The best vs. the better... I go with Die Hard 2.. the better

The original Die Hard is the best, no doubt about that. It's still close, though, between those two since Die Hard 2 is awesome as well.

The sequel is OK, but the Original is much better

Typically I like to focus on the positives of my choice rather than the weakness of the second banana. Here I must make an exception. Die Hard 2 is the sequel which should be used as the cautionary tale for all execs who want to pillage successful franchises. The only decent sequel to the iconic and game changing original Die Hard is 3. 2 and 4 are based on the preposterously dumb even for a B-Grade action pic premise that a garden variety cop like McLane could stumble into 2 more once in a lifetime capers by chance. At least Die Hard with a Vengeance does us the courtesy of explaining how McClane could possibly find himself in the same boat again. In any case Die Hard 2 is poorly written, cast, acted and has among the dumbest climactic explosions ever. While the original may seem like the same dumb fare, it is actually taut, fluid and funny and even adheres to the Aristotelian unities of time and location. Die Hard by a mile.

Die Hard is a CLASSIC. Too bad they immediately jumped the shark and had to get so crazy with the action. What made Die Hard work was the "everyman" factor. They got back to it a little with the last film (Live Free or Die Hard) but the middle two films are really too over-the-top to enjoy.

Sure win for part one. Simple action taking place in one single building with very few people involved. Works perfectly.
