I have been a die-hard fan of J.B. since I saw my first real Bond movie in 1979, "Moonraker". No- Roger Moore is NOT James Bond (never was either), but Pierce Brosnan IS! "Goldeneye" had some promise, followed by "Tomorrow Never Dies". But the last two installments get worse and worse with age. But that is the issue here- AGE! James Bond is old and tired, and just needs to retire!

The creators have used up every plotline, every gadget, every villian, etc. Now they have invisible cars, machines that reconfigure one's face & body perfectly, surfing commandos, etc? Now, why was it that they fired Bond in this one? And was that hotel really supposed to be made of ice? Weren't J.B. and chickeroo cold when they had sex? Do you think they even did? And wasn't Toby Stephens a menacing bad guy? HA-HA! Did Maculay Culkin grow up and take this part for free? And is this now tailored to fit in the Generation Y audience now? They'd rather see Vin Diesel in that movie last year than this old fart. Oh- but it has Halle Berry!

And I've seen better dialogue in the new Star Wars movies than this!

My bad! Sorry guys!

This was plain stupid and a disgrace to the James Bond legacy.

This was an unoriginal waste of celluoid, time, talent (Chris Cooper, Franka Potente), blasting caps, squibs, set pieces, vehicles, etc...The action was entertaining, but completely implausible-- being that I've seen what guns can do to people, I did not accept this film from the beginning (for reasons one will find out when reading about the plot to this film). And what I couldn't believe was the fact that this movie really thought it was cool,hip, and original. This kind of genre is as dead as eight-track tapes, and I would of expected better from a director like Doug Liman. I think $$$ was the only reason why this film was made: money for Universal; money for the director; ...for the actors; there was nothing else appealing except it had great photography at times, and helped me brush up on my German.

But that's it. You're better off watching "Mission Impossible"-- it made just as much sense as this film!

I used to be a big-time "Lethal Weapon" fan. I watched the second one in awe; couldn't wait or the third one and when it sucked, I still appreciated it for the characters keeping it together. But now after seven years, other films, my deteriorating youth, comes ANOTHER sequel to make us forget about how the third one was such a debacle. So they put the over-obnoxious Chris Rock into it; give Mel Gibson a haircut; make a convuluted and familiar plot to it; give it some heart; usual perils/recycled jokes/recurring characters who serve no purpose to the story (Mary Ellen Trainor), and you've got "Lethal Weapon 4"!

Now who the hell torches Hollywood boulevard in a metal suit?

There's no way in hell one can take the slide off a 9mm with one hand (let alone 1.5 seconds)...

Was this a recruiting commercial for the LAPD?

If Gibson has a makeover, why can't others?

They're obviously running out of ideas (since the third one)-- isn't Murtaugh supposed to retire soon? What about Riggs?

Don't get me wrong: this film had its moments, but it's time to put this series to bed! ...Or maybe I'm getting too old for this s***!
