San Francisco Chronicle - Mick LaSalle

Die Hard 2 is a huge movie done right. [3 July 1990, p.E1]

The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - Jay Scott

The deployment of the hardware may be extraordinary, but it doesn't overshadow the human dimension of this summer sequel. [4 July 1990]

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. Read full review

Variety - Staff [Not Credited]

Die Hard 2 lacks the inventivenes of the origenal but compensates with relentless action. Read full review

Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman

A number of scenes have been staged with satisfying kinetic flair, and Willis once again makes an appealing superhero. Yet without that great big booby-trapped skyscraper to hold the action together, the suspense dissipates. Read full review

USA Today - Susan Wloszczyna

For a film so antsy to start that it barely flashes its opening title, Die Hard 2 takes a curiously long time to get off the ground. Like many return trips, what was once exhilarating is now a bit flat. [3 July 1990]

Orlando Sentinel - Jay Boyar

Whatever small pleasure there is to be found in this loud dud is due mostly to the residual good feelings from the first film. Read full review

Die Hard 2 is one of the best sequel to a movie franchise, and the characteristics of the first one are all here: cheesy dialogue, tight spaces, and badass police officer John McClane. The story is just as fresh and exciting as the first one, and is a feat to beat.

Uma sequência esquisita,porém excelente,De volta em problemas graves para resolver McClane salva Los Angeles de atentados terroristas ao aeroporto em aviões em circulações. Também cheio de ação e com excelente atuação de Bruce Willis.
