Lethal Weapon 2 offers enough to keep fans interested and is a solid sequel but there's too much of a reliance on the action and not a good split of action/drama like the first film.

I think there were too overly long car chase scenes in the first hour of the movie and it kind of kills the pacing a bit. And the plot was a bit farfetched for my taste.

The addition of Pesci was also a major plus. He really helped add to the dynamic duo of Gibson/Glover.

Lethal Weapon 2

2 And A Half Out Of 5

Lethal Weapon 2 is not a fresh take on its previous installment and instead goes old book and somehow manages to charms its way out of it. It is very rare of a feature to deliver a better or similar sequel as the expectations always grows bigger than potential, and in here it does deliver unflinchingly but unfortunately it still doesn't suggest that it's a good feature as the bar was set low from earlier. It is short on technical aspects like sound department and editing, but its action packed choreography is something to look forward to. The script is bolder and stronger than its predecessor; despite of not being fresh, as it isn't afraid to visit places which would be least expected by the audience, especially in its last act where things go down pretty fast.

The screenplay by Jeffrey Boam is gripping as it enfolds in each phase of the act and holds the audience on the seat with a decent support from Richard Donner; the director, whose execution isn't something that stands alone but is surely effective whilst creating the anticipated impact. Mel Gibson and Donald Glover's amazing chemistry is what fuels the franchise along with a new additional character of Joe Pesci who is equally good in his portrayal.

Lethal Weapon 2 is effective for a definite amount of time when it is showing off its tricks and turns, but beyond that, it fumbles to offer anything.
