It is just a pale imitation of its predecessor with similar dialogue, a weaker villain, numbing explosions and half the fun the first film. As a sequel, its much bigger than its original; but better? No way.

The second installment of a great action movie series.

John McClane is back to pick his wife up from the airport in New York when he runs into some trouble with terrorists who take over the flight grid and plan to execute their evil plans at will. McClane is forced into action when the lives of thousands of people including his wife are threatened. The smart-talking and gun blasting is alive and well in this picture. The character and story line retained in this sequel is blatantly repeated from the first but definitely welcome. That much is rare. John continues to be the normal everyday cop who accomplishes superhuman feats without really overreaching practicality, again, rare. I thought the fight scenes and shootouts were on the choppy side. That could be attributed to the older action style and the authentic nature that John McClane is meant to show. A bunch of clever bad guys up against a guy who just wont die, what more could you ask for? Well done. Action/Bruce Willis classic, it's worth a watch.… Expand

It's a sad commentary, but every year around the holidays I start thinking about John McClain. That is how ingrained media has become in our minds.

That is how ingrained media has become in our minds. This week I decided to watch Die Hard 2 for the 8 millionth time, because unlike most sequels, I found it to be better than the first. Not to say that the first isn't a classic film, but the second one has two things the first lacked. First, Director, Renny Harlan, who is the master of action films, completely unappreciated, and a man who has given me hours of excitement. The second thing is the supporting cast, which features the likes of Dennis Franz from NYPD Blue, Fred Thompson of Law n' Order, and of course veteran character actor, William Sadler. Willis once again is brilliant as John McClain and gave the 90's a true action hero! The Die Hard films are the frame work by which all modern action films are compared and if you skipped the second one, because it was a sequel, you're an idiot! This is a can't miss movie for action junkies.… Expand

After Die Hard hit it's predecessor for the audience and me, Die Hard 2 hit the big screen. It may not be as good as each other but it's still had the thrills and action and the music from Michael Kamen. Bruce Willis reprises his role as JohnAfter Die Hard hit it's predecessor for the audience and me, Die Hard 2 hit the big screen. It may not be as good as each other but it's still had the thrills and action and the music from Michael Kamen. Bruce Willis reprises his role as John McClane and all the suspense with the action still hits the film with all the dignity. After the people are saved at the Nakakomi Plaza, John has to save the people at the airport from the plane crashes caused by the terrorists including Col. Stuart played by William Sadler. There's only one plane crash which is caused by Col. Stuart and John gets upset. The people who are not from the first film know John McClane because he saved hostages at the Nakatomi Plaza. Jeez, that's a coincidence. I actually love the ending fight scene and the plane explosion. Surely I can't even get over this movie much like the first film. I would talk much about it but I can't do it anymore. It's just McClane shooting terrorists and saving the airport even though I know what causes the plane crash. It took place on Christmas Eve much like the first Die Hard and Bruce still says the line that is from the first film. Yep, you guessed it, "Yippie-ki-yay, motherf£$ker!" I'll bet he says that in all of the Die Hard films. While Die Hard is the most popular and memorable film of all time, Die Hard 2 had it's reputation to become a sequel and to think that Die Hard had to milk in all the sequels to impress audience and critics and myself alike. Many people say that this is the worst out of all of them, well I disagree with them, I just love and think it's a great sequel, okay, not that great but still good. But now the fifth film came out, people went mad. They said they don't like the fifth film and calling it a piece of crap. The recent Die Hard films are nothing compare to the old ones. And in the third film, it won't be the same with Holly McClane, Richard Thornberg and Al Powell from the first one to be precise. Yeah, I know he had a small role in the second film which I'm doing but that's just when he was in Los Angeles. Either ways that's Die Hard 2, a sequel to Die Hard, have my congratulations.… Expand

Both are great films). Another reason was that it had fantastic development. Yes, some of the villains were forgettable, but Die Hard 2 is still fun and sometimes creative.… Expand

Die Hard 2 doesn't live up to the excitement of the first movie. Its still decent overall with some great action sequences, but it also has too much exposition in comparison to the first movie.

Basically a knock-off of the original Die Hard but with one of the most memorable death scenes in film history. Still enjoyable and featuring Canadian actress Sheila McCarthy of 'Little Mosque on the Prairie' fame.

This sequel is trying to be the first Die Hard, but it fails miserably. Most of the acting is average at best, the movie tries to be silly fun, but comes off as stupid instead and worst of all, it's even a little bit boring at times.

It looks like a rehash... maybe because I was too blindfolded to see that. Oh, it is. Not only that, but it's also enjoyable and it builds up a stack of freshness to keep the movie going.

After the all-round awesomeness of the first movie, the sequel is disappointingly nonsensical, with a cardboard cut-out villain whose primary motivation is that he's a bit peed off with the government or something - nobody really cares, least of all the villain - and such a ludicrous finale that it makes the climax of Batman v Superman seem positively believable. In fact, the whole premise is so utterly ridiculous that even John McClane decides to up and quit his job with the LAPD and go back to New York for the next (much better) film.… Expand

Die Hard 2 loses the surprise effect and is worse than the first one, but does that make it a bad movie? Not at all.
We have in our hands a very entertaining movie with a Bruce Willis who is still unleashed.

Bigger does not mean better. Although our compelling hero is back in action, "Die Hard 2: Die Harder" has quite a few absurd conveniences sprinkled in different places that really takes viewers out of the movie.

This sequel to 1988's excellent original Die Hard also with Bruce Willis this time takes place at an airport.. Die Hard 2's violence is reduced, the action scenes are less interesting and the blood is reduced. The villains aren't that good as the original and are laughable as they take over an airport and cause mayhem. The action scenes are pretty poor and Bruce Willis as John McClane doesn't seem as convincing as the first. I wish I could of starred in Die Hard 2 to steal a plane and fly off so I never had to watch this piece of junk in the first place. A terrible sequel to a brilliant original.… Expand
