You can't get too much of a good thing
For those who argue
that Die Hard 2 is a desperate re-hash of the original... So what? I
didn't expect a companion piece like The Godfather Part II. Die Hard
was about a really cool guy in a really bad situation, and the result
was probably the greatest action movie ever made. Die Hard 2 achieves
status on its own just by being about the same thing. When so many
movies want to be Die Hard but fail, why not just make another Die Hard?
Director Renny Harlin (Cliffhanger)realized that because it's a sequel,
there had to be more stunts and explosions. So there is. Die Hard 2
(appropriately called Die Harder) ups the ante a bit and has fun with a
flurry of furious action scenarios. The fight on the wing of the plane
is a classic in its own right, and Die Hard 2 stands alone as one of the
best of the genre.
