All 4 are strong movies. From #1 with younger, crazier Mel Gibson - to #2 (my favorite) where the bond between Riggs and Murtaugh is really a a peak - and then you have #3 which was PURE 1990's, but still a fun movie and the villain was great.

#4 had Jet Li and was a ride!

Loved 1 and never watched another for fear it would have gone downhill like Die Hard and Rambo

There's a tonal whiplash after the second one. Third one is goofy as fuck

Third one is a legit goofy movie, with the singing black lady and what not - but it is not a BAD or even average movie. It's good, and develops the characters in a good way.

nope they dont go down hill at all
all 4 movies are amazing but there is a shift in tone like others have said
1 and 2 take themselves very seriously
3 and 4 are action comedy films and feel more light hearted overall even when tragedy happens it doesnt feel as serious because of the change in tone.

mel gibson going crazy later in life does make it hard to get new people to watch it but its still a great movie franchise

I mean you can say what you want about #3, but Jack Travis burying one of his dude's in the cement while saying "Wait, wait, this is the best part - you can write your name in it!" is just priceless.

Great villain.

1 and 2 are excellent. 3 and 4 are less good, but still pretty good.

Why is it that he can hit a 3rd baseman on a frozen rope from 300 feet away, but he can't hit a 12 foot tall catcher from 60 feet 6 inches away?

Die Hard 2 and 3 are great movies. 4 is good and 5 is dog shit.

First one is great. The rest are entertaining, but I really liked the original.

I find 2 and 3 really inferior to 1
Maybe I just really liked Hans Gruber or the hotel setting but yeah 2 and 3 did little for me

The 4th one is my favourite such a late 90s action movie

which one had Pesci and Chris Rock, that one was my favorite

That was #4.

It was a good movie, and the climax fight at the end between Riggs/Murtaugh and Jet Li was well done and has some good editing and sections.

They steadily decline in quality as the franchise goes on but even 4 is not a bad movie by any means. The worst part is how absolutely grating Joe Pesci is in the last two.

The thing about the Lethal Weapons movies, the first two were about Martin Rigg's emotional recovery. The third going forward was him in a healthier state of mind.

I mean the 2nd one has Mel Gibson dragging a house apart while Danny Glover aces fools with his 6-shooter.

It's the best one

i like how riggs basically ended up as part of the family that really helped highlight how close him and murtaugh had become
