Enjoyable over-the-top sequel

Rating: 8/10 (26 May 2013)

Die Hard 2 isn't as good as the first, but still makes for a most enjoyable action movie, with stupendous, far-fetched escapades ensuring constant thrills. This sees yet another crisis for John McClane, this time at Dulles International Airport.
One of the main reasons it works is having a normal guy like John McClane thrust into absurd situations, and McClane often comments on not only the scrapes he's getting into, but his disbelief that he's faced with yet another terrorist scenario after the events of the first film.
The constant referencing does get annoying after awhile though - it wasn't really necessary to remind us of it throughout the film, all the way to the end.
