>more of a Christmas movie than the first one. >gets no attention at all
It's nowhere near as good that's why
still comfy tho
It's a super comfy because it has a lot of internal consistency. It's very well-made. The way McClaine traverses the airport and the surrounding areas, how all the different characters work off each other, the snowy winter atmosphere, etc
All good points. It's a nice airport.
People love 3 because it's McTiernan kino like 1
2 is a masterpiece compared to 4 and 5
I liked it. I recently found out that people prefer 3 over it. I remember not liking 3 that much aside from the villain.
RLM should do a video on this one. Mike said he prefers it to the first one, it would make for a good episode
Agreed it deserves more attention
>Mike said he prefers it to the first one
Are you capable of having an opinion of your own? Of course not.
What does that have to do with it being a good video for them to do? Fricking moron, shut your mouth.
It's wee shite
That said, if internet was popular back then, Die Hard 2's ending would be THE PLANE SCENE of the 90s
Die Hard 2 is the worst Die Hard film by far. It was boring, lackluster and the plot was terrible.
A good day to die hard exists.
So you've never seen Die Hard 5?
Way better than the last 2.

Why do people get so caught up on the "christmas'ness" of Die Hard 1 when tons of people watch LOTR and Harry Potter around Christmas?
Die Hard 1 is a good christmas movie because it's comfy, rewatchable and has no real dull annoying parts. Making it good for annual rewatches.
Inferior rehash of the previous movie, but still very enjoyable.
If the first movie is good and this movie copies the first movie then it is also good.
For me what's crazy about it is that a Finnish man directed it, he's also got some kind of wick-like kino coming next year
>a Finnish man directed it
>Harlin was his dad's original last name
That man is swedish, his father is swede, that name is swede. this doesn't get talked about a lot because of reasons but you've never seen a finn being famous outside of finland because swedes still run/rule finland. even linus torvalds is swede
>was married to prime geena davis poon from '93-'98
yeah, he's a swede
>more of a Christmas movie
well, it takes place in an area that actually receives snow. besides that and the naked tai chi at the beginning, it really has nothing as memorable as the first one.
i personally didn't feel as much danger as being trapped with coke heads and a preggers lady on the 30th floor. flights get delayed and cancelled all the time but how often is an out of place cop taking on 12 villians with no shoes and one magazine in his pistol in an unfinished wapanese skyscraper? how often is your local policeman's car being turned into swiss cheese? REMEMBER 'NAM?!
>when's the last time you arrived 3000 miles away from home to stare at TIGHT WHITE YOGA PANTS only to be flanked by some taxi driver named 'Argyle?'
>more of a Christmas movie
That's why. People who pick Die Hard as their favorite Christmas movie are on par with the dipshits who feel the need to remind everyone they like Halloween more than Christmas. It's the choice of fat autistic atheists who reject Christ.
This is a really dumb post and I hate it.
Because you're a fat frick, right?
No, because you're moronic.
Die Hard is full of Christian themes and symbols. When Holly thinks John dies and he returns, she even shouts "Jesus". It's also extremely neoliberal and pro family. morons like yourself should embrace this stuff, but you are probably simply too moronic to grasp it.
Amazingly, this movie sucked even more than the first one.
If you want to do a thrilling plane terrorist movie, do one about those bulgarians who shut down the lights of a city to pretend it was a lake.
Die Hard 2 is cozy but it's riddled with ridiculous plot holes that defy all logic and taste, and that's coming from a man who doesn't often care about plot holes
The biggest problem with the movie is that there’s no substance even though it’s technically really well-made. The fat police chief has more depth than any other character. McClaine has no character arc, the villains have no motivation even though they’re cool. They briefly mention their plan and that’s it. It’s a major downgrade from the first movie where Gruber is the opposite of McClaine and personally develops a vendetta against him as they talk throughout the movie. The second one just goes on autopilot instead of developing any sort of meaning unlike the first and 3rd movie which have a lot of social commentary and characterization. Die Hard 2 is strictly action. It’s a thrilling movie but also an empty one.
Sophisticated anons realize that DH4 is the best.
>Why?
It's bad
>Guy on TV names his top 10 Christmas movies
>Criteria, besides being good, is that it has to be SET at Christmas time
>Includes Did Hard, Trading Places, Rocky IV...
>Says Die Hard 2 is pushing it too far in setting it at Christmas a second time
>(Gremlins was top)
i think everyone who defends 2 always forgets the action in 2 sucks ass compared to 1.
mctiernan's a god tier action director, 2's shootouts feel so generic in comparison, especially with that ugly slow motion
There's not even that much action in it it's more of a thriller
