Starring: Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, Joe Pesci, Derrick O'Connor
Director: Richard Donner
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.
Better than the first!
Returning director Richard Donner seems to have smoothed over the few stylistic rough edges remaining from the earlier film to deliver here two hours of pure, breathless, high-impact entertainment.
Probably the best film in the series to date.
Loaded with the usual elements, Lethal Weapon 2 benefits from a consistency of tone that was lacking in the first film.
Top CriticKick ass sequel
You may find the movie overdone, to be sure, but you'll have to admit the lead characters are endearing.
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.
By concentrating on the often frustrating, funny relationship between the three men, the film gains in humour but loses some of the momentum and panache which distinguished the original.

Strong, funny sequel

Despite problems with poor characterization and weak plot, Lethal Weapon 2 nevertheless provides a satisfying combination of male bonding, action and humor...
