Lethal Weapon made in 1987 was great, however my best Lethal Weapon film is Lethal Weapon 2 as it's just as good if not better than the original. The third installment was okayish but not great and then in 1998 we were in for a shockwave asLethal Weapon made in 1987 was great, however my best Lethal Weapon film is Lethal Weapon 2 as it's just as good if not better than the original. The third installment was okayish but not great and then in 1998 we were in for a shockwave as Lethal Weapon 4 dropped on our heads like bird droppings from a great height lol.... LETHAL WEAPON 4 is directed by the same director who made the other Lethal Weapon films. Danny Glover and Mel Gibson are back to stop some Chinese dude in the form of Jet Li who's the villain, joined once again by Rene Russo and Joe Pesci. .. Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, Rene Russo and Joe Pesci battle hard to stop Jet Li who's a terrible villain but the fight scenes in this movie are impressive. The car chase scenes however are not impressive and Chris Rock joins Lethal Weapon 4 as some black, loud mouthed and annoying dude. Lethal Weapon 4 is poor in terms of storyline and most of the characters are unlikeable apart from Danny Glover and Mel Gibson and the profanity and swearing is way over the top. Bad action scenes and bland characters make Lethal Weapon 4 a stinker of a bad movie and a stinker of a sequel. Bad in every way. Expand

Please, Warner Brothers, let's not have any more of this claptrap, and if you must make #5, knock off the Joe Pesci character while the credits are rolling. He is absolutely horrible.

Lethal Weapon 4

1 And A Half Out Of 5

Lethal Weapon 4 is another advancement on the partner-in-crime's chapter, that neither helps evolve the characters nor the makers from its rigid bubble. The rudimentary process and the urge to leave the scene or cut to next scene with either a bang or a punch line that defies logic and practicality, pretty much gives it away within its first few minutes where the feature may lie. The franchise still hasn't solved its antagonist problem, for it never oozes threat as it should nor does it projects the stake at risk; it's all possible, it's all easy with a tougher sacrificial routine. It is again low on its technical aspects like choreography, sound department and editing. The screenplay by Channing Gibson is actually a mixology of all the spicy ingredients extracted from the commercially successful feature, adding it up and waiting for the outcome which too in here isn't handled well by Richard Donner; the director, as usual is short on executing the script addition to that it also failed to project the brotherhood that was present in the previous installments. The performance by Mel Gibson seems a bit derailed whilst Donald Glover seems to be focused with a humorous supporting cast like Joe Pesci and Chris Rock. Lethal Weapon 4 is every bit of a misguided mishap as its predecessor and more for it sucks out the soul from it.

Besides being a springboard for Jet Li's Hollywood career (for good or ill, depending on your view), this film is just a forgettable, uneventful money-grab. The cuts between Gibson and his bad-wig-wearing stunt-double are some of the mostBesides being a springboard for Jet Li's Hollywood career (for good or ill, depending on your view), this film is just a forgettable, uneventful money-grab. The cuts between Gibson and his bad-wig-wearing stunt-double are some of the most unconvincing I've ever seen in a big-budget picture. But that stands as a great analogy for the entire film... slap shod, sloppy and unconvincing malarkey. Expand
