This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson) and Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover) pursue an arms dealer who is a former LAPD officer (Stuart Wilson).I love that Joe Pesci is a bit more lively in this one. He seemed subdued in part two. Can't wait to see him in part four, though he will probably be overshadowed by the massive cast.Director Richard Donner is an animal-rights and pro-choice activist, and placed many posters and stickers for these causes in the film. Of note are the T-shirt worn by one of Murtaugh's daughters (the actress's idea), an 18-wheeler with an anti-fur slogan on the side, and a sticker on a locker in the police station. Was this necessary? I don't know. I thought the t-shirt seemed strange, and somehow balanced funny with the condom ad...

They made a mess of this one. By now they had a formula of the appeal, Gibson and Glover's chemistry. They had the money for even bigger stunts and explosions. But the only reason they kept making them was because the previous one did well, and the one before that, so we don't have some vision anymore. It's one thing after another. Murtaugh is first chased around by the fat female cop, later he is struck by the somber tragedy of having killed a friend of his son. Leo Getz is brought back for some slapstick, is shot, disappears. Riggs finds a girlfriend, Murtaugh disappears. We're left with their chemistry, some sense of familiar fun but stuck nowhere. It's telling that it's shot in the same LA as the first, but now there is no sense of place, the filming itself is as scattershot as the structure.

Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, and Joe Pesci return for this overly comedic, and routine sequel, which finds them going after a corrupt former cop, now illegal arms dealer, whose guns have gotten on the streets in Muratugh's own neighborhood, hitting him personally, while Riggs meets his female counterpart in the form of policewoman Lorna(played by Rene Russo) who is just as tough as he is, and with prodding, just as reckless.Overlong and too preachy, sequel feels watered down with a misdirected "family" feel to the story, rather than the hard edged action of before, though that won't stop Lorna and Riggs from threatening a suspect with being crushed by a car! Not a "cat"astrophe, but a disappointment.

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.
