To follow up on perfection is hard, and Renny Harlin didn't quite make it, but Die Hard 2 is a good movie non-the-less. Willis does a good job being an ordinary cop in an extraordinary situation yet again, and even though the setting is a bit more "open" than Die Hard...it works. The dialogue is a little more stiff and artificial than the first one, but it's nothing you'll notice too much. The action is actually a little step up from its predecessor but might be a tad "overdone" in some places. It doesn't really hurt the movie, and might even have made it better for some.
I've got some nice memories tied to this movie, and for me, it's even more of a Christmas movie than the first one. The first time I watched it was with my father on VHS, and, you guessed it, it was around Christmas time.
Yes...Renny Harlin has had some turkeys to his name, but Die Hard 2 is a good movie and deserves to be remembered as such even though it fell a little short of the first one, and I'll rewatch it again and again in the coming years.
