Siskel has a point about the main characters from Lethal Weapon 2. Right from the opening scene, Gibson comes off as a parody of his character from the first film. They're both a bit wackier. It's as if it was straying a tad from its _R_ rating in hopes of a broader appeal. The writing is still good but feels a bit dumbed down and lacks the bite of its predecessor. There's more comedy this time around. At some point, it seems like this became typical of action sequels. I much preferred the scenes where Gibson and Glover are playing it straight. Pesci was terrific.

siskel is the absolute worst. He said Die Hard 2 was better than Die Hard 1 and he's saying Ebert's standards are dropping for liking Predator 1....ONE OF THE GREATEST ACTION MOVIES OF ALL TIME! He's THE WORST

It shows how far movies, and Siskel, Ebert, and reviewers in general had fallen by that point that they’re even bothering with fodder like Lethal Weapon TWO (or even the first which was drek to begin with)
