highly recommended

Director Renny Harlin (Cutthroat Island) took the reins of this 1990 sequel, which places Bruce Willis's New York City cop character in harm's way again with a gaggle of terrorists. This time, Willis awaits his wife's arrival at Dulles Airport in Washington, D.C., when he gets wind of a plot to blow up the facility. Noisy, overbearing, and forgettable, the film has none of the purity of its predecessor's simple story; and it makes a huge miscalculation in allowing a terrible tragedy to occur rather than stretch out the tension. Where Die Hard set new precedents in action movies, Die Hard 2 is just an anything-goes spectacle. --Tom Keogh

GREAT BLU RAY MOVIE

I love all the Die Hard movies. I own all of them on Blu Ray. The picture on this movie is unbelieveable and the sound is outstanding. This is a true testment of Blu Ray. Overall I'm a HUGE Bruce Willis fan .....especially the Die Hard series. So I guess this review is more of a statement as to how great Blu Ray is...the movie really speaks for itself.

Die Hard 2

My boyfriend is a huge Bruce Willis fan and he loves the Die Hard series. Great Action Movie

More than enough action.

Die Hard 2, like so many other sequels, fails to live up to it's predecessor. That said, this is still a successful film. Don't continuously compare to the 1988 film, and you'll probably like it. John McClane is now a minor celebrity for his exploits at the Nakatomi building in Los Angeles. He is at the Dulles international airport in D.C., waiting for Holly's plane to arrive. It just so happens that a disposed Dictator, General Esperansa (Franco Nero) will be arriving at the airport. A group of highly-trained thugs, led by Colonel Stewart (William Sanderson) have plans to see to it that the Dictator is well taken of. Immediately, McClane knows something is up, but the police chief, Lorenzo (Dennis Franz) is an idiot who doesn't seem to appreciate what McClane is doing. Why is it that most police chiefs are incompetent? I wonder how they ever got to where they are. McClane also had to deal with a dumb chief last time ("We're gonna need some more FBI guys, I guess") Although John McTiernan directed the previous film, Renny Harlin stepped as director for this sequel. He is not a great director, but capably handles the material and delivers plenty of what to expect: knock-out action scenes. Returning as McClane, Willis creates a very likable hero and wise-@$$. Sheila McCarthy. playing a news reporter, proves to be very annoying. It's a wonder that McClane didn't shoot her. There's a horrific plane-crash in this film, so I doubt this is the best film to see for those with a fear of flying. Film is a little much at times (Did anybody else hate it when the old-church guy is killed?), but provides entertainment, which is the movie's goal, and it succeeds.
