Just saw this for the first time. It's pretty comfy, but why is it considered one of the best action movies of all time?
Guess it was impressive in the 80s.
I watched it recently for the first time and I hated it. Generic action script from first-time screenwriter Shane Black, ostentations 'star performance' from Gibson with 'actorly' turns like when he is looking at his late wife's photograph and trying to commit suicide and shit-tier, impersonal Hollywood direction by Donner. One of the most unpleasant movie experiences I've had as of late.
Needs more Pesci
2 and 4 are much better
2 is better. Actually 3 and 4 are better too and they're pretty dogshit.

Comedy ruined Lethal Weapon, what the fuck is wrong with you????
>>71697403
Lethal Weapon saga has aged terribly.
Specially compared with the first Die Hard movies.
>>71697403
Considering the 00s and 10s are terrible for action movies, and the 90s was just the dwindling flame of the 80s...
It being impressive for the 80s does qualify it for being one of the best of all time.
>>71698102
Die Hard was never good.
>>71698170
the first three are incredible.
The fucking plebs itt i cant even begin to begin....
The Lethal weapon series are the absolute best buddycop mpvies ever made.
This is not up for debate u underage shits.
Btw
2>3>4>1
but they are all excellent movies
>>71698192
first was 3/5, second 2/5 and third was 1/5
DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY!
1 was the Empire of Lethal Weapon movies. You're all a bunch of dummies.
I love when millennials try to understand '80s movies. They just can't.
>>71698295
I (>>71697452) was born in '79.
>>71698315
>Born in '79
>Just watched Lethal Weapon for the first time
How I know you are lying.
You were born in like 93, kiddo.
>>71698348
It was one of the movies I didn't see when I was young and only caught up with recently. Same with Beverly Hills Cop, which I enjoyed.
>>71698294
This. Anyone who doesn't think part 1 is the best of the series is seriously a fucking cockstain of the highest order.
Wew, is this the shit taste thread?
>>71698397
Yup. Wanna eject with me, bro. I am outski.

>the chick (with the fancy dutch name)and of course it's the STRONG INDEPENDENT WOMANsays that not all South Africans support their country's policies
I stopped the movie and DROP'd it then and there, felt like I was being pandered to. Maybe amerigans just have low standards...

>actionshit
>literally the 80s equivalent of capeshit
>excellent
youwatm80? this wasn't a McTiernan or Millius flick; it was just some Hollywood cashgrab, cashin in on a then-popular genre
>>71698397
evidently
Because your blick
>>71698425
Nah, they were great films
48hrs
>neckbeard autists on /tv/ hate the lethal weapon series
no wonder capeshit threads dominate this board
>>71698907
It's deserving of the h8, m8.
End apartheid now
It's in literally every Donner movie. That's why the Jews love him... He's such a good goy
>>71698425
You're just mad because they accurately described your shitty language.
>>71699064
Richard Donner is a Jew.
>>71698170
Even if you don't consider Die Hard it was extremely influential.
Lethal Weapon isn't on the same level of impact as Die Hard. 48 Hrs had already started the buddy-cop trend.
>>71698257
IT'S BEEN REVOKED.
>>71697748
The original had plenty of comedy, and Leo Getts is one of my favorite peschi characters.
>>71698218
>the absolute best buddycop mpvies ever made.
Sorry anon but 48 Hours exists.
>>71698192
The first one was.
The second was decent but not great, and the third was mediocre. I don't give a shit about the two recent ones.
Die Hard should have been a standalone movie and not a series.
>expecting nu-males to appreciate LW
>>71699504
Die Hard 4 is literally better than 2, 3 and 5.
the 80s are a meme, don't fall for it
>>71699099
really?
>>71700531
>Donner was born Richard Donald Schwartzberg in the Bronx, to Jewish parents,[2] Hattie and Fred Schwartzberg.[3]
