I think I watched Die Hard 2 almost every December throughout my childhood. I vividly remember watching it on that huge '90s Trinitron in my old living room. Twenty-plus years later, it's still one of my favourite films to watch during the holidays.
John McClane (Bruce Willis) returns as our stereotypical American action hero from the late 20th century. This time, he's not hunting German terrorists; he's after former U. S. Special Forces Colonel William Stuart (William Sadler) and other former members of his unit. Colonel Stuart lacks the specific 'charm' Hans Gruber had, but he's an interesting antagonist from the very first shot. McClane's wife, Holly (Bonnie Bedelia), also returns, she's stuck on a plane with that nuisance Thornberg (William Atherton).
Most of the plot is set at Washington Dulles International Airport. The cinematography reminds me of Gremlins (1984), and I absolutely adore it. The action scenes are a joy to watch, but sometimes horrifying, like the ice shard scene. In general, the film is entertaining from the very beginning. If you're a fan of action films from this era, you'll definitely find this one enjoyable.
