Film Review - Die Hard 2 (1990)

Die Hard 2 takes place in Washington International Airport and soon finds itself under the control of terrorists who want a captured general on his way to the States to stand trial, but also there is John McClane picking up his wife who is now trapped on one of the other flights, and so McClane is now ending up with the same thing happening all over again.


Which is also the exact problem I had with Die Hard 2, it feels like a retread of the original film but with a much bigger scope to it and nowhere near what the original had in terms of its moviemaking, sure it was entertaining but with a film like this that had such an exceptional original behind it, the bar is set higher and as a result, it doesn’t quite hit that mark.


So all in all, a 2 and a half out of 5 for Die Hard 2.
