For me, this is the best LW movie. It's more intense than the others but it's really funny and has great action scenes too. A+

Lethal Weapon 2 - A-
Better than the original. Some comedy is all it needed, and this film certainly has it!!!!!!!! wooo hooo - Crazy bad guy, which is tied in well with the first.

The best of the LW series. Once again Gibson and Glover play off of each other, the backdrop this time is them damn evil white south african white supremists. It also introduced us to Joe Pesci's annoying Leo Getz character
A
9.3/10

Re: Lethal Weapon 2 One of the best sequels ever. I like to think of this when the Lethal Weapon movies ended. 3+4 I consider to be kickass films as well, but they are really so different then the first 2.

Re: Lethal Weapon 2 Just rewatched it and I'm always amazed how well this movie works. Truly one of the best action movies ever.

Re: Lethal Weapon 2 This was alot funnier than the first and packs in about four times as much action. Yet I can’t say it is better. Both have the same problem of just feeling very very long. I checked the clock atleast 4 times even though I was really enjoying the film. So thats what keeps both of them at 4 stars instead of being 5 star classics. Almost everything else is gravy.
