Lethal Weapon 3 Audience Reviews

Steineded How sad is this?
Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Leofwine_draca LETHAL WEAPON 3 suffers from being the weakest film in the series, but that's really only because the other three are so good that they make this one inferior by comparison. It still marks a hugely entertaining piece of Hollywood entertainment, slicker than the first two with more of a '90s vibe, but plenty of incident to see it through.This time around, Riggs and Murtaugh are on the trail of a former cop and gun runner. There are big explosive set-pieces, lots of humour at the expensive of our heroes, and a little male bonding. I don't like Rene Russo much and she gets a lot of screen time as a tough internal affairs cop who is supposed to be some real bad ass, although that didn't convince me. Stuart Wilson's villain is also quite weak and lacking in presence.The good news is that Joe Pesci is back and as funny as ever, livening things up whenever he appears. Gibson and Glover are both as sharp as ever and have settled well into their roles without ever feeling that they're phoning it in; they both work hard to bring a lot of energy to their parts. The film is well directed with some solid action scenes that have a John Woo vibe to them with lots of large-scale shoot-outs; the subway bit and the burning climax are real highlights here.
bkoganbing Our Rover Boys Mel Gibson and Danny Glover are riding high again. They both lose their sergeant's stripes again over their recklessness, but when they stop an armored car heist and take a prisoner, they uncover a really nasty smuggling and arms dealing racket masterminded by a cop who just went over the hill.According to LAPD's Internal Affairs Stuart Wilson racked up more complaints than about any cop on record, he was effective but reckless and brutal. Wilson just one day on a stakeout went over the hill, left after saying he was going for coffee. Just went over the bad guys, Job abandonment reaches a new high.In fact Wilson is one of the slimiest villains ever in the history of cinema. The seriousness of this guy is almost jarringly out of place with Legal Weapon style hijinks.Mel Gibson gets a surprise in that Rene Russo whom he initially thought was an uptight IA cop turns out to be the woman he's been waiting for since his wife died. The girl has some moves.One small performance you should note, that of Jason Rainwater of a young idealistic cop who tags after Gibson and Glover and gets killed in the fight with Wilson and his crew. A touching death scene that will bring a tear to the eye.
namashi_1 The Third Film in the Lethal Weapon Series, 'Lethal Weapon 3' is Pure Fun! A Fantastic Entertainer, the benefits from a Crisp Screenplay & Impeccable Performances by its Screen-Heroes. 'Lethal Weapon 3' Synopsis: Martin Riggs and Roger Murtaugh pursue an arms dealer who is a former LAPD officer.I have seen all the Lethal Weapons, all 4 of them & I have enjoyed each of them. In my opinion, this 4-part Buddy-Cop Series are amongst the best moments from Hollywood History.'Lethal Weapon' is crisply Written by Jeffrey Boam & Robert Mark Kamen. Its engaging all through. Richard Donner's Direction is top-class. Cinematography is eye-filling. Editing is well-done. Action-Sequences are outstanding. Performance-Wise: Mel Gibson & Danny Glover are impeccable. As Riggs & Rog, both of the supremely talented actors are a joy to watch. Their On-Screen chemistry, is amazing. Rene Russo is perfect. Joe Pesci provides comic relief. Stuart Wilson is effective as the menace.On the whole, 'Lethal Weapon 3' is vintage entertainment at its best!
