LETHAL WEAPON 4 is just more of the same as the other three movies, but Donner has injected a couple of new ideas into the franchise, the countless funny one-liners of Chris Rock and the deadly Martial Arts of Jet Li as the evil, menacing exporter Wa Sing Ku.
Lethal Weapon 4 is the final and by far the best of the 4, which are all undoubtedly superb.
Lethal Weapon 4 is a pretty good rounder off to the end of the series, action, comedy, rehashed one liners aand all the other things that made the other 3 great are all present.

 Blu-ray Review: Lethal Weapon 2 | High-Def Digest
It is certainly the best of the sequels (especially compared to the tired 'Lethal Weapon 4,' which really scraped the bottom of the creative barrel), but lacks the freshness of the original.
Ultimately, 'Lethal Weapon 2' is a strong catalog effort from Warner, and should please fans of the film.
'Lethal Weapon 2' is a bit better than Warner's Blu-ray release of the original film, if only because the film itself benefits from a bigger budget and more polished look.

 HD DVD Review: Lethal Weapon 2 | High-Def Digest
Like the first 'Lethal Weapon' on HD DVD, Warner gives the sequel a new Dolby Digital-Plus upgrade, though the original source material is still a bit lacking.
None of the 'Weapon' films ever got the kind of feature-laden DVD special editions usually afforded to huge money-making franchises, which in hindsight seems quite odd.
'Lethal Weapon 2' is more or less on par with Warner's HD DVD release of the original film.

 DVDown Under Review - Lethal Weapon 2
Lethal Weapon 2 is a fitting follow up after Lethal Weapon and sees the lethal introduction of Joe Pesci to the series, which by Lethal Weapon 4 I’m sure most are regretting.
The plot to 2 does show some improvement in its structure to the first film in that it does actually have some interesting twists at times.
There really is a lot of reliance of the humour factor in all the Lethal Weapon films, and unless you truly appreciate the screwball antics humour it could be quite tedious.

 Lethal Weapon 2 - DVD - Title L Shopping at dooyoo.co.uk
Rather than playing on past glories, Lethal Weapon 2 could easily stand alone as an original movie in its own right and that is very much in its favour.
The rough edges which could arguably be said to be seen in the original are smoothed out by the inclusion of Boam on the team and the addition of the additional character played by Pesci simply add a deeper dimension to the proceedings.
This movie is perhaps not quite so high paced as the original and does suffer from a few gaping holes in the plot, but who...

 DVD Review: Lethal Weapon 2:DC
As with the rest of the series, their intentions are only outlined - the biggest part of the series remains to be the conversations between Riggs and Murtaugh, and this time, the comedy of Pesci.
SOUND: Again, both Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS audio are presented on this edition of the "Lethal Weapon" series, and in general, the presentation is an entertaining one.
The other highlight, as with Lethal Weapon 3 and Lethal Weapon 1 is the score, again done by Michael Kamen, Eric Clapton and David Sanborn.

 Lethal Weapon 2
After I panned Lethal Weapon 4, it was almost with some trepidation that I watched Lethal Weapon 2 - maybe my fond memories of the Lethal Weapon series were misplaced?
As is to be expected from the Lethal Weapon series, there are lots of great action stunts, lots of great one-liners (which work in this movie, unlike those in Lethal Weapon 4) and lots of fun and mayhem.
Lethal Weapon 2 is a great action movie.

 Lethal Weapon 2 HD DVD - RopeofSilicon.com
What is probably the worst movie in the Lethal Weapon franchise comes to HD DVD as Lethal Weapon 2 meets high definition, but outside of the audio and video improvements, which are negligible there isn't a lot to brag or talk about with this one.
As I said, Lethal Weapon 2 is probably the worst of the four films in the franchise as Riggs (Gibson) and Mertaugh (Glover) take on a group of drug smugglers led by Arjen Rudd, the minister of diplomatic affairs for the South African consulate.
About six years ago Warner Bros. did special Director's Cut editions of the first three Lethal Weapon films, which incorporated the deleted scenes back into the film and presented the movies with in a widescreen format with accompanying Dolby 5.1 and DTS 5.1 tracks.

"Lethal Weapon 2" is a rarity: a sequel with most of the same qualities as the original.
As he did with the first "Lethal Weapon", director Richard Donner keeps it all moving along at a brisk pace, though he allows the intensity level to drop somewhat this time while infusing more humor.
Though serious at the core, this movie is more of a joy ride than the first, though there are moments of true menace and apprehension, as well as a sobering resolution involving one of the featured characters.

 DVD.net : Lethal Weapon 2 - Directors Cut - DVD Review
After the runaway success of the original Lethal Weapon, a sequel was almost inevitable.
The formula continues with the occasional use of pop songs, included here are the likes of George Harrison, The Beach Boys and we even get to hear Patsy Kensit warbling away with her belly-flop of a band, the unfortunately named Eighth Wonder.
As with the new 'director's cut' release of the first Lethal Weapon, if you already own the second instalment you have every right to feel a tad put out, with this disc presenting the movie in a much better light sonically and visually.

Overall, Lethal Weapon 2 does deliver on the fronts of action, humour, excitement and emotion, but fails on the romantic and one liners fronts.
Surprisingly, this is the worst in the series, but it still gets 5 stars for delivering the action sequences that made the series so famous.
If you enjoyed the gun-ho shinanigans of the first Lethal Weapon then this sequal stares right down the barrel at you and fires right at you.

If you were going to watch only one Lethal Weapon movie, this should be it.
With snappy dialogue, plenty of action and some good guys to root for, "Lethal Weapon 2" is a thoroughly entertaining sequel that more than does justice to the original.
Donner knows his territory, and his stars know their stuff and how to deliver it, and that's a `lethal' combination any way you look at it.
