 | | There isn't as much suspense, or edge of your seat excitement as there was present in the original Die Hard, but director Renny Harlin makes up for this with more gun fights, grenade throwing, and bad guys getting killed when Willis tosses them through jet engines. |
 | | But this is a Bruce Willis action film entitled Die Hard 2, sub-titled Die Harder, and if I found any character development beyond Willis smoking or saying things like "you're going to pay for that," I'd keel over dead from the shock. |
 | | This is where Die Hard 2 is most different from Lethal Weapon; Lethal Weapon's screenwriter, Shane Black, at least makes an attempt to understand the motivations, pain, and personalities of the principle characters, while Die Hard 2 is content to rest its laurels on rising body counts and blowing up 747's as they take off. |
