I just saw this movie for the first time in 20 years. It was never my favorite in the series, but after seeing it again for the second time, I was pleasantly surprised how much I liked it. There was never a bad Lethal Weapon in my opinion. But this is how I rank them:
Lethal Weapon
Lethal Weapon 2
Lethal Weapon 4
Lethal Weapon 3
It is a little inferior to the first two, mainly because of Travis being a less menacing villain than the first two, but it was the funniest of the four, I think. Though I wouldn't consider 6.7 a 'low' rating. 6.0 would be 'low' for this series. I've been spending today rewatching these movies (and The Last Boy Scout since it feels a LOT like a Lethal Weapon spin-off or something) to update my ratings and opinions on each of them and I'm watching this one right now, and I have to say I'm enjoying it a lot more now than I remember back then.
My ranking would be:
Lethal Weapon 2
Lethal Weapon
Lethal Weapon 4
Lethal Weapon 3
EDIT-I changed my mind; after finishing the marathon last night I actually like 3 better than 4, so...
Lethal Weapon 2
Lethal Weapon
Lethal Weapon 3
Lethal Weapon 4

Welcome to the middle of nowhere--the center of everywhere.
I can't imagine anyone rating part 4 higher than the others. It was just...off...in every single way. It doesn't fit with the series at all.
shareIt certainly doesn't suck, but it's my least favorite Lethal Weapon film.

Pleasantly surprised is exactly what I came on here to say. So far I have watched 1-3 and I rate this one ahead of 2. I am watching 4 later tonight. This one had more humor than the other movies, so I bet it's rated low by annoying people who think every movie in the series must be the same percentage of serious vs. humor.
