You didn't like Die Harder, I thought it was a great movie, it was a true sequal in that it expanded on the characters and it uped the stakes. Ex-miliatry taking over an airport, I think thats a great story!

What can I say? I just didn't like it...
Maybe by the time the third one came out, I'd stopped comparing the series to the first, still my favourite of the lot, by far. I thought maybe the second one was a bit too over the top. The snow chases, the trail of fire to the plane, explosions explosions explosions....That and the badguys weren't really that memorable to me. I can remember Hans and Simon clear as day, yet struggle to even think about those in the second film...that and I always thought it had terminator syndrome, like...the second one was fine and all, but just felt like it tried to simply out-do thr first film, which was pretty much the same deal in a different location. More hostages, more kills, more explosions...etc.
True, the third one was over the top as well, but I liked the plot/subplot a little better, at least a little more original (from the first) and Jeremy Irons was great, Jackson was a little more funny and useful than "fat cop on the radio" and McClanes burnt-out bit worked a treat.
I mean it wasn't so bad IMO that I'd never want to see it again, but definately my least favourite of the bunch, but yknow whatever, not here to try and convert anybody.
