Lethal Weapon 4 Reviews
An outstanding finale to the series, proving that some forms of overkill never get too old.
| Original Score: 8/10 | Sep 14, 2020
The weakest of the series...
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 11, 2020
After four films and countless adventures, these characters have become a family, and they've become part of ours too.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 4, 2018
If not for Jet Li, Lethal Weapon 4 would actually be worse than Lethal Weapon 3.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 12, 2012
Lethal Weapon 4 throws in everything except the kitchen sink -- and that's only if you don't count the one that's destroyed along with the rest of the Murtaugh household.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 14, 2012
With 'Lethal Weapon 4' we find the silliest and most sentimental of the bunch.
| Original Score: 5/10 | May 24, 2012
| Original Score: C | Sep 7, 2011
Hong Kong action plus buddy cop formula.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 1, 2011
Cynical and contemptuous of its audience, this lazy sequel oozes an insufferable air of self-satisfaction.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 25, 2008
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.

It matters little that the film is rife with non sequiturs, nonsense and nihilistic violence, because its heroes are so darn buoyant and charming.

You're best advised to put your head in the sand and avoid all three sequels.
| Aug 25, 2008
The very definition of a meaningless, mindless summer sequel.
| Original Score: D | Sep 24, 2007
The climactic streetfighting clash between Mel and coldly charismatic martial arts star Jet Li is a bone-crunching classic.
| Jun 24, 2006
I heard audience members yelling out, 'Rewind it -- I wanna see that again!'
| Original Score: 3/4 | May 26, 2006
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.

Offers absolutely nothing new.

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.

a flaccid, unnecessary wrap-up to a once-glorious series ...
