""Die Hard 2: Die Harder" is a good sequel to "Die Hard", but it could have been better. There are, in my opinion, way too many spots in the movie where the story is a bit weak. The dialog also gets weak a bit. This movie is much more violent than the original. Language is also a lot more colorful than the original "Die Hard". Parents, this is not a movie for children. Bruce Willis does an excellent job in the role that made him a movie star. Most of the other actors seem like they are there just to get a paycheck. "Holly McClane" and "Dick Thornberg" were a waste of film, having "John McClane's" wife on a plane is a good reason to get him involved with the crisis, but I think "Dick Thornberg" should have been in the airport instead of the female reporter who had a role that was almost short enough to be considered a cameo. The suspense was very weak in this movie. There were some suspenseful moments, but they were too short when they would have been longer. This is a good movie, de ... "

"Both are broadly classifiable as science fiction, but Alien is basically a horror flick and Aliens has all the conventions of a war film. That’s a pretty slick transition from one type of movie to another, especially since the switch was so immediate within the series. Most movie franchises don’t play with genre in such a way until they’ve gone through a number of sequels, and even then the series usually just simply takes its characters into outer space, a la Moonraker, Jason X and Leprechaun 4. Genre jumping isn’t that easy, though, unless a franchise inhabits a whole universe in which to expand through. Like Star Wars, for example. Originally a film series, the Star Wars franchise spread out into novels, which has allowed "

"After seeing the latest in the Die Hard franchise, Live Free or Die Hard, I wanted to revisit the old movies to remember how it all began and if they were still good. As I watched, I came to the realization that the original Die Hard is the quintessential action movie. When we first meet Bruce Willis ("Planet Terror")'s John McClane, he's struggling with his marriage and his job. He's not a super hero. He just gets caught up in some extraordinary circumstances and does his best to save his wife and be a cop at the same time. Sure, he manages to pull off some amazing stunts, but Willis is easy to identify with. We feel that, maybe, if we were in the same situation, we could do it, too.And Alan Rickman ("Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix") always plays a good bad guy. In this script, he's smart. A well matched adversary to Willis' cop. Plus, there's comedy. Not too much, but just enough wise-cracking to cut the tension between the dramatic stunts. Just ... "
