As good as the original

Rating: 8/10 (17 November 2013)

Lt. John McClane (Bruce Willis) returns for a new Christmas special. He's waiting for his wife at Washington's Dulles Airport when terrorists take over the electronics. He's again the lone wolf at the wrong place at the wrong time having to rescue his wife (Bonnie Bedelia). Everybody's back. Even Powell (Reginald VelJohnson) is here to help to fight a new set of bad guys.
The sequel is as good as the original. The setting is different but the formula stays the same. McClane is wise cracking like before. He's the everyman that's different from all the other muscle bound meatheads superhumans. The franchise is well underway.
