Top reviews from the United States Lawrance BernaboReviewed in the United States on December 31, 2003 5.0 out of 5 stars Another Christmas, another terrorist crisis for John McClaneVerified purchase "Die Hard" has become the standard by which every action film made since 1988 has been judged and almost invariably found wanting. Films were sold in Hollywood on the basis of being reduced to such ideas as "'Die Hard' in a bus" (i.e, "Speed"). Of course another Hollywood tradition is to make a sequel of any successful film, so in 1990 Bruce Willis went back in front of the camera, this time with director Renny Harlin ("The Long Kiss Goodnight"), to do a sequel. "Die Hard
2: Die Harder" is not as good as the original, but it does have a self-reflexivity that (for the most part) makes this film work. Ultimately I would rate this at 4.5 stars, but by the standard of sequels that is an exceptional accomplishment, so I round up. 6 people found this helpful 4.0 out of 5 stars A solid action movie.Verified purchase While I don't like this one as much as the original Die Hard or With a Vengeance, this one is still really good. A near peak Bruce Willis performance. KRNRNNPReviewed in the United States on April 13, 2019 5.0 out of 5 stars As great as the first, and YES Die Hard 2 is ALSO a Christmas 🎄 movie!!!Verified purchase Aahhhh...the good old days when action movies weren’t over-digitized unrealistic crap. I know I’m sounding old and a bit boring (I’m only in my 40’s!) but I like watching REAL men do REAL (or realistic) stunts. In other words, moving in ways that are actually plausible for a human being in a similar situation... not like some of the more recent movies that look more like video games!!! The early 90’s seemed to be some of the last of this more authentic action. Also the actual visual experience of the less digitized movies then just seems more real to me. I won’t necessarily waste time reviewing the plot other than to say I’m maybe one of the few who loves this movie as much as the original. Bruce And Bonnie were great as always, and it was nice seeing Al again (although briefly), but I enjoyed the rest of the cast as well. Dennis Franz (pre- NYPD BLUE) played off Bruce Willis and it kept me laughing. I still use, and think of some of their banter today! And of course the very missed Fred Thompson, RIP. Also, even though they were the bad guys, I thought John Amos And William Sadler did excellent work too. Even the blonde newscaster lady was (unintentionally) funny at times, and Art Evans as the tower engineer Leslie Barnes. And I’m glad William Atherton rejoined again as the proverbial unethical newsman jackass who will do anything for a story and who didn’t love Marvin, the janitor in the basement jamming the 1940’s tunes? 😁 Needless to say, I thought Die Hard 2 had a good mix of humor AND action. And I liked that they stuck with the Christmas season and being in Washington D.C. instead of L.A., the snow added a nice ambience. One of my favorite action sequences was the snowmobiles, because, well, I love to sled!!! Many
sequels never touch the first but IMO, for me, this one is just as good. If you haven’t seen it, get it. You won’t be sorry. 25 people found this helpful Robert SpenceReviewed in the United States on August 6, 2021 4.0 out of 5 stars Great Movie Overall, But Some Parts Were REALLY Hard To Believe.Verified purchase I saw this film in the theatre the first time around, back in 1990. I was in my early 20's, and absolutely loved it. Watching the re-wind as a 50ish year old man, I still enjoyed it, BUT I simply can't be that naive, anymore. There were at least a dozen different circumstances that were simply too impossible to ignore, but for me, the biggest one by far was when Bruce Willis (McClain) used an EJECTION SEAT to escape the grounded C-17 or C130 aircraft, after the bad guys lobbed grenades into the cockpit. HINT: Neither the C-17 or the C-130 could ever possibly support ejection seats. Only 1-seater or 2-seater aircraft have the required detachable, exploding canopy, which allows for an ejection seat to function. This was a cargo plane. (Completely impossible. McClain should have died, right there.)

JEFFREY BoneReviewed in the United States on April 1, 2021 4.0 out of 5 stars Yeah I paid an additional 3.99 to rent it.Verified purchase I always like this movie as a cool but typical aly flawed Action movie. It's fun. But I seem to have picked up Another Goof that was missed in the Trivia. Just after the annex Skywalk SWAT Team disaster, McClane picks up one of the terrorists walkie-talkies and he clearly hears a terrorists voice talking on it, but then he is talking Barnes that we need some access code to hear what the terrorists are saying? What? McClane also rants on the same radio to insult terrorists Stuart!? What access code is needed? Seems working alright? Maybe I fail to understand something?
