Summary: 3 stars for "Lethal 3"
Review: "Lethal Weapon 3" should have been called "Lethal Weapon Lite". This film is "lite" on story and suspense which the first two films excelled at. At the same time though "Lethal 3" is a fun film. While the first two movies mixed action and drama with the comedy, this film is almost all comedy with occasional action conveniently place to keep the audience from getting too restless.

Watching this film is a lot like watching outtakes. There are many scenes which have no relation to each other. The film is filled with gags and jokes which feel like they're made up on the spot. A lot of it is fun but it just fills in where the story is weak. The plotline this time is the weakest in the series and focuses on Riggs, Murtaugh and Leo Getz trying to stop an ex-cop who has become an arms dealer.

Most of the action takes place at the end and is appropriately "Lethal Weaponish". The film is not a total loss, it's mostly good fun.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Mel Gibson + Danny Glover = Non Stop Entertainment!!!!
Review: "You have the right to remain unconscious, anything you say ain't gonna be much". My favorite line from my favorite Lethal Weapon movie, said by the great Mel Gibson. Gibson and Glover have incredible chemistry, and part 3 of this series is definitely up to par and then some! I have all 4 of the movies on DVD, but I've watched this one more times than any of the rest. I remember going and watching it at the movies back in the summer of '92, hard to believe that it's been 10 years now since this movie's release. Richard Donner is truly a master at his craft, and continues to come up with great ideas for his movies. Joe Pesci is hilarious, he is in top form in this one. His addition to the fold made a great series of movies even better. The plot of the movie is basically centered around the boys trying to bring down a former cop named Jack Travis who's gone bad, really bad. Along the way is the usual sensational action, drama, and comedy that you've come to know, love, and expect from a Letal Weapon movie. I love it, and would recommend it to anyone who loves a great movie. This is my fav out of the 4, with the other 3 being a very close 2nd. If you are looking for the total package out of an action flick, then look no further. In my opinion this one is the best of the best. If you've never seen it, watch it. If you don't own it yet, what are you waiting for?!

Summary: This weapon is NOT lethal in any way shape or form
Review: Being a big fan of the first two Lethal movies, I was really dissapointed with this one. It took the whole mood of the first two and made it into a comedy. The first two were like action-drama. Though I love Joe Pesci, he did not help this film out, nor the story, and the bad guy sucked. Worst of all, the had the coolest scene in the movie shown at the very beginning, which tells you that from then on out, the rest of the film will not be as good. I should give it 1 and a half, but the acting between Gibson and Glover fixes that.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "Which wire, Rog? Red or Blue?"
Review: For me, this Weapon is probaly one of the best in the series besides the first "Lethal Weapon!" Once again, Mel and Danny return for their roles of Riggs & Murtaugh, and yes Joe Pesci comes back as Leo Getz! Joining the cast is the very lovely Rene Russo as Lorna Cole who's character is just as nutty as Riggs (Gibson)! While trying to be a bit-more light-hearted copmpared to the first 2 films, this Weapon succeeds very excellently. With the subject dealing with armor-piercing bullets, and how they are being supplied by a crooked cop (Stuart Wilson) makes a very interseting story to watch! When I think of this theme, I remember an interview director Richard Donner gave where he mentioned that he was a member of the NRA at one point of time, but soon dropped out! Just the fact that he's speaking out against this subject with this film makes you feel really good for anyone who's just flat out against guns! It makes you think how much we're putting our life on the line when it comes to a gun! A very good Lethal alltogether!

Summary: Good action-comedy that is fun and easy to watch....
Review: Good action-comedy that is fun and easy to watch. If you seen the others and liked them then I think you will like this one too.

Background:

I am a 24 year old male engineering and computer science student living in SC. I do have a large humanities background.

Overview:

I gave this movie a 6 out of 10. I think that it is a good action-comedy packed with laughs and adventure. Right from the start the movie is bursting with good comedy and intense adventure. It is a little over the top sometimes, but if you don't mind that kind of stuff you will really enjoy some of the crazier parts. I don't think this Lethal Weapon is anywhere near as good as Lethal Weapon 4. The movie is simple, at any one time you will either be watching an action scene, or a comedy scene, or both. The plot is not much more than bad guy commits crime, cops and bad guy fight each other for over two hours, finally cops kill bad guy. But it is fun to watch especially if you don't feel up to anything complicated that night. Both Mel's and Danny's characters are starting to fell that they are getting old and are becoming a little worried that they are getting "Too old for this !@#$...". That comes to a climax in Lethal Weapon 4. Danny's character is set to retire in a week from the start of the movie. And he has a bad feeling about what kind of luck that will bring him. Too bad the "Psychic Friends Network" went bankrupt. He could have had a nice retirement job lined up... If you want to know what I mean then watch this movie sometime and you will know.

Thanks.

Summary: A waste of time, space and life.
Review: How far the mighty fell. The first film in this series was an amazing take on the tired cop genre, finally giving the world a protagonist cop who was not some boring stoic or wise-cracking good guy. Riggs was dark, disturbed and suicidal. By the third installment the whole tone of the films changed to this mindless dreck. If only one could excise the last two Lethal Weapon movies.
