Why is it that Die Hard 2 is the best in the series?

[Sectorseven]

Someone came up with the title "Die Harder" and thought they were really clever.

They should have called it Die Hard, Die

I love 2, and actually enjoy watching it more than 1 these days, but Alan Rickman is one of the greatest action villains of all time.

It's really simple, any Die Hard movie you pick, that's the best one :D

What is wrong with this thread?

 

[BobLoblaw]

It's by far the worst. Holy cow. 1 ,3, 4, and 2 in that order.

 

[Jovo]

Has anyone ever been more wrong about anything in life?

You'd best start believin' in troll threads...

I'm quite aware that most people don't like Renny Harlin's Die Hard, yes.
Entertaining, is a word I'd rather use. Because I do actually seek opinions on this matter.

Home Alone 3 is a pure troll option, though.

 

[BossAttack]

The airport is a great setting, I'll give you that.

 

[Alwayscrazybacon]

lol, Renny Harlin has never made a good movie.

Cliffhanger and Long Kiss Goodnight disagree.

 

[itwasTuesday]

Porcelain gun was a neat angle though.

 

[Ogami Itto]

I like it more than the first, it's more watchable for me.

 

[Tetra-Grammaton-Cleric]

The first is and will always be the best.

That said, 2 and 3 are brilliant sequels.

1 > 3 > 4 > 2 > 5

This is correct. Fuck 5 though. And the airport was a good location

 

[DrForester]

3 > 1 > 2

 

[itwasTuesday]

2 & 3 were definitely the best parts of Die Hard trilogy for psx. 2 is the light gun section & 3 is crazy taxi with murder.

 

[FF Seraphim]

Die Hard 3 is the best in the series son.

One and done

Haven't seen an OP being so wrong in years...

[TaySan]

1 is the only one worth watching.

 

[Durden]

LMFAO

Bahahahahahahah

Man, this really it a hoot of a thread. So obviously wrong for the sake of humor! Thanks for this, needed it today.

lol, Renny Harlin has never made a good movie.

I think the better question is why are you a crazy person who belongs in a dungeon?

 

[DustyVonErich]

It's not the best though.

1 has the GOAT villain and 3 has Jackson and maybe the best premise. Weak OP

 

[Doggg]

Got to give it to Die Hard 3

 

[Vilam]

Hell yes, finally someone else on the internet with some common sense. Die Hard 2 is the first R rated movie I ever saw, and I'll forever swear up and down that it's the best of the series.

It goes 2, 3, 1, ... 4, and the others don't exist.

 

[Waffles]

2 kind of bores me. I find 3 to be the most rewatchable, but 1 is the best of the bunch.

 

[M. Wallace]

Man of Steel is the worst movie ever

 

[Scrobbles]

It's not even the best Die Hard sequel

 

[Tito]

Die Hard 2 is a fun movie that gets stupider every time you watch it.

1>4>3>2 and there's no 5.

 

[Korigama]

Die Hard 2 is garbage.

That is all.

This.

There are exactly two good Die Hard movies, and Die Hard 2 sure as hell isn't one of them (it was the first example of something bad from that franchise long before Live Free or A Good Day ever happened).

Porcelain gun was a neat angle though.

The weapons consultant specifically told them that idea was nonsense during production, IIRC.

 

[degauss]

The only reason I can think of would be bad taste.

1>3———>2>4—————————>5

Maybe 4 is better than 2 too, I'd have to rewatch it, I suspect it is.

I mean it has some cool shit, it's not awful, but it had a lot of shit that makes no sense.

 

[itwasTuesday]

Eh, what the hell.

You cheeky bastard. You know that Die Hard 2 is the least popular and you still framed the thread under a narrative that everyone loves it most.

I can't tell if you're trolling or if you genuinely love it and are playfully pretending that people prefer it. You do you.

It's not that bad. I'm a little surprised to see people say "even 4 is better". That feels a bit much.

1>3>2

Yeah. This right here.

 

[Huey]

What a misguided thread! Renny Harlin is a C tier director! Give me McTiernan or give me death!

 

[evrythngwastakn]

Die Hard is legit one of the best movies.

Action? Check.
Violence? Check.
Titty? Check.
Snappy one-liners dialog? Check.
Alan Rickman A game? Check.
"Just like FUCKIN SAIGON" ? Check.
Great music, including Christmas in Holis? Check.

 

[StopMakingSense]

Watching Die Hard 3, and man, it ends so weakly with the scene in Canada for such a strong movie throughout.

 

[psynergyadept]

Ban this man!!!!

 

[MrBS]

 

[xrnzaaas]

In my (unpopular) opinion 2 and 3 are on a similar level, but they're both way behind 1.

 

[Sargerus]

Die Hard 3 is the best in the series son.

Die Hard 3 is the best Die Hard.

1 >>>>> 3 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>2>>>>>>>>>everything else

 

[Hyun Sai]

Upon rewatch, I prefer Die Hard 3 to 1, but the second opus is still good compared to the garbage we got with 4 and 5.
