Well above-board action flick

Rating: 8/10 (8 May 2003)

I never saw the original Die Hard in the theatre, so when I heard that this sequel was being made, I knew I had to see it in the theatre. And I was disappointed! I was blown away when I saw this, I actually thought it was better than the original! But looking back, it's not nearly as good as the original and not even as good as Die Hard 3. And this is due to one thing, John McTiernan.
Renny Harlin does a competent job at directing but doesn't have the style of McTiernan. That being said the action scenes are bigger and longer but not better.
Not a classic but still a good action flick!
