Movie Reviews of Lethal Weapon 2
Movie Review: Lethal Carnage
Summary: 4 Stars
The engaging chemistry of Mel Gibson (Martin Riggs) and Danny Glover (Roger Murtaugh) continues into LETHAL WEAPON 2 as they take on a South African drug kingpin, Arjen Rudd(Joss Ackland). He also happens to be a South African diplomat with immunity to any type of persecution. So, Riggs and Murtaugh harrass him and his henchmen, playing a lethal cat and mouse game of picking off each other from both sides. A key witness Leo Getz (Joe Pesci) stands in the middle of all the carnage and the carnage mounts. Practically everyone from Riggs' and Murtaugh's precinct (detectives, officers and what have you) are eliminated... even the female lead/love interest to Riggs-(Patty Kensit) is oft in the proceedings. It seems the only ones left alive are Riggs and Murtaugh (it was reported that Shane Black's original screenplay was to have Riggs killed at the end) to take on the South African drug cartell. Even with the body count, the film is very entertaining due to Gibson and Glover's characters, a witty script, and the direction of Richard Donner (SUPERMAN-THE MOVIE, THE OMEN) who seems to have a fond affection for the two characters since he's directed all four films. The film franchise probably "perfected" (not invented)the buddy cop genre (forerunners: SUPERCOPS, FREEBIE AND THE BEAN, RUNNING SCARED) and is the "yardstick" for others that haven't come close (i.e. TANGO AND CASH...?). Lastly as the final credits roll in LW2, George Harrison's great song CHEER DOWN plays. Perhaps because guitar god/legend Eric Clapton did part of the muscial score for the film, he got pal Harrison to contribute the song. The song sounds very much like a James Bond-type tune and perhaps was inspired by the nature of the film. When the film is shown on network televison, its too bad the song is always drowned out by programming or commercial announcements (notoriously and especially on TNT and TBS). On cable, DVD, and video, the song can be heard in its entirety.Movie Review: JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT THIS WEAPON COULDNT GET ANY MORE LETHALER
Summary: 4 Stars
mel gibson is back with more laughs before he went all nutty and jew hating in his later work...this marks the great re-teamup of gibson and sam jackson as the lethal duo with lethal weapons doing stuff that is..well, lethal! like holding guns and mean muggin for the camera. great parts include gibson being "cracy" and jackson being "too old for this crap" except he doesnt really say crap if you get what i am saying, nudge nudge wink wink. i also like the part where this big red "2" comes out of no where. THEY DONT MAKE SURPRISE ENDING LIKE THAT ANYMORE!!! this movie makes rush hour 2 look like lethal weapon 4Movie Review: more fun and mayhem with Mel Gibson and Danny Glover(and Joe Pesci)
Summary: 4 Stars
to me,this is a better movie than the first one.it's got much more
action,it's more exciting,and faster paced.it's also funnier.the
characters are better defined,and the storyline is better.i also think
this movie had a better villain than the first.this time,along with
Danny Glover and Mel Gibson,Joe Pesci is along for the ride,and
provides some laughs.also,there is more banter between Gibson and
Glover.the movie is just more compelling all around.the first one was a
bit slow at times,but not so with this one.for me,Lethal Weapon 2 is a
3.5/5
Movie Review: MIGHT POSSIBLY BE BETTER THAN THE FIRST!
Summary: 4 Stars
THIS TIME, RIGGS AND MURTAUGH RETURN TO FACE SOUTH AFRICAN DRUG RUNNERS WHO HIDE BEHIND DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY. THIS MOVIE, LIKE THE FIRST, HAS GREAT ACTION, GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR, AND GREAT PLOT. AND THIS MOVIE JUST MIGHT BE EVEN MORE ENTERTAINING THAN THE FIRST! WHICH IS VERY RARE IN MOVIES. JOE PESCI IS GREAT AS LEO GETZ, THE MAN THAT RIGGS AND MURTAUGH ARE ASSIGNED TO WATCH OVER SINCE HE'S TESTIFYING AGAINST THE DRUG RUNNERS. THIS MOVIE IS TOO GOOD TO MISS. IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET OR IF YOU HAVEN'T BOUGHT IT YET, I'D ADVISE YOU TO DO SO. YOU'LL DEFINITELY GET YOUR MONEY'S WORTH.Movie Review: Just as Lethal as the original.
Summary: 4 Stars
Letahl Weapon 2 delivers action/comedy packed in 2 hours that it
stands well in the test of time dept. This time around the boys are up against crooked burrecrats from South Africa hiding behind "Diplomatic Immunity" to Bring in shipment of heroin. And
at the same time babysiting a loudmouth witness for the state.
Mel Gibson is more lethal then ever. A lot of action try to copy the moves, gunfire and it never seems to pay as well as it did in
the Lethal Weapon series
