The second best sequel in the series

After the so so Die Hard,2O Century Fox brought back the director of the first for the thrid go around. It was a wise choice because it's the second best sequel in the series. Die Hard: With a Vengeance is my thrid favorite in the series because of the presence of Samuel L. Jackson and that the film is on Mcclane home turf. Bruce Willis is funnier this time around and the action sequences are amazing. Samuel L. Jackson provides a great sidekick to Mcclane and plays his angry black man with ease.

Die hard son!

I'm a die hard fan. Not one of em to me has sucked. The first one will always be the best. The rest are just fun and entertaining. "I picked a hell of a day to quit drinking!"

A both good action movie and sequel, but definetly the weakest in the franchise

This second sequel in the Die Hard series brings back Det. John Mclane, this time teamed up with Samuel L. Jackson. The sequel accomplishes to become an independent sequel to the previous entry. the previous entry (Die Harder) tended to make to many references to the first die hard movie. Instead this sequel manages to move on from that.

Unlike the previous installments which take place in Christmas Eve, in this one its unclear on what day it takes place. I for one thought that was a good move from the director. as a matter of fact what makes the sequel work is the return of the first Die Hard (John McTiernan) he knows the character and the setting of these movies; so that's good.

The antagonist in this one is Simon Gruber, the brother of Hans Gruber. Hans Gruber was the antagonist of the first Die Hard. It first appears as though Simon is out to avenge his brother's death, but it is later revealed that other motives are at work. All of this works in the movie....so why call the movie the "weakest" in the franchise? Well simple, the movie tries so hard to live up to part one by being independent from part one..."But wait you said that being independent from one was a good thing" yes I did say that, but there is a difference from being independent and becoming independent. EX: In being independent you are making little or no mentioning of the previous film, the movie is a sequel but goes on its own path, much like a 007 movie or a Romero Zombie movie. That's how I felt Die Hard needed to be. and becoming independent is what this movie tries. for the first hour we have a movie that manages to bring up some points from the first and move on, and the last hour we have an over the top sequel that is so desperately trying to be bigger and better because its Die Hard; oh and did I mention that its with a Vengeance? lol.

Anyhow the movie is not bad; in fact it's quite entertaining and has a lot of surprises. It's just that it becomes implausible when it goes overboard. Also anther bothering thing was the editing; it was weak, specifically in the end. I later checked on the special features and it mentions that there was an alternate ending that had to be removed. If they had left it I might have given the movie a higher rating.

MY PERSONAL RATING: 3 ½ OUT OF 5

Minus one star for the stupid Yippe Kiy Yay liner.

Yippy Kiy What the *&%$!!!
That minor complaint aside, a fun popcorn movie that will appeal to action fans.
A good script, lots of explosions, good acting. What more can you ask for?
Go rent.
Check your IQ at the door.

MUCH IMPROVED ON BLU-RAY

This is easily the best looking transfer of this film ever released with far greater picture quality than previous DVD releases. Though not a jaw dropping transfer like 'Casino Royale' or classics like 'The Searchers'-it's still much improved from the 'Die Hard Collection' version.
