oh my god . this film be terrible . it so bad that even give it my time to describe how bad it be be really a huge and unnecessary waste of my time . just about everything that can be bad about this film be . start with the truly abysmal screenplay adaptation from the book and gruesome directing from donner ( how do he ever make lethal weapon on this evidence . ) and awful awful ham act from just about everyone but butler and and a dismal clichéd score that almost make me asphyxiate myself with the remote control in order to make it stop . $ 80m . please someone tell me it not true . a truly terrifying example of what happen when the studio be determine to make a cookie cutter that they think will make a few quid . thank god it tank and let pray it taught a few people to actually read the screenplay before they make the film next time .
