Christmas Harder
Die Hard 2- is actually a good movie, has good action, good plot and of course Bruce Willis. As with the first film, the action in Die Hard 2 takes place on Christmas Eve.
The Plot: A year after his heroics in L.A, detective John McClane (Bruce Willis) is mixed up in another terrorist plot, this time at Washington Dulles International Airport, where he is waiting for his wife (Bonnie Bedelia). That same night, South American politico and drug profiteer Ramon Esperanza (Franco Nero) is arriving in U.S. custody. McClane takes action when a treasonous ex-colonel (William Sadler) seizes control of the airport, threatening to crash every inbound flight unless Esperanza is freed.
A good christmas movie to watch with the whole family.

I don't care what people said about the movie, I liked it. Ben Affleck nailed his role as Bruce Wayne/Batman.

I can still remember how excited I got at the end of Split when Bruce Willis surprisingly appeared on screen as his character from Unbreakable, for it was at that moment I knew we now had a trilogy on our hands. Glass was a perfect third edition and I walked out with a huge smile on my face.

The first - and, for my money, the best - of the Christopher Nolan Dark Knight trilogy starring Christian Bale, taking Bruce Wayne back to his early days as Batman (and, indeed, keeping him out of costume for the entirety of the first hour).
This is largely set in a more realistic depiction of Gotham than any of the previous big-screen outings for the character, showing the evolution of the suit and with the Batmobile replaced by the tank-like Tumbler. It also - perhaps wisely, in order to keep the focus on Bruce Wayne/Batman - does not involve any of his more famous foes: instead of the Joker, or Penguin, or Riddler, the main villain(s) here - while still drawn from Bat lore - are more than likely to be less familiar to the average viewer.

Hmmm .... This opens with The Hulk / Bruce Banner exiled from Earth on a space-craft that is meant to deposit him on a remote and uninhabited planet, before that craft is pulled off-course and through a mysterious wormhole (are there any other kinds?) to a distant - and inhabited - planet.
What follows is, essentially, an off-world retelling of Spartacus, with The Hulk first captured by Imperials, sent to fight in the Arena's, then escaping and leading a revolt (even if, unlike Spartacus this one is successful).
Yes, it has plenty of explosions and battles, but (I hate to say), the entire thing is somewhat bland; never really drawing me in to the story and with no real hook - this is also, very much, a story of The Hulk rather than of Bruce Banner.
