Reviews for Lethal Weapon 4
You're best advised to put your head in the sand and avoid all three sequels.
08/25/08
Mindless, sadistic violence juxtaposed with rote sentimentality: this is how Hollywood has finally solved the family-values conundrum, the question of how to entertain the blood- and sex-starved masses and be morally proactive at the same time.
08/25/08
Just another buddy movie about a pair of cops trying to get the bad guys so they can go home and relax with their loved ones.

No longer lethal, Detective Riggs is a crotchety middle-aged weapon now

I started checking my watch after forty minutes.

Pretty hideous entry into the Lethal Weapon oeuvre...
01/01/00
There's all kinds of quirks and tidbits that are worth smiling at, but nothing like the original movies, really.
01/01/00
Gag sequences run on too long, some character scenes end too abruptly, and most of the action is completely redundant.
01/01/00
All icing, no cake.
01/01/00
No, it's not very exciting. And that's the film's big flaw.

a flaccid, unnecessary wrap-up to a once-glorious series ...
07/01/03
...in their 'bigger and louder is better' zeal, he[Donner] and series co-creator Shane Black have all but forgotten how to tell a coherent story and create sympathetic characters.
01/01/00
There's no plot worth describing, no repartee wittier than 'Oh shut up,' no acting moments that rise above the level of posing.

Top CriticThe relationship/humour stuff in Lethal Weapon 4 is pretty much excruciating, mawkish and inane... The second part of Lethal Weapon 044,the action sequences, are much better.

Top CriticNo review available.
01/01/00
Cynical and contemptuous of its audience, this lazy sequel oozes an insufferable air of self-satisfaction.
08/25/08
Not only is the franchise growing hoary, by now it's become downright laughable, leaving Lethal Weapon 4 feeling more like a bad Fox sitcom than anything else.
