Top CriticThree years later in the sequel, Tucker and Chan had found their groove, even if the movie did not have as many good laughs and great stunt work. Now, though, it is an awkward Greatest Hits Reunion Show, and neither one of them seem up to the task
09/07/07
Top CriticA dated, stale, anti-American comedy. I hope they all make enough money never to make another Rush Hour movie again.
08/03/07
It seems fairly likely that this is a case of returning once more with a bucket before the well runs dry.
08/10/07
Top CriticIt's hard to think of a sadder commentary about Hollywood's sequel fetish than the existence of Rush Hour 3.
08/08/07
None but the mad will want to see Rush Hour 3.
08/10/07
Jackie Chan is stellar, Chris Tucker is lame and the film is, while proficiently produced, about as dumb as a sack of hammers.
08/04/07
Two hours of non-stop, ear-shattering, humourless shrieking. It's simply unbearable. You soon find yourself begging for him to die.
08/10/07
The division of labor is the same as in the first two films: Jackie kicks ass; Chris kicks sass. Ratner's challenge is giving the stars enough comedy byplay to keep audiences awake between the big action scenes, and RH 3 gets it done.
08/09/07
The East-West fusion action has been exhausted, the broad comedy is tired and the dynamic between Jackie Chan and Christ Tucker has all but disappeared.
08/10/07
The most innovative scenes involve stunts, for which I'm sure Chan (who is always involved in action sequences and who is himself a director and fight choreographer) provided most of the inspiration.
08/11/07
If you've seen one Rush Hour, you've seen them all.
08/09/07
Less Abbott & Costello than Cheney & Rove; how else to explain the 'humor' in a movie that gleefully promotes the ugly in the phrase 'ugly American'?
08/10/07
By far the worst film in the series, and marks career low points for just about everyone involved.
08/09/07
Jeff Nathanson and director Brett Ratner's biggest crime is their inability to combine comedy and action, and their ineptitude at each element by itself.
08/09/07
Six years after the second installment...it would seem that there is little to warrant Rush Hour 3, and yet in not expecting too much I was surprised how much of a good time I had watching it.
08/09/07
The junky, clunky, grimly unfunny Rush Hour 3 isn't the worst movie of the summer. But it's an enervating bummer nonetheless.
08/09/07
Top CriticPretty agonising, from the misogynist display of female flesh to a truly horrific musical number to the no-longer-amusing closing credits outtakes.
