Review of Die Hard 2 (1990) by Tim N — 21 Mar 2015
Die Hard 2 works as an over the top action movie. The character of John McClane is as cool as ever, and Bruce Willis does a great job in the role. The action scenes are very well executed and exciting, if occasionally over the top (with gernades that allow McClane to escape by waiting to exploded).
It's pretty well paced and consistently engaging. The biggest flaw this film has is the plot holes. There are countless conveniences to allow our hero to prevail that bring the movie down. It also has a lot of things we've already seen before.
There is a pretty clever twist that comes into play later in the film that works. As a whole, this movie is not very original, but very entertaining. Die Hard 2 gets 3/5 stars (B-).
