Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
Because Die Hard 2 is so skillfully constructed and well-directed, it develops a momentum that carries it past several credibility gaps that might have capsized a lesser film.

ReelViews - James Berardinelli
It's not as crisply directed, and the plot holes are easier to find, but Die Hard 2 is filled with the same sense of good-natured, wisecracking fun that infused the original.
80
Washington Post - Rita Kempley
It's rambunctiously entertaining, a loop-de-loopy bumper car ride through a firecracker sky, all bright lights, sonic booms and impossible heroics.
75
Chicago Tribune - Dave Kehr
A smart, spectacular and rousing piece of work, one that strains against but can't quite escape the natural limitations imposed by a sequel. [4 July 1990, p.C1]
70
Variety - Unnamed
Die Hard 2 lacks the inventivenes of the original but compensates with relentless action.
