Fun in the Snow

Rating: 7/10 (24 October 2015)

It was always going to be difficult to produce a sequel to match the suspense and action of the original Die Hard. Instead of tension, what you get is a whole lot more explosions! Why change the trusted formula, its once again set before Xmas, McLane's wife's life is once again in danger; and the annoying television reporter is back to add more irritating screen time to the proceedings. You have to suspend belief at the number of times McLane manages to spring back to life after numerous life threatening escapades, but if Rambo can get through an entire movie without being killed then why can't McLane? A glorious and spectacular finale to see off the fiendish enemies and a cheesy ending which sees Mr & Mrs McLane reunited in the snow :-)
