July 13, 2011Third entry in the Lethal Weapon franchise is a film with mixed results. I really have mixed opinions on the series, and personally, I thought the first was the best one. The first entry was the most exciting, most thrilling, and best written film in the entire series. Obviously... read more

June 20, 2011The third part of Richard Donner's cop buddy series is the silliest. It puts a lot more emphasis on humor, but once again offers plenty of violence and ruthless villains. While the plot is merely a variation of the former two films it works mostly thanks to the great chemistry be... read more

January 7, 2011Not quite as good as the first two, but honestly, how were they supposed to top two of the greatest action movies ever made? What's great here is that Riggs and Murtaugh are still as strong as ever, as is their new sidekick Leo. Rene Russo was a great addition to the cast and is ... read more

December 10, 2010Another dull 90's Action sequel, where I'm not entirely sure what the theme of the film was if I were to have to explain it to anyone, took several attempts to get through this one.

September 25, 2010Things started to show some wear and tear by this point, but this is still a highly entertaining film filled with tons of laughs, great action sequences, and some really fun moments. Rene Russo is great as the newcomer, and Gibson and Glover are as reliable as always. Pesci isn't... read more

September 24, 2009Another great sequel but Pesci can get a little annoying to watch (I guess that was the point though)

July 18, 2009The third and should of been final weapon flick. This is still pretty good, it just gets by. The baddies aren't too intense this time which lets it down and the intro of Russo gives it a weak point that turns it too light hearted, but the action is still there, it looks good n re... read more

July 16, 2009It just keeps getting better. A hilarious, pulse-pounding action-packed thrill-ride from start to finish. An off the wall joy-ride that still delivers the goods. Gibson and Glover never fail to deliver in their chemistry as buddy cops. The action is tougher, the laughs are funnie... read more

February 22, 2009Not only the magic is back - its 3 times more powerful!!!
Gibson and Glover reunite as the 'chaos and mayhem' partners of the LAPD- along with sidekick Pesci as the fast and trash talkin Leo Getz. Joining them is wild card Rene Russo as an Internal affairs officer who ma... read more

Manages to be highly entertaining and sanctions all its violence by making the bad guys so despicable that death seems to be the only solution. Full Review

Mediocrity wielded by experts.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
They know what they're doing and how to do it, but we miss the sense of invention that brightened the earlier movies. Full Review

If there's an original moment in this movie, producer Joel Silver and director Richard Donner sincerely apologize. Full Review

Hal Hinson, Washington Post
Yes, there is a shot of Mel Gibson's bum, and, no, director-producer Richard Donner still hasn't learned the first thing about directing action so that it has any coherence or beauty. Full Review

Elliot Panek, Common Sense Media
Violent action sequel on par with rest of series. Full Review

TV Guide's Movie Guide
More of the same, but it's now so far removed from any sense of reality, and done with such ham-fisted insistence, it's become a clumsy parody of itself. Full Review
