Lethal Weapon Ratings & Reviews
- Zokkiie16h agoA total classic that still holds up after all these years. Mel Gibson and Danny Glover have incredible chemistry, and the dynamic between their characters is what really makes the movie shine. The mix of intense action, smart writing, and a little humor is perfect. While some parts feel a bit dated, it’s still packed with great fight scenes and memorable moments. If you’re a fan of 80s action, this is definitely a must-watch.
- Ddoughnut3d agoI find it hilarious how I watched Die Hard, an action movie, then olive the other reindeer, a 45 minute short film, then this, another action movie
- cursedbagsSeptember 29, 2025Good Christmas Movie.
- QuothageDecember 14, 2025Is it a Christmas movie? Heck yes it is, and a right cracker too.
- CubaneDecember 12, 2025A buddy cop classic. Mel Gibson plays himself!
- jackmeatAugust 21, 2025My quick rating - 7.8/10. Since plex dropped that other action flick into my "Tis the Season" library, why not refresh myself with another classic? Last time I watched this, 1080P wasn't even remotely a thing. This movie redefined the buddy cop movie and solidified Mel Gibson as a top box office star. The chemistry between the two actors is what made this legendary. Not going to get too full-blown since I am sure nearly all have seen this. Still a good one to bust out for the holidays.
- kev_oDecember 12, 2025Great Christmas Movie!
- Mycroft001December 6, 2025Gritty with wonderful performances from all the cast. A good amount of humour too but not too much to ruin the flow
- John GuiverApril 16, 2025One of my top movies ever, can watch them again and again, action, humor and great story !!
- rama181July 25, 2025Best action movie
- FTVJuly 29, 2025The first lethal weapon movie was epic. It’s part of my top 100 favorite movies playlist
- Just_JohnnyJune 21, 2025I tell people to go spit all the time. It works for any occasion, from child rearing to divorce. Go spit.
- 8qqgmMay 16, 2025One of the best film ever made on this genre. Shame on Hollywood that is not working anymore like this
- ርልዪረJanuary 26, 2025Lethal Weapon is the ultimate buddy cop action movie. Mel Gibson and Danny Glover’s chemistry delights as the crazed young gun and the old experienced cop grow to respect and trust each other. Mel Gibson gives another iconic performance in his catalog of outstanding characters as the quirky and lovable but traumatizing Martin Riggs struggling to find a reason to hope. Danny Glover’s grouchy but endearing Roger Murtaugh is a perfect balance to Riggs. The two develop a loyalty throughout the film that makes the audience invest and care. At its core, Lethal Weapon is an epic action movie where the good guys kick some serious butt! For the 80s, this movie raised the bar for the action genre. My only complaint would be the first few minutes have some nudity that, if left out, would have made this a contender for the ultimate holiday action movie.
