"Lethal Weapon 2" has a generous selection of set piece action sequences which usually results in the wholesale destruction of property and all in the name of entertainment. These sequences have been exceptionally well executed and they certainly go towards further enlivening what is an already highly entertaining although not particularly memorable motion picture experience. A lot of the carefully constructed scripting used to establish exactly what is going on is all too eagerly disregarded in favour of the much lazier and undoubtedly the more crowd pleasing option of simply blowing things up or killing a lot of people just for the sake of it. Of course it would be nice if this wasn't always the more commonplace approach in a genre film such as this one.
