2.5--Sometimes this is what we get to what we ask for.............,,
By
This review is from: Rush Hour 3 (DVD)
I remember 2007 has been the year of the three-quel's, and at long last--after the ambitious excess of "Spiderman 3," the lackluster of "Shrek the Third," the love-it-or-hate-it logic to the "Pirates" finale, the return to glossy form of "Ocean's 13," and the tense, engaging "Bourne Ultimatum" (which gave a great ultimatum to its own franchise)--we come to its end with the fun, campy adrenaline-rush of Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker re-teaming for "Rush Hour 3." At the end of watching this I though it was okay but I felt a bit sad that it had to come to an end like this because I enjoy the first two very much.Jackie Chan (Lee) acts well as usual (have some problem for pronouncing things but I didn't mind that) and Chris Tucker is still hilarious and he's still loud as ever. The jokes are decent and I had my shares of laughs here and there, the only problem I have with the comedy is that sometime they try to stretch it far to much and you're ending up saying "We get it already", The chemistry between the two leads is still there which makes these movies fun in the first place. This was an unneeded yet entertaining entry into the series, but it is basically the love child of the first two. The outtakes as usual are the best part of the film. Rumors of filming a fourth Rush Hour film immediately after this third installment were apparently scrapped due to unknown reasons, but one could easily venture that failing interest in the series hamstrung such a project (but who knows ...maybe there will be a fourth). Plenty of eye-candy awaits those guys who like to see marvelously curvaceous women whom you normally would only see air-brushed on magazine covers. Most notably is French actress Noémie Lenoir who plays Genevieve, a dancer with a very special head on her shoulders. But beyond that, you're not going to see much that'll intrigue you. The story has been done ad nauseam, as have all the jokes. Let 'er rest in peace, guys.

No need to rush to see this one,
By Amanda Richards (Georgetown, Guyana) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (HALL OF FAME) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Rush Hour 3 (DVD)
Unfortunately, it seems that age is finally catching up with the leading man of the Rush Hour series. Martial arts action hero Jackie Chan takes a back seat to funny man Chris Tucker for most of the movie, but when he does get himself pumped up, his scenes are the ones that make this movie watchable.Set in Los Angeles and Paris, Lee (Chan) and Carter (Tucker) find themselves in the middle of Triad business while trying to protect the Chinese Ambassador and his daughter. Soon all four are "marked for death" (nothing to do with the Steven Seagal movie, thank goodness) and are hot on the trail of the Shai Shen - someone who can reveal the names of the secretive Triad leadership. The movie wends its weary way through encounters with assassins, goons and a Parisian Taxi cab driver, wiggles around burlesque dancers and car chases, and then winds up with a Grande Finale at the Eiffel Tower. Watchable, but not wonderful, after this one the producers certainly won't be in a rush to give us Rush Hour 4. Amanda Richards
