Reviews for Lethal Weapon 2
Better than the first!
02/03/09
One of the finest examples of the genre, and, in my humble estimation, one of the greatest sequels put to film. Perhaps deranged hyperbole, but rarely does a follow-up outgun the original film as swiftly as Lethal 2 does.
08/26/09
Probably the best film in the series to date.
08/25/08
A film with the same off-center invention and wild energy as the original.

This is a loud, abrasive, brainless action picture liberally sprinkled with comedy, and it will probably do every bit as well at the box office as its predecessor. But it's also as lightweight, silly and raunchy as they come.
01/01/00
You may find the movie overdone, to be sure, but you'll have to admit the lead characters are endearing.

Strong, funny sequel
06/25/04
Simplistic and manipulative, but it's hard to trump the Gibson and Glover team.
12/04/02
Too jokey and cutesy. This is where the series took a wrong turn toward too much comedy, but the public didn't seem to mind.
02/17/06
The best of the series! I really liked this one. Yes, even more than the first.

A much better film than its predecessor. It's smarter, funnier and more action-packed.

If you liked Lethal Weapon, you'll like Lethal Weapon 2; it's almost as simple as that.
