I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Sadly Over-hyped

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Extremely annoying. Yiu have planes that stay in a holding pattern, because apparently NO OTHER AIRPORTS EXIST ON THE ENTIRE EAST COAST. You have airport officials that can't contact anybody about the terrorists, except they do so effortlessly when the script calls for it. Oh, and of COURSE they can ONLY contact people who are part of the conspiracy. What ridiculous twadddle.

While it doesn't quite live up to the action masterpiece that is the first "Die Hard," this was still an excellent sequel. It has plenty of action and one-liners to come around.Bruce Willis once again nails the role of John McClain. Like the last time, he is both human and tough as nails. It just makes you appreciate him that much more when you think about how he degenerated into a Superman figure in the 4th and 5th films in the series.Renny Harlin does a good job directing this movie, properly building suspense. The story may be another terrorist plot, but they managed to really make it work. There was a plot twist that was extremely well done which I won't spoil. The airport was a nice setting for the conflict to take place in, and I also liked the snowy atmosphere.The action scenes are an absolute blast. The action taking place at the airport was great, and the last 30 minutes of the film kept me on the edge of my seat.The reasons it isn't quite as good as the first one is because it isn't quite as briskly paced and the villains, while still good, aren't nearly as memorable as Alan Rickman's Hans Gruber.However, I was still very pleased with this sequel overall. I consider this movie to be very underrated and a great action movie in its own right. Check this one out.RATING: A-

Die Hard 2 Die Harder follows the same tropes as most action movie sequel. It goes bigger and automatically thinks it's better. The plot of the second film is almost identical to the first, but this time it is at an airport. It was directed by Renny Harlin who also directed Cliffhanger a little later. He is known for making dumb popcorn action flicks. And this one is no exception. There are a lot of fun sequences, but over all I felt very bored watching this film. Unlike the 1st, 3rd and even 4th.

This has got to be one of the worst written pieces of crap ever put to celluloid. That being said, if you don't enjoy seeing it, repeatedly, you're probably already dead. I'm still amazed that this was based on a book, like an actual book and not on a comic or a fortune cookie or even a corporate logo printed on a paper napkin.Let's take a closer look and, although there are spoilers they'll only lead to the enjoyment of this exercise in absurdity. The first thing I noticed is Bruce Willis seems to get the same little cut above his right eyebrow as he got in the first movie. I know, nit picking, but it's almost like a studio found that the eyebrow injury tested well among audiences. Okay, so that was a little bit of a minor thing compared to things like grenades with the longest fuse, ever or the completely gratuitous nude scene from our villain with the perfectly sculpted posterior, but it sort of gives you an inkling of where I'm heading here. If you look too closely at this film, it'll drive you mad. They put so much detail into this film and most of it is pure nonsense. In it, you get Colm Meany and Patrick O'Neal speaking to each other in fake accents for absolutely no reason whatsoever. You'll see a hole in a windshield just to remind you that there's a hole in a windshield. You'll have someone describe the hole in the windshield although it'll really have no impact on the plot other than there being said hole in said windshield. You'll watch airplanes land on runways covered with debris from other airplanes... wait, I'm just going to stop there because there are way too many plot holes, mistakes, goofs or just plain nonsense in this film that it makes Transformers look like a documentary.At the end of it, you just won't care. It has some magical ability to just make all the nonsense go away and leave you rooting for the indestructible John Mclean and his plucky band of sidekicks. Watch this movie, you'll enjoy it more than it deserves.
