Die Hard 2 Ratings & Reviews
- StreetterSeptember 4, 2025Second Best Christmas Action Movie of all time!
- tomisto7December 20, 2025An excellent Christmas movie :)
- mickerdooFebruary 13, 2026Not as good as the first but at least the story is different and there are a couple surprises.
- Brucef1ixMarch 3, 2026Actually my favourite in the series. They fall flat after this
- Ty LeetDecember 24, 2025Bruh this is just the average LAX experience…
- bendymanMarch 2, 2025Yippee Kay Yay
- JakeysDecember 30, 2025A bit more forgettable than the first, it's a serviceable action movie but not an iconic classic. Yippee ki yay, Mr. Falcon.
- bpenbertDecember 16, 2024Great sequel👍👍👍
- Doc WormDecember 30, 2025Attempts to be bigger and louder than the first film. In that regard- it mostly succeeds. It is however bloated and unruly. Things seem to happen a bit too conveniently. You’ll get whiplash from how quickly they move from one bombastic story beat to the next. Regardless of its many issues- it’s overall pretty fun. William Sadler doing naked tai chi in a hotel room was great. Oliver Wood’s cinematography paints the whole film in gritty shadow work that’s overall pretty pleasant to look at as well.
- Brian M. ArmstrongDecember 26, 2025As good as the first and a classic of modern proportions!
- jason6822December 25, 2025Another great die hard movie
- DurosityDecember 15, 2025The problem is, it’s not die hard 1… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- no1warr1orDecember 12, 2025The diehard movies are all classics. Always enjoy watching 1 and 2 around Christmas time 😄
- ZokkiieDecember 5, 2025A bigger, snowier follow-up that’s still a lot of fun. Bruce Willis brings the same scrappy charm, the action is wild, and the airport setting keeps things tense. Not as tight as the first, but definitely a solid, crowd-pleasing sequel.
- shamonsNovember 30, 2025A classic Christmas movie to watch every season. As a pilot, a little ATC nonsense is okay with the fun of the film. Plus, if you are like me and enjoy a "six degrees of separation" Chrisrmas movie list, this has a quick appearance by Leguizamo, which gives you the ability to spin off to Violent Night to wrap up a good Christmas shooter evening.
