The action situations in the original were more sparse, believable, and well-staged. But the biggest offense of DIE HARD 2 is the cringe-inducing dialogue. It is really bad. One of the reasons many of the characters come off so bland, monotone, and annoying. I mean, it is unintentionally laughable.

Hans Gruber, the terrorist played by Alan Rickman, set new standards for movie villainy in the previous film, so the director Renny Harlin went to special lengths to give his baddie – Colonel Stuart, formerly of the US Special Forces – the same sort of indelible charisma. Obviously, this meant first meeting him oiled and naked and doing tai chi in ...
One thing that Die Hard 2 does do very well is the crash of flight Windsor 114. Even though the plane is full of stereotypically mimsying ninnies, the crash itself is all terror, scale and spectacle. It's also the last time John McClane responded to anything in a recognisibly human manner. Pagers, smoking in airports, being allowed to shoot caretak...
One of these days, John McClane will be wandering around an enemy stronghold loudly describing how he can't believe that this keeps happening to him, and a baddie's going to hear and shoot him.
Well, there's the Taser-wielding old lady on the plane. Or Marvin, the deranged janitor. Or could it be my favourite, Major Grant? Sweet throat-slitting, ball-obsessed Major Grant, played by John Amos. There'll always be room in my heart for him.

Jul 2, 1990 · Die Hard 2 is the film that really made Die Hard an amazing franchise. Because it became a series with this film. Die Hard 2 might have a different setting from the first one, but it still was astonishing. One thing that made it great was that it was directed by Renny Harlin(A Nightmare on Elm Street 4 director. Both are great films).

Die Hard 2 is a blast. Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Apr 3, 2015. Dave Kehr Chicago Tribune Even when the script wanders into cynical overkill, Harlin makes sure the violence has some ...
Die Hard 2 is not as tightly focused as the original, and this leeches away some of the excitement. The movie is still a thrill-a-minute ride, but much of the action is more pedestrian than stylish. Renny Harlin is a fair replacement for John McTiernan in the director's chair, but he lacks a measure of his predecessor's refinement.
