      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Jet Li's arrival breathes fresh life into a tired franchise formula -- but not enough to put Lethal Weapon 4 on equal footing with its predecessors.

      Pedro G Buena película, un gran cierre para esta icónica franquicia. Esta cuarta y ultima entrega ya nos presenta a los dos protagonistas casi retirándose, en una historia con la misma formula de siempre: entretenimiento, acción, humor y esta vez con un final muy emotivo. La película se me hizo entretenida, no como la anterior pero si me entretuvo mas que las dos primeras, a pesar de que esta cuarta entrega es la mas larga de la saga. La historia esta decente, creo que sigue sin superar a las primeras dos pero esta al mismo nivel que la tercera, solo que esta vez tiene un villano que me gusta mas. El humor y la acción siguen presentes en la historia, por un lado el humor sigue siendo genial y tiene escenas graciosas, aunque también tiene otras en las que los chistes se alargan un poco a mi parecer; y por otro lado la acción sigue siendo bastante exagerada pero no es algo que me moleste del todo ya que estoy acostumbrado a ver esto en la franquicia. También tiene las típicas conveniencias y momentos sin sentido que ya estaban en las anteriores películas. En los personajes se añadió a Lee Butters, otro personaje con un toque de comedia que para mi esta de mas en la cinta pero que tampoco me molesta su participación ya que el actor creo que hace un buen papel. Por otro lado, las actuaciones son excelentes, principalmente las de Mel Gibson, Danny Glover, Jet Li, Joe Pesci, Rene Russo y Chris Rock. Por ultimo, hay que destacar el final brillante y emotivo que tiene, con todos los personajes juntos que conocimos a lo largo de esta saga diciendo que son una familia y con "Why Can't We Be Friends?" de fondo. En conclusión, un gran final para esta saga de películas y estos personajes tan icónicos, que si bien creo yo sigue sin estar al nivel de los comienzos de la saga, es una buena película que entretiene bastante y si llegaste hasta esta cinta te va a gustar mucho este final, hasta te puede emocionar. La recomiendo. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/29/24 Full Review Zinjx W The infectious chemistry between the actors and the unpretentious atmosphere as well as good humor keep Lethal Weapon 4 afloat. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/24 Full Review Thomas K Even part 4 is a great action-flick and Gibson and Glover are still one of the best buddy-cops ever in movie-history.

      Lisa Schwarzbaum Entertainment Weekly Rated: C Sep 7, 2011 Full Review TIME Magazine Mindless, sadistic violence juxtaposed with rote sentimentality: this is how Hollywood has finally solved the family-values conundrum, the question of how to entertain the blood- and sex-starved masses and be morally proactive at the same time. Aug 25, 2008 Full Review Leonard Klady Variety It matters little that the film is rife with non sequiturs, nonsense and nihilistic violence, because its heroes are so darn buoyant and charming. Aug 25, 2008 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins An outstanding finale to the series, proving that some forms of overkill never get too old. Rated: 8/10 Sep 14, 2020 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews The weakest of the series... Rated: 2.5/4 Feb 11, 2020 Full Review Zaki Hasan Zaki's Corner After four films and countless adventures, these characters have become a family, and they've become part of ours too.
