Crowd Pleaser

Rating: Null/10 (30 May 2004)

John McClane (Bruce Willis) arrives to Washington's main airport to pick up his wife, Holly. But upon waiting, McClane stumbles into a team of mercenaries who seize the airport and threaten to chaos if a drug kingpin isn't given to them. John fights to save the lives in the air and on the ground, while famously asking himself "How can the same sh*t happen to the same guy twice??!"
Bruce Willis hits the mark for the second time in the series. His character is just as enjoyable and funny as when we saw him in Die Hard one. Most of the other characters remain interesting all throughout the film, providing suspense and humor.
The screenplay is made of real wit, as we know from listening to the characters talk to each other. The plot changes numerous times too, perhaps a few too many times; as it becomes silly near the end.
Still, "Die hard 2" is a great sequel in this saga of action movie gold. had it not been for some of the silliness, then this might have had a shot at being just as good (if not better) than the original.
