Die Hard 2 (1990)
6/10
One of the best sequels ever.
1 December 2020
I will never understand the disdain for this movie. It has everything good from the original, only in a different setting, this time an airport. John McClane is as badass and wisecracking as always, the villain is awesome and genuinely terrifying, and the action is as good as ever. Also, this is hands down the best looking movie out of the entire franchise; the camera work outside the airport in the snow is just gorgeous.

And the cherry on top is that this movie has one of the most creative deaths for the villain in cinema history, that just doesn't get talked enough. Over the top in all the right ways.

Trying to dismiss this movie because it's not as "realistic" as the original is stupid; there is nothing realistic about one lone cop being able to foil a terrorist attack. Get over yourselves.
