A cheerfully amoral movie that cannily caters to and satirizes our passion for cinematic violence.

More of the same, but it's now so far removed from any sense of reality, and done with such ham-fisted insistence, it's become a clumsy parody of itself.

Manages to be highly entertaining and sanctions all its violence by making the bad guys so despicable that death seems to be the only solution.

A lethal dose of action, thrills, and comedy.

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

Aside from one good car chase, the weakest entry in the series.

Lethal Weapon 3, although the worst of all four movies, is satisfying enough not only for fans of the franchise.

The worst in the series --s till an acceptable actioner, but more calculated than it's predecessors (and successor)

The worst of the series, but the chemistry between Mel and Danny is still strong.
