Well, for a sequel then the 1990 movie "Die Hard 2" is actually surpassing what you would normally expect from a sequel. And yeah, part 2 definitely had big shoes to fill after the 1988 first "Die Hard" movie.
Writers Steven E. de Souza and Doug Richardson definitely delivered an interesting script that most certainly delivered most of the excitement and action that was seen in the first movie, and that is just part of what makes "Die Hard 2" a great sequel.
This is an action movie with a big A. There is a heap of action and I mean in a massive abundance, and that definitely helps the movie along greatly too. So strap yourself in for another adrenalin-filled thrill ride with Bruce Willis at the helm as John McClane. And it should be noticed that the action sequences in "Die Hard 2" are nicely choreographed and executed for great enjoyment on the screen.
Something that also was rather impressive about "Die Hard 2" was the impressive cast that they had managed to get together for this sequel. Of course you have Bruce Willis in the lead role, but it was also nice to see the likes of Bonnie Bedelia, William Atherton and Reginald VelJohnson reprise their roles from the first movie. And "Die Hard 2" also have some nice performances and appearances by the likes of William Sadler, John Amos, Dennis Franz, Robert Patrick, John Leguizamo and Mark Boone Junior. So you see, "Die Hard 2" is filled with great and familiar names.
I also like the subtle jabs at being a sequel that there was in the dialogue, delivered both by John McClane and Holly McClane.
"Die Hard 2" is a great follow up to the 1988 classic, and if you haven't already seen the 1990 movie "Die Hard 2", you should do so, as it is well worth the time and effort. My rating of "Die Hard 2" lands on a 7 out of 10 stars.
