Roger Ebert

There are elements in the movie that make it worth seeing, and that set it aside from the routine movies in this genre. Read full review

What this sequel delivers is still the kind of high-speed roller-coaster action that producer Joel Silver's films often do so well. Read full review

Brian Lowry

Lethal Weapon 3 is all about chases and comedy schtick, and in this case the sum of the parts really adds up to more than the whole. Read full review

Jay Boyar

LW3 features a lot of violence but not nearly as much as there was in LW2. And Part 3 puts a greater emphasis on the relationships among the characters. [15 May 1992, p.18]

Jeff Shannon

This colossus may be mechanized, but it's gloriously efficient. The stakes get higher with each installment, and Donner knows how to corral the show-stopping mayhem into a polished, antiseptically entertaining package. [15 May 1992, p.3]

Mick LaSalle

A nonstop action picture with a fair amount of laughs, car chases and exploding buildings. [15 May 1992]

Hal Lipper

Gibson and Glover never have been more at ease. Their camaraderie and complementing comic styles grow increasingly engaging. There's too little of peroxide-dipped, gold earring-plated Pesci, who takes Lethal Weapon 3 to a higher comic plane whenever he's present. [15 May 1992, p.5]
