Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

adonis98-743-186503 After an attempted assassination on Ambassador Han, Lee and Carter head to Paris to protect a French woman with knowledge of the Triads' secret leaders. Rush Hour 3 has the same energy of the previous 2 installments plus both Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker once again are amazing and their chemistry is insane. Hiroyuki Sanada is also great as Lee's evil brother and Max von Sydow's character and his twist in the end was pretty good and the best scene in the entire film was easily the Mi and Yu scene that entire scene was freaking hilarious. Rush Hour III is a total blast of adventure and laughs. (10/10)

Reuben Saunders I just had an adventure in watching Rush Hour 3 for the first time. It's the last of Jackie Chan's most successful American film series, and unfortunately the worst. Nonetheless, Rush Hour 3 provides just enough laughs and fun action to be an enjoyable watch.It follows the story of the attempted assassination of Ambassador Chan and the following chase of the Triads that did it, along with the protection of a woman with knowledge of the organisation's secrets by the Blackenese duo Lee and Carter. Chris Tucker is just as charismatically black as in the previous Rush Hour films and Jackie Chan is exactly the same as usual – we would expect no less and no more — and yes, charismatically is a new word, I'm basically Shakespeare. The pair isn't quite as hilarious as in former films, however, because they aren't helped by a slightly dry script. The jokes are less free-flowing and are often drowned out by some over- seriousness and the boring score – not quite the funky jams as in Rush Hour 1 and 2. Characters like Max von Sydow's Reynard add nothing to the film, him standing out as a boring and serious English man who causes the film to go too long without a joke. All he does is slowly walk around and talk loudly about things you're not interested in. Chris Tucker can sometimes be seen wincing in the corner in these scenes.The plot is at fault, too. It's not a plot that doesn't work, but it's one that is a little too convoluted for what should have been a stupid action comedy like the other two. Admittedly there was some shizzle going on in 2, but in this doohickey things just keep on happening that just make the plot more complicated than it needs to be and takes away from the comedy. I mean, Rush Hour isn't supposed to be James Bond. It's Rush Hour. The story barely matters. Rush Hour is about high-pitched jokes and ridiculous action. It should be kept simple, that's what I'm saying.It ain't no film-ruiner though. It's still the same ol' Rush Hour. It's full of action and great Jackie Chan stunts – if some fights can go on a little too long. Chris Tucker may be slightly chubby but most of his jokes are as funny as they are in the other two movies. There's something about the acting in the film, however, that seems slightly rusty in comparison to the last two movies. In fairness, I do view the other two as Godly beings, so maybe I'm biased to those two over this one. But honestly, there is something less amazing about the performances in Rush Hour 3.The score is super boring too, I would like to reiterate. About the only funk in the film comes at the start and the end, the result being the movie feels a little at loss of its personality. The camera-work is a bit odd, too. There are some ambitious shots here and there that simply don't need to be there, and the shaky cam just reminds me of Man of Steel (not a good thing).Nevertheless, all the negative things about Rush Hour 3 aren't really that negative. It still manages to be a pretty good action comedy flick with just enough Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker jokage to keep it at a relatively high quality among other films of its kind.

mistoppi Rush Hour 3 isn't any worse or better than the first two, but I won't give it the same score as the first two. While the quality isn't any worse, this is getting tiring. Not the plot, not the thrilling action and astonishing fight scenes, but the humour. It's not as funny as it used to be and that's a shame. The story is way better than in the second, considering it's heavily tied to the first movie. There are interesting new characters played by interesting actors, like Hiroyuki Sanada and Yvan Attal. If you've written quite long reviews of the first two it's really hard trying to write something new about the third one. Everything that was good or bad is good or bad in this one as well - with the difference that some jokes are beginning to feel really tiring. First one is the best out of the three. Rush Hour 3 has better story than the second one though, since after seeing the third one, Rush Hour 2 feels distant considering few characters that are in the first and third but not in the second. First one feels most original, even if it is just a simple, entertaining action comedy.

david-sarkies I am quite a fan of Jackie Chan movies – when they were made in Hong Kong during what I considered the golden age of Hong Kong cinema. However his Hollywood movies just do not seem to have the same class about them as his Hong Kong movies did. Further, as can be expected with most Hollywood sequels the quality of the films degenerate significantly, and it is no different with this film. It did have its laughs, and with the exception of Chris Rock's character, it wasn't that painful to watch, but it still does not deserve a very high rating.The basic premise is that Jackie Chan is a cop from Hong Kong and Chris Rock is an LA police officer. Chan has returned to America with the Chinese Ambassador for a conference at the world court, but the Triad want to put an end to this, so they attempt, and fail, to assassinate the Chinese ambassador. Thus Chan and Rock team up again (much to Chan's horror) to attempt to locate the head of the triad and bring the criminal organisation to an end. Throughout the film Chan and Rock attempt to come to terms with a rather, unique, friendship. Rock is very keen to be Chan's friend, while Chan (much like myself) finds Rock to be incredibly annoying.While I would recommend that one not really waste one's time with this film, I still don't feel too comfortable in revealing too much of the plot, namely because there is not all that much depth in the plot to discuss, so, without further adieu, I'll finish the review.
