Reviews for Die Hard 2: Die Harder
[A] cynical, formulaic sequel.
11/27/07
Try harder; a worthless sequel.

No review available.
08/22/03
This disappointing followup to Die Hard has more action and bigger action, but considerably less suspense.
10/21/05
A second-rate one-upping.

Top CriticNo review available.
07/16/05
A lot of people get shot and many punches are thrown, but there are zero memorable setpieces.
07/25/01
If your idea of a good time is watching a lot of stupid, unpleasant people insult and brutalize one another, this is right up your alley.
11/27/07
Top CriticThe setup is much more improbable as Willis' cop just happens to be at the scene of another mega-showdown.
07/18/02
Too loud, too many explosions, too little intelligence.
09/17/04
Though the follow-up is bigger, it's not really better. The surprise is missing.

03/19/04
Merely a serviceable action flick, sorely missing both a sense of stylistic clarity as well as the glorious excess this kind of modern western-meets-Indiana Jones affair deserves.
07/03/07
There's not much of a plot.
03/16/03
Lame-brain sequel filled with some of the most ridiculous deaths in movie history.
02/04/03
No one carries a one-liner better than Willis. He's also unusual among Hollywood's Action Men in seeming vulnerable at the same time as being invincible.
01/26/06
A sequel worth seeing.
04/17/01
"How can the same thing happen to the same guy twice?" asks a bewildered and ultra-ironic John McClane. Well, make a film as successful as Die Hard and you'll soon find out.
