Normally, the post titles depend on what version of the film I've watched. The film was released as Die Hard 2 in cinemas and on the movie's title card, but in Australia, we call the film Die Hard 2: Die Harder. So that's why instead of using the correct title, I used Die Hard 2 - Die Harder

Synopsis
In 1990, A year after his heroics in L.A, detective John McClane (Bruce Willis) is mixed up in another terrorist plot, this time at Washington Dulles International Airport, where he is waiting for his wife (Bonnie Bedelia). That same night, South American politico and drug profiteer Ramon Esperanza (Franco Nero) is arriving in U.S. custody. McClane takes action when a treasonous ex-colonel (William Sadler) seizes control of the airport, threatening to crash every inbound flight unless Esperanza is freed.
Review
Hard take but Die Harder is better then Die Hard. Why? Well, this movie is funnier, has better writing, and better fight scenes. Also, the villian's death in this movie is incredible.
Die Hard 2 is a Christmas flick that can be watched at any time of the year. It's great, the villains are better, and the writing in this movie is more genius.
When we cut to Holly on the plane with the old lady and Thornburg, we get countless funny scenes, but also some other serious ones like when they're praying after finding out about the other plane crash.
Constanza does a great job at being the bad protagonist, and Willis' acting is actually better in this one then last time.
Die Hard 2 is a great flick with a great cast and writing, and you should watch it NOW.
My only advice is that if you're on a plane and they have this movie in the film selection, don't watch it. It's probably cut by... 1hr, 55m. (p.s. the film is 1hr, 57m)
Rating: 8/10
