The characters remain funny and likable, and they all live on Earth. - 80
Variety
The quintessence of the buddy cop pic, "LW4" is big on action, playful banter and just enough plot to keep our attention from wandering. - 75
San Francisco Chronicle
One could argue about which "Lethal Weapon'' is the best, but No. 4 is certainly the funniest, warmest and most idiosyncratic. - 75
San Francisco Examiner
I think the script by television writer Channing Gibson (no relation) is the funniest of them all. - 63
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
This movie is exceptionally brutal, cruel, savage and without conscience -- and that's just the comic parts. In contrast, the violent action sequences are quite entertaining. - 50
Chicago Sun-Times
Lethal Weapon 4 has all the technical skill of the first three movies in the series, but lacks the secret weapon, which was conviction. - 20
TV Guide Magazine
Cynical and contemptuous of its audience, this lazy sequel oozes an insufferable air of self-satisfaction. - 10
Washington Post
The most lethal weapon of all turns out to be the script.
