About
You’ll likely enjoy Lethal Weapon 3 if you want loud buddy-cop energy, nonstop action, and familiar wisecracking; Not for you if you dislike over-the-top sequels or prefer darker, tighter plots like Conspiracy Theory or The Long Kiss Goodnight.
Pros: fast buddy-cop banter; big action set pieces; strong lead chemistry | Cons: villain feels underdeveloped; humor can miss; romance pace drags
