Review of Die Hard 2 (1990) by Dann M — 10 Dec 2013
"How can the same shit happen to the same guy twice?" Right?! Die Hard 2 suffers (as so many films do) from the sequel syndrome: more of the same, and bigger. Die Hard was such a phenomenal success, that it was just too hard to live up to.
The film tries too hard: McClane tosses out jokes and quips left and right like a one-man comedy show, and there are three main villains involved in an overly complex terrorist plot. But script problems aside, Die Hard 2 brings the action in some spectacular sequences.
Whatever problems there are with this film, it's an exciting, action-packed adventure that's extremely entertaining.
