Lack of good storyline.
Good movie but grossly overrated
Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
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.
Our Rover Boys Mel Gibson and Danny Glover are riding high again. They both lose their sergeant's stripes again over their recklessness, but when they stop an armored car heist and take a prisoner, they uncover a really nasty smuggling and arms dealing racket masterminded by a cop who just went over the hill.According to LAPD's Internal Affairs Stuart Wilson racked up more complaints than about any cop on record, he was effective but reckless and brutal. Wilson just one day on a stakeout went over the hill, left after saying he was going for coffee. Just went over the bad guys, Job abandonment reaches a new high.In fact Wilson is one of the slimiest villains ever in the history of cinema. The seriousness of this guy is almost jarringly out of place with Legal Weapon style hijinks.Mel Gibson gets a surprise in that Rene Russo whom he initially thought was an uptight IA cop turns out to be the woman he's been waiting for since his wife died. The girl has some moves.One small performance you should note, that of Jason Rainwater of a young idealistic cop who tags after Gibson and Glover and gets killed in the fight with Wilson and his crew. A touching death scene that will bring a tear to the eye.
After a botched bomb disposal job, Riggs and Murtagh find themselves on foot patrol (which they both aren't happy about). After witnessing a murder at the hands of a bogus security team, Riggs sets off in hot pursuit with Murtagh not far behind in the 'real' security vehicle. Riggs and Murtagh contain the situation following a pursuit and some fisticuffs and arrest the driver Billy Phelps (Mark Pellegrino). When they examine his weapon, it turns out that it is a special type of gun that is able to pierce 'armour'. However, before Riggs and Murtagh manage to question Phelps, a man comes into the police station and shoots Phelps and calmly walks away. Riggs, Murtagh and internal affairs officer Lorna Cole (Russo) discover that Phelps has been shot and promptly examine the CCTV footage where Cole identifies the killer as 'Jack Travis' - a former police officer who is into arms in a big way. Riggs, Murtagh and Cole find that they must all work together to try and find out why Travis has murdered Phelps and how the 2 of them are linked; For me, the main problem with this Lethal Weapon entry is that there is very little in the way of a plot. The plot is basically Travis steals lots of arms and uses them against the police and that's pretty much it. We learn very little about Travis's motivations and we get no background information about him. Why did he get involved with arms? Why did he have a vendetta against the police? Who knows? Second we come to Leo Getz - OK,OK,OK,OK,OK,OK,OK,OK,OK (sorry I couldn't resist). I thought it was quite refreshing when he was introduced in the second film and found him to be tolerable in that film. Getz character also had more relevance to the plot in LW2. I found his character beyond irritating in this film and what exactly was the point of him being in this film? Oh yeah, he's an Estate Agent. Really? I like Joe Pesci and I've enjoyed every other film that he's been in, but I really couldn't stand him in LW3 - as I mentioned he was tolerable in the second film, but I felt he was a bit OTT here.There were other absurd scenes as well like where Cole and Riggs are both showing each other scars from where they've been shot and injured in various places. Why? Not only was it pointless, but it was also unfunny.At least, LW3 still had its funny moments and the chemistry is still strong between Riggs and Murtagh. As far as entertainment goes, this is good. But if you are the sort of person who enjoys a film with a well thought out and coherent plot then this may come as a disappointment. I gave it 5/10 purely for its entertainment value.
