Reviews for Lethal Weapon 3
More of the same, but it's now so far removed from any sense of reality, and done with such ham-fisted insistence, it's become a clumsy parody of itself.
A cheerfully amoral movie that cannily caters to and satirizes our passion for cinematic violence.
When you have actors of the caliber of Glover and Gibson doing this, it's bound to boost things a notch or two.
If there's an original moment in this movie, producer Joel Silver and director Richard Donner sincerely apologize.
Lethal Weapon 3, although the worst of all four movies, is satisfying enough not only for fans of the franchise.
What this sequel delivers is still the kind of high-speed roller-coaster action that producer Joel Silver's films often do so well.
Yes, there is a shot of Mel Gibson's bum, and, no, director-producer Richard Donner still hasn't learned the first thing about directing action so that it has any coherence or beauty.
