Customer Reviews

Ignorance
I have a question, why are people giving this movie bad reviews that state themselves they didnt even really like the other two movies to begin with? Im not gonna go write a review about harry potter or something I hate and trash talk it cuz my opinion is irrelevant. If you liked the other two movies then this one will not be disappointing. This movie was supposed to be a comedy with some martial arts action poured on top and thats exactly what it was. Chris Tucker was hilarious in it and if he annoys you then dont watch the movie. I was in a completley packed theater and every person was laughing so hard people were losing their breath. So obviously SOMEONE thinks Chris Tucker is funny. All the haters need to back off of this post.

2.5--Sometimes this is what we get to what we ask for.............
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.

Another Example Why Holiwood Needs To Stop Making Sequels
I liked the first Rush Hour a lot. The second one wasn't as fantastic but since they changed the location it made things kind of fresh. I think they went for the same formula on the third one by taking them to France after being in LA for a while but it just wasn't entertaining.

Sure, there were a few spots of humor here and there. When a French cab drivers insults Halle Barry in front of Chris Tucker his reaction made me laugh out loud. However, this movie just never grabbed me.

To be honest, this reminds me of this great teacher I had. When I first took his class he was funny and entertaining. What made him really stand out was his great repertoire of one-liners that had the classroom rolling. So when he was teaching another class I was excited to sign up and found that his silliness started wearing off on me and his "great repertoire" was actually the same old jokes from the previous class. Though there wasn't anything different, it was just boring anyways.

This movie is like that. There wasn't anything to keep this fresh, it was just a rehashing of the first two movies again. Even references to "Mu shoo" were there like the makers thought we would still be laughing at that joke. Come on, its old now. The only thing they did to try and keep this fresh was filming it in Europe but I think this movie needed more. Even Shrek needed to bring in new sidekicks to keep things fresh.

In the end, I never finished this movie. Halfway though my son asked me if I wanted to play Guitar Hero and I thought that would be more entertaining. After a few days I realized I never finished the movie and then realized again I had no desire to.

Unless Rush Hour still tickles your fancy I'd just avoid this one. Others described it as watchable and I think that is the nicest thing I can say about this movie. I mean, it wasn't horrible it just wasn't good.
