Cynical and contemptuous of its audience, this lazy sequel oozes an insufferable air of self-satisfaction.
08/25/08
Mindless, sadistic violence juxtaposed with rote sentimentality: this is how Hollywood has finally solved the family-values conundrum, the question of how to entertain the blood- and sex-starved masses and be morally proactive at the same time.
08/25/08
Top CriticIt matters little that the film is rife with non sequiturs, nonsense and nihilistic violence, because its heroes are so darn buoyant and charming.
08/25/08
Top CriticYou're best advised to put your head in the sand and avoid all three sequels.
08/25/08
Top Critica fine ending
03/11/08
The very definition of a meaningless, mindless summer sequel.
09/24/07
The climactic streetfighting clash between Mel and coldly charismatic martial arts star Jet Li is a bone-crunching classic.
06/24/06
I heard audience members yelling out, 'Rewind it -- I wanna see that again!'
05/26/06
A moderately entertaining entry in an overrated series that sorely lacks the hard-edged toughness director Walter Hill brought to his two superior 48 HRS films.
03/04/06
The best part is that I can now finally watch Jet Li leave wacky Jackie in the dust.
12/06/05
Offers absolutely nothing new.
04/09/05
The surreal opening scene, featuring an armor-clad flamethrower-brandishing villain, is a clear indicator that few things in this film should be taken seriously.
03/10/04
a flaccid, unnecessary wrap-up to a once-glorious series ...
07/01/03
No, it's not very exciting. And that's the film's big flaw.
05/22/03
Fourth time's the charm for the Lethal Weapon series; I say case closed and let's go out on a high note.
05/14/03
The bad guy plot is dull and tiresome; the real charm of the film lies in its comedic elements and character relationships.
02/08/03
Let me just say, Jet Li ROCKS in the kind of American debut Jackie Chan or Chow Yun-Fat would have killed for.
