Mr. Beans R Second in the franchise not as good as the first, this time the action takes place at an airport, still a fun watch Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/21/24 Full Review Gareth v While they have ramped up the action sequences here, it lacks the claustrophobic setting of the original movie that helped make it an instant classic. Still an entertaining movie and one worth checking out. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/21/24 Full Review Eye C Call me crazy but I think that this could be greater than the first one, and don’t get me wrong the first one is a masterpiece of the action cinema but this one has more intensity, I don’t know both are great movies. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/10/24 Full Review John D The plot is so over-the-top that it becomes a parody of an action film. Absolutely nothing makes any sense, Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/08/24 Full Review Jonathan H Still a fun Die Hard film but nowhere near as exciting as the first one. Very bleak, dark and ugly looking by contrast. Bruce is still great; full of energy and chaos. The villains were a little over the top and campy. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/05/24 Full Review Jay W "Die Hard" may seem like a movie primed for a sequel. It was an awesome 80's action movie with a great character in the lead. And most importantly for the studio, the movie was a big box-office hit, so why not make a franchise out of this property? The problem is inherent in the set up. John McClain is the reluctant hero; he is simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. He is just a cop, not a superhero. He is not the person that the government turns to when a super villain calls. So, what do you do? You have him in the wrong place at the wrong time...again. This film is very much, Die Hard...again. Not that it is necessarily a bad thing, it is just underwhelming. The movie is not as tightly written as the first. As they cut to the other side stories in this film, you do find yourself just suffering through the scenes to get to the main plot. There are some plot points that just don't make sense. The villain isn't as memorable as the first film. I just finished the film, and I still can't remember his name. Was it Mr. Falcon? But, on the positive side, John McClain is still a great every man. Bruce Willis does a great job in the role, making more than just an impression of the character, but making him feel like the character has grown and progressed since the last time we saw him. The action still feels very visceral, and more grounded than the over-the-top action of other franchises. It may not be one of the all-time great action movies of all time, like the first one, but it is still a good one. I admire that the film does Try Hard.
