Better than "Die Hard"

That's a great summary.
Also Renny Harlin was actually way better than McTiernan in orchestrating the action. I remember being blown away by the way DH2 was shot, it felt like something new and yet when I look at it now - it still has that classic look, just innovated. Die Hard looked good, but Die Hard 2 was a fu*king balls-to-the-wall SPECTACLE. In my opinion it was the peak of the 80s/90s action cinema, it went downhill from then and ended probably with Cliffhanger. Later you had Die Hard 3 with the shaky cam and Michael Bay with his chaotic editing and it just wasn't the same. -

!!!!
I agree with all those who prefer this over the original and this is way-better than the crap snooze-fest of
Die Hard with a Vengeance
!! I have never seen four or five and have no plans to
Truly, one of the BEST action-flicks of ALL-TIME.
Well, most people are idiots with bad tasteso there! -

There is police bias in this one though. The head of the airport police refused to have his men fingerprint the guy who died and insisted that he and the other guy McClaine fought/killed were just punks stealing luggage. Also the cop at the beginning (who happens' to be the chief's brother) is also a complete jerk who hates anyone who isn't from around where he lives.
Green Goblin is great! -

I can't believe all the love for this movie. I admit I enjoy it as an action movie, but it is littered with problems and a ton of plot holes. I would have preferred this movie be a standalone action movie as opposed to being a sequel to Die Hard. The sequel should have been Die Hard: With A Vengeance seeing as how they directly tie in with each other.

All the love? Maybe or maybe not on this board, but outside this board sadly and unfortunately there's a lot more hate than love. This IS the best of the Die Hards, and I do LOVE IT!
I'll let you know when I come-up with a new signature,

This is the only place you'll find enthusiasm for it. Go on the Film General board on here and praise this movie over, say, the other die hard sequels, and you'll get a load of butt hurt nerds up in arms telling you how bad this sequel is (even though it's the only die hard sequel that matches the look and tone of the original).
The Die Hard 2 board is rightly a sanctuary for praise of this unique action movie.
There's only one man who'd DARE give me the raspberry
