An Honest Review

Rating: 10/10 (26 January 2020)

I was 10 in 1990, I loved Die Hard, and I hated Die Hard 2.
Now I'm 40 and I am rewatching this and.... compared to movies today it is pretty good. If this was made in 2020 it would be a 10 out of 10 star smash blockbusting hit that all of America raves about except the "everything is political all the time crowd."
But it didn't, it came out in 1990 and because of that it was a subpar sort of BS action movie that in no way lived up to the first one.
The thing is... I'm writing the review in 2020. Today it's a good movie if you compare it to most everything in the theaters today and especially to the new Die Hard movies.
