"Lethal Weapon 4" was so god-awful BAD that I'm not surprised they're making "Lethal Weapon 5."

The "draw" to LW4, I guess, was the combative riffing comedy between Chris Rock and Joe Pesci. If you dug that, i guess you might have enjoyed the movie.

Two somewhat obvious issues I have with the concept of "LW5"...

1). Gibson's spousal issues, virulent anti-Semitism, and full-bore Mar-a-Lago MAGAt demeanor. I can't stomach the sight or sound of him, even in his older "classic" films.

2). Danny Glover is now 78 years old. Two hours of Danny Glover exclaiming "I'm too old for this shit" isn't my idea of a good time.
