Rogue_Leader 2 Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 I'm with Stefan on Richard Donner. I think the guy is a great director. Hes done some lackluster movies but the fault of them was more due to the script than his direction. He is usually top notch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morn 8 Posted February 1, 2004 Share Posted February 1, 2004 Lethal Weapon is a great story about a sucidal man coming to find something to live for Lethal Weapon 2 is just dumb action and a dumb typical plot, it's just bad, much like Aliens was.

Guest Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 I thought Lethal Weapon 2 was dark like the way TESB was. LW was kind of optimistic and funny (even though it dealed with Riggs' suicidal depression). LW2 was dark, considering the fact that Riggs started falling in love with Patsy Kensit, then the bad guys kill her. Then Mel goes pre-Braveheart on 'em all. Oh wait, no...he gets shot and Murtaugh takes care of the South African fellow. I can't remember. I just remember the movie was dark like TESB. Dan--who thinks the cinematography in them all--especially the night scenes--looks great "Face Huggers" from Aliens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could've done without the sex scene, and it seems Ford and Hartnett weren't quite clicking all the time, but there was some pretty funny dialogue. Ford marveling at Harnett's yoga racket was good, also most of the real estate jokes were well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Barnsbury 8 Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Oh no, don't even compare the two!!! The PoA ending (in the book at least) never seems forced or cheesy.

Elmo Lewis 6 Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 Do I want Indy IV? No, I still enjoy some sanity left.I could go on and explain why I don't want it. But then I remember what Neil said on summer 2002 about the upcoming Indy movie (Neil quoting some Trek character): "You may find more pleasure in wanting than in having."Wisest thing that can be said about this kind of late sequels.

Ollie 1,059 Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 So now Lucas isn't happy with Frank's draft? The longer this takes the more convinced I become that no good can come from a 4th Indy film. Remember how Will Smith and co waited 5 or 6 years for MIBII, how the wanted to wait for a quality story and script? Of course we know how that piece of censored that film turned out to be.
