I know many love LW2 and consider it to be better than the first (and I certainly enjoy the film), but I have a couple issues with it: 1.) The lame retconning. I just never cared for the reveal that the South African henchman was behind the death of Riggs's wife. It acts as a cheap device to make the villains more evil. We already know these guys are racist criminal pricks, so why do we need this reveal? One of the things I liked in LW1 was how Riggs is able to get behind his wife's death and move on. When someone is made to be behind her death and Riggs can take them out, it sort of cheapens his arc in the original . 2.) Lackluster love interest. Patsy Kensit's a very attractive woman, but she's a very bland romantic foil for Riggs and they don't have much chemistry together. Say what you want about LW's 3&4, but at least there was some spark between Gibson and Russo. Kensit's character just exists so she can be killed off and turn Riggs back into the reckless maniac he was in the original. Now all that said, I still enjoy the film. Gibson and Glover continue to have great chemistry and Pesci's a good addition to the series. The film has many funny bits (the bomb on the toilet and Glover's daughter in the condom commercial) and some thrilling action. I give it a 7 out of 10. |

My least favourite LW movie. I find it quite boring, so only a 6 for me.