jcbutthead86 Lethal Weapon 3 is Action-packed and entertaining sequel to the first two Lethal Weapon's that is filled great direction,amazing Action,wonderful cast and a memorable score. Although it's not as good as the first two Lethal Weapon 3 is still a wonderful sequel.Lethal Weapon 3 sees Riggs(Mel Gibson)and Murtaugh(Danny Glover)back once again now having to deal with Jack Travers(Stuart Wilson)a former L.A.P.D cop turned arms dealer. Now with the help Leo Getz(Joe Pesci)and Internal Affairs cop Sgt. Lorna Cole(Rene Russo),Riggs and Murtaugh look to take down Jack Travers at all costs.Lethal Weapon 3 is fantastic Action film that I always liked since seeing it in 1992/93 especially after loving the first two Lethal Weapons. I can see why some people wouldn't like this one as much as the first two because the first two Lethal Weapon's set the bar so high for Action how do you top those two and where do you go with the franchise. The story for Lethal Weapon 3 Isn't groundbreaking or original by any stretch of the imagination because LW3 follows the same formula of the first two films:the hilarious Adventures of Riggs and Murtuagh,lots of Action,a memorable villain and lots of explosions and thrills to satisfy the viewer. With some franchises or film series there is a formula that works and when something works you just don't change it. The film has a great barrel of laughs and humor which is first shown in the beginning of the film which pretty starts off with a big giant bang. It's a great opening that will have you laughing your head off. The characters and the terrific offbeat personalities of Riggs,Murtaugh,Leo and Lorna Cole brings laughs and hilarious dialog just like the second one. While LW3 is a funny film it is also a very emotional film especially with the examination about guns and gang violence and how gang violence or the possession of guns can lead to death. LW3 is also an examination of the great characters of Riggs and Murtaugh and how Murtaugh wants to retire and how it affects Riggs and the relationship he has with Murtaugh while Murtaugh is getting older and wants to retire. This film shows viewers that Riggs and Murtaugh's partnership and relationship is more complex than we thought. What I also love about the film is the addition of the character Lorna Cole as Riggs' love interest because in many respects Lorna is the female version of Riggs like Riggs she loves The Three Stooges,Action and Lorna could be slightly insane like Riggs and that is one of the reasons this film as flawed as it is works because of the chemistry between these two characters and that both characters are pretty much on an even keel when compared to each other. This movie like the other LW films moves at a fast pace and it never slows down once the Action starts and once the Action starts there's non-stop thrills and excitement. The LW films have always been known for great villains and Jack Travis is a great villain because this time instead of being a villain from another country or from the army,Travis is a former cop who is now an arms dealer selling guns and armor piercing bullets that can and will kill cops in a heartbeat and in some ways that make Jack Travers dangerous to not only Riggs and Murtaugh but other cops as well even though he's not as intimidating as the villains in LW1,2 or 4. The Action scenes in this film are great and intense and make the film more suspenseful and insane with great shootouts,explosions and fires all around giving the film a powerful rush. The final 20-30 minutes like the other LW films are great and Action filled and also look at the film and look for the scene after the credits the scene will have you roaring in laughter.The cast does great jobs in their roles. Mel Gibson and Danny Glover are brilliant once again as Riggs and Murtaugh bringing the same intensity,laughs and chemistry as in the first two. Joe Pesci is fantastic and hilarious once again as fast talking Leo Getz. Rene Russo is great,tough and sexy as Sgt. Lorna Cole,Riggs' love interest. Stuart Wilson does a wonderful job as Jack Travis,the villain of the film. Steve Kahan(Capt. Murphy),Mary Ellen Trainer(Stephanie Woods,Psychachirst),Darlene Love(Trish Murtaugh),Traci Wolfe(Rianne Murtaugh),Damon Hines(Nick Murtaugh),Ebonie Smith(Carrie Murtaugh),Gregory Miller(Tyrone)and Jason Meshover-Lorg(Young Cop)giver go performances as well.The direction by Richard Donner is excellent,with Donner always moving the camera and using great angles while also doing well in the Action scenes. Great direction by Donner.The score by Eric Clapton and Michael Kamen is effective and intense and goes well with the film. Another great score by Clapton and Kamen. There is also great songs by Sting with Eric Clapton(It's Probably Me),Elton John and Eric Clapton(Runaway Train)and Boyz II Men(It's So Hard To Say Goodbye). Great songs.In final word,if you love Action films or the Lethal Weapon franchise,I highly suggest you see Lethal Weapon 3,a Action-packed,funny and entertaining sequel that's not as good as the first two but you watch again and again with the rest of the series. Highly Recommended. 9.5/10.
