Customer Reviews of Lethal Weapon 2 - DTS
Sequel lives up to first... "Empire Strikes Back," "X-Men 2," "Terminator 2," "Lethal Weapon 2." What do these have in common? They are all sequels that live up to and succesfully complement the original. "Lethal Weapon 2" reunites us with Murtaugh (Danny Glover) and Riggs (Mel Gibson) and adds a new character, Leo Getz (Joe Pesci) into the mix. The results are explosive and hilarious. While the first was mostly about the two characters and their lives, this is more about action and suspense. But the development of characters is still there and still very strong. The plot revolves around South African diplomats, who are conducting some bad business and yet can't be stopped due to diplomatic immunity. The action is very well executed and the story is about as good an action plot as you can get! I would strongly recommend this to any action fan.
One of the best sequels.
A lot of sequels are shameless retreads of earlier material with nothing new to explore or for the audience to experience. Then there are some sequels which are worthy of the original, and there are even few sequels which outshine the original. Lethal Weapon 2 is one of those. This first sequel in the "Lethal" series is from beginning to end a roller coaster ride of action, comedy, suspense and drama. It is more "Lethal Weapon" than the first film was.
The story picks up a few years after the first film as Mel Gibson and Danny Glover return as cops Riggs and Murtaugh. They are on the brink of busting a huge drug smuggling ring and are reassigned to protect a government informant named Leo Getz played by Joe Pesci who should have been considered for an Oscar in this performance.
The introduction of the Getz character is the film's stroke of genius. In the first film Riggs and Murtaugh complained and bickered with each other. Now 2 years later the audience knows they are close friends, so bickering would seem unrealistic and a retread of the first film. They now have Getz to complain about and insult which gives the film many comic scenes. This action/adventure is as funny as a straight out comedy.
While the action is more abundant this time it does not replace story or character development like in most sequels. This film pays great respect to the events in the first film by continuing the Riggs/Murtaugh friendship storyline and having them bond even more than before.
Lethal Weapon 2 is everything what a great sequel should be.
LETHAL WEAPON 2
The boys are back in town for the second film in the legendary "Lethal Weapon" series. This time around, Riggs (Mel Gibson) and Murtaugh (Danny Glover) stumble upon a South African drug ring while babysitting key witness Leo Getz (Joe Pesci). All the laughs and action of the original; Pesci is outrageous. Richard Donner knows when to let up, and he hasn't done it yet.
* This director's cut includes four minutes of additonal footage.
