Where to Watch Die Hard 2
- Corey BurkesAugust 29, 2026A classic showing its age. Plenty of flaws and the lack of anyone with any cellphones is hilarious. Do you know, the whole story changes if cellphones existed in this film as they do now?
- 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.
- 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!
- 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.
