- the Leo Getz character was an annoying and unnecessary addition to this series.
- the whole Cosby show style humor doesn't belong in a series like this.
- Riggs was starting to lose his edge he had in the first film.
- having the South African guy being the killer of Riggs wife was a lame plot twist.
- I really enjoyed Leo, especially at the end of IV when he opened his heart to Riggs at the cemetery, but I get how he can be annoying.
- It was a bit ridiculous in a few places, particularly at the embassy, but I really liked the scenes at Murtaugh's house and at the police station between the cops. It gave the movie heart, humor and depth.
- Of course Riggs was starting to lose his edge. The reason why he had it in the first place was because his wife was dead and he was alone in deep pain. By the end of the first movie, Riggs finds great support in his partner Murtaugh and his family. Naturally, this helps Riggs to become more stable as a person. This is demonstrated when he hands Rianne his suicide bullet to give to his partner.
- Perhaps, but at least they did it in a way that made sense. They had drug operations, Riggs worked to bust them, he was getting too close and his wife was killed in the process while he was working late on the job. Rika being indirectly killed because of him added an extra layer of pain and revenge to the movie.
