Nothing could ever beat the original but ***Die Harder*** is a great follow up and it's better than your average action movie for sure. It's a little less of a Christmas movie but there's a ton of snow. The stakes are higher this time, there's a lot more lives on the line including McClane's wife, which make McClane more desperate in a way and that's interesting.

They once again created some interesting new characters and storylines, I even liked Holly's storyline on the plane. John Amos as Major Grant was a standout as well and even Dennis Franz as Capt. Lorenzo. The villains aren't nearly as memorable as Alan Rickman and his gang but they're compelling nonetheless.

The action sequences are just as good as the first. The original had a lot of quiet moments in between the action sequences, well not this one, i'd say there's more action overall. More guns, more explosions, satisfying bloody kills, some of the best Ski-Doo chase sequences i've seen and lots of funny one-liners just like the first. Despite the long runtime it breezed by. Epic finale!
