Not as good as the 1st!

Rating: 6/10 (15 September 2004)

I enjoyed this sequel but it was nowhere near as spectacular as the first one. The plot was much less realistic and the acting wasn't as good even though they had more famous actors in it. Don't get me wrong, it still was a good movie and it especially has more meaning in today's times since we're dealing with terrorism now on a daily basis but it just didn't flow as smoothly as the first installment of this series. There was one big plot twist which was pretty nice and as unbelievable as the plot seemed, something similar to this could probably happen someday if we're not careful. Bruce Willis was good and the "Die Hard" trilogy (unless the rumors are true about a fourth one coming out soon) is probably my favorite role of his...well actually one of the very few that I like him in. If you haven't seen this or if you have and it has been awhile then watching this again can't hurt. And yes, Dennis Franz is just as annoying in movies as he is on television!
Final Shot:
Movies : Would have no desire to pay extra to see this.
DVD Purchase : Only if you buy the complete set because it's cool to watch them all in a row.
Rental : A tight flick to rent!
