Lethal Weapon 3

Gibson and Glover never have been more at ease. Their camaraderie and complementing comic styles grow increasingly engaging. There's too little of peroxide-dipped, gold earring-plated Pesci, who takes Lethal Weapon 3 to a higher comic plane whenever he's present. [15 May 1992, p.5]

What this sequel delivers is still the kind of high-speed roller-coaster action that producer Joel Silver's films often do so well.

Lethal Weapon 3 isn't that much worse than the two earlier films.

It's better than 2, but not nearly as good as 1. On the slippery slope of sequel-land, that's an okay average. [15 May 1992]

It's bigger, but it ain't necessarily better.

Lethal Weapon 3 is a big, dumb, noisy, comic strip of a movie that begins and ends in flames.

Lethal Weapon 3 offers mediocrity wielded by experts. It's not a movie, it's a machine.

Disappointing It still has strong performances and fun action, But Lethal Weapon has caught sequelitis.

Strong performances by the cast despite a disappointing lack of Pesci but the plot is very forgettable and it lacks the spark that made the first film so good.

Lethal Weapon 3 is easily the weakest in the franchise. It's not a terrible movie; there are some decent laughs to be had and some passable action but nothing to match the highs of the first two films. Ultimately, Lethal Weapon 3 is a bit disappointing.

either non-working or all out of ammo.. Lethal Weapon 3 1 And A Half Out Of 5 Lethal Weapon 3 seems an unnecessary installment in the franchise; a decision taken carelessly with nothing but box office in mind but frankly that audience is much smarter that "good cop bad cop" routine. The humor is added in here to lighten things up but it is added forcibly with an amateur editing on its side, directing the whole franchise towards the commercial cinema where the big explosives brings big bucks at the cost quality. There isn't a single piece of art to explore in here for there is too much of everything and no amount of nothing; it is lighter on material no matter how crispy. It falls flat on face in its technical aspects like sound department, choreography and editing. One of the main reason it doesn't work is because it lacks a better threat (the antagonist is undercooked in here) to project the appropriate stake to the audience. The screenplay by Jeffrey Boam is hefty on the failed attempts, for it never actually reaches to that scale and addition to that, Richard Donner; the director, seems to be losing its touch with the execution of it. The performance is still up to the mark by the duo Mel Gibson and Donald Glover in their parallel role and Joe Pesci as a supportive cast. Lethal Weapon 3 is either non-working or all out of ammo as it sweats behind the screen to hold the audience for its runtime let along bedazzle them.
