Die Hard 2: Die Harder

Excellent, though flawed

"Die Hard 2: Die Harder" is a good sequel to "Die Hard", but it could have been better.

There are, in my opinion, way too many spots in the movie where the story is a bit weak. The dialog also gets weak a bit.

This movie is much more violent than the original. Language is also a lot more colorful than the original "Die Hard". Parents, this is not a movie for children.

Bruce Willis does an excellent job in the role that made him a movie star. Most of the other actors seem like they are there just to get a paycheck. "Holly McClane" and "Dick Thornberg" were a waste of film, having "John McClane's" wife on a plane is a good reason to get him involved with the crisis, but I think "Dick Thornberg" should have been in the airport instead of the female reporter who had a role that was almost short enough to be considered a cameo.

The suspense was very weak in this movie. There were some suspenseful moments, but they were too short when they would have been longer.

This is a good movie, despite the plot holes, and a pretty good sequel and would be an excellent addition to a DVD/video library.
