Lethal Weapon 4 Reviews

I am finally about to finish this series. It's awesome how many of the actors stuck around for these films as well as director Richard Donner. I have seen one other Jonathan Lemkin written movie Shooter. It was pretty good in my opinion. Alfred Gough and Miles Millar both wrote a few well known films. Not many of them that good except Spider-Man. Channing Gibson wrote the Walking Tall remake as well as Cradle 2 the Grave. The latter of which failed. Anyways it's time to take on the final round of the series. Finally Riggs gets a permanent hairstyle change. Murtaugh will just never learn will he lol. This pyromaniac dude is actually pretty badass. Okay those explosions are on par with some Michael Bay stuff. It was pretty insane, but I actually thought it was fun. I never knew that these were vastly comedic instead of serious action movies until I started watching them. The jokes are fairly amusing of course. Jet Li's rat tail hair is bothering me. Now they have dealt with some tough enemies, but these guys have taken it to another level for sure. Damn that guy got messed up. That was a fairly fun car chase and even a bit different. Well that has to be the best way to give someone unexpected news. Aw no no no! Hey uh what about the other two kids? Okay I have to say I wasn't expecting that. Well I guess they are done playing games now. I don't see how that's possible but sure. Aw that's kind of sweet and sad. The ending was pretty adorable and cheesy. It's a much different series than I had expected, but at times it was still pretty entertaining. I wish we got to see more fighting from Jet Li, but I can't really complain with what they did give. The second one is still my favorite. This one is on par with part 3 more or less.

Since me and my step-son Nick had watched all the Lethal Weapon movies, of course, we had to watch this one as well, even though it doesn’t really have a stellar reputation. Honestly, even though it was indeed not as good as the previous installments, I was surprised about how much I actually enjoyed it and, for a 3rd sequel, it was actually quite entertaining. Of course, the story was nothing great but what really matters is that there was still this great chemistry between Mel Gibson and Danny Glover and, in this genre of the buddy cops, they remain far ahead the rest of the competition. The other neat thing is that they managed to bring back Joe Pesci and Rene Russo, albeit with a reduced running time especially for Russo, but still with a satisfying result and they managed to bring also Chris Rock and Jet Li to the party as well. It was actually Jet Li’s first American feature, he was a really cool opponent and it was quite funny to see Riggs and Murtaugh discussing the fact that they should avoid fighting with him since they are not so young anymore and the guy is just a walking killing machine. To conclude, even though the whole thing pretty much followed the same formula, it actually worked and it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
