You won't be disappointed!

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Lethal Weapon 31 And A Half Out Of 5Lethal 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.

The first 'Lethal Weapon' wasn't perfect, but it is still a very good film and important to the development of the buddy-cop film as well as being one of the best examples. Its first sequel is almost as good, if just missing out on being on the same level or surpassing it.'Lethal Weapon 3' is fun enough, and there is plenty to enjoy, but after the impressive first two films it was somewhat of a let-down. It didn't feel as fresh and had a ran out of ideas feel sometimes. Its weak link is the story, which does have some exciting moments and some good scenes but the first two films were much more focused and tight in plotting, here the story does meander in places and parts drag. Some of the dialogue is a lot of fun, some of it is repetitive and convoluted with a little too much emphasis at times on humour.After being such a delight in the second film, Joe Pesci returns and one was hoping he would be a welcome presence. Sadly count me in as one of the people who found him underused, his character merely being a plot device and Pesci being irritating this time round (the first time ever he's had that effect on me). Was mixed on the villain, Stuart Wilson does enjoy himself immensely and does bring a sinister edge to easily the best acted head villain in comparison to the first two films where the henchmen were more memorable and better played. The character himself was a little sketchy in development however and he could have been used more.However, the way 'Lethal Weapon 3' is shot and designed screams slick and stylish while Richard Donner once again directs with an assured hand. The score is atmospheric and groovy.Parts of the script doe entertain hugely and crackle in wit and tension.Once again, the action is slick and bursts with excitement and tension, with terrific stunts and the sheer scale of them being worthy of huge admiration. It is very easy to see why the chalk and cheese chemistry of the polar opposite characters of Riggs and Murtaugh became so popular, very rarely in a buddy-cop film has this kind of chemistry been so entertaining and perfectly pitched.Mel Gibson continues to excel in a performance as witty and intense has before. Danny Glover gives Murtaugh the right amount of spirit, subtlety and no-nonsense attitude. Rene Russo brings some much needed freshness and gives a strong performance.In summary, fun but the magic is not quite there for me. Not one of the best sequels there is, but hardly a disgrace and nowhere near among the worst. 6/10 Bethany Cox

Has any movie franchise sunk as far and as rapidly as the Lethal Weapon series did with Part 3? The original film and its first sequel always had an element of comedy to go with the gritty action, but in this third instalment the humour is brought to the fore (and the nastiness toned down); the result is absolutely cringe-worthy, as tough cops Riggs and Murtaugh (Mel Gibson and Danny Glover) are regularly turned into incompetent clowns for the amusement of a younger demographic.From the opening scene in which Riggs stupidly attempts to diffuse a bomb with disastrous results, to the end credits sequence in which Riggs, clearly having not learnt his lesson, considers diffusing yet another bomb, Lethal Weapon 3 is an embarrassment to the action genre. Jeffery Boam, who did such a good job with Part 2, completely screws up here, his plot being predictable and dull and the characters frequently acting against type just for laughs. Worse still, Boam brings back shifty Leo Getz (Joe Pesci), making him even more obnoxious and irritating than before.Once again, Riggs is given a love interest—internal affairs cop Lorna Cole (Rene Russo)—but this chapter being a tamer affair aimed at the whole family, she doesn't get a sex scene (thankfully sparing the viewer yet another Mel Gibson ass shot) and doesn't wind up swimming with the fishes like poor old Patsy Kensit's Rika; instead, Lorna joins in with the crime-fighting fun, proving to be as handy with her fists and guns as the guys. All of this nonsense is accompanied by the series' terrible signature sax and guitar score, which only goes to make matters even more intolerable.

."Lethal Weapon 3" truly defines where enough is enough. There really was no need for a forth instalment. Sure this is probably hands down one of the most exciting series ever in cinematic history, but by the time it came to "Lethal Weapon 4", it just fizzled into self-parody. "Lethal Weapon 3" provided lots of exciting action, even some tender moments and the best teamwork Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson) and Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover) had ever accomplished in the series. Once the forth part of the series comes into fruition, we lose everything that Martin Riggs represented in the whole series. Even his Samson like mane is cropped off which made him look like a man who's aged quite rapidly and even his quick-wit and charm was absent there too.As for the principal antagonist I would like to say that I like the performance of Stuart Wilson as ex-cop Jack Travis. He's at an equal as the wild-eyed Riggs and he was more convincing than Jet Li's villain character in "Lethal Weapon 4". Sure Li was a very fierce villain in #4, but still there was a lack of a compelling development like all the other bad guys from the other "Lethal Weapons" from the past. I thought that it was so sweet that that they added tough, but pretty internal affairs agent Lorna Cole (Rene Russo) into the cast and the relationship between her Riggs was so refreshing to the story. Sadly the chemistry was absent in "Lethal Weapon 4". Besides in the forth instalment Russo was in very few scenes and was not deemed an important character in the story like she was in number three. And I thought it was cool that a female counterpart to Riggs is just as equally bonkers as him.Joe Pesci is back here as the lovable, but obnoxious Leo Getz, and though he provides a chunk of the laughs in this action comedy, he really starts to become annoying after awhile like flies in summertime. The real tender moment in the forth of the series was Leo's mourning of his dead frog But in "Lethal Weapon 3" the sentimental scene is much more serious when Murtaugh inadvertently kills an adolescent who happens to be friends of his son (apologies to all frog lovers out there). When it comes to the funniest scenes, it was really hilarious when Riggs tries to befriend a cunning guard dog and acting like the dog. I'll choose that over the cheesy scene with the laughing gas like in "Lethal Weapon 4."
