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

Top CriticYou have to wonder, what Max Von Sydow and Roman Polanski are doing propping up the cast of a picture whose action beats, if neatly staged, can't hold a candle to The Bourne Ultimatum's, and whose so-called comedy depends on reinforcing insulting ra

Top CriticDepressingly, the legendary Max von Sydow and Roman Polanski pop up in small parts. They must have been desperate for the cash. My advice is to save yours.

Top CriticIf this is car-crash cinema, it is a motorway pile-up of the sort that leaves a ten-junction tailback.
08/10/07
Top CriticChan still sounds silly talkin' jive, the action sequences are peppy if not exactly memorable, and the gags have been sitting out long enough to make penicillin.

When the outakes are the best part of a film, you know something's seriously backward. Here's Rush Hour 3 succinctly described in one word: Meh.
09/21/07
Rush Hour 3 isn’t quite painful enough to kill off a film legend, but I suspect it would give Jean-Luc Godard a sharp pain in his side, at the very least.
08/08/07
Chan shows he still has the chops during a showdown at the Eiffel Tower, but you'd think the movie's reported budget of $140 million might have bought Tucker at least one side-splitting gag.
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
Only the prospect of the outtakes and Chan's flubbed chopsocky stunts kept me going to the end, and even they turned out to be duds.
08/10/07
Most of the time while watching 'Rush Hour 3,' I couldn't help longing for another one of those hilarious Jackie Chan/Owen Wilson 'Shanghai' movies.

If you've seen one Rush Hour, you've seen them all.
08/09/07
Rush Hour 3 is junk - witless, uncomplicated, consisting of disposable vignettes of vaudeville like burlesque.
08/10/07
This entry does everything that made the first two mildly diverting buddy cop comedies inexplicably popular, of course, but it seems to be getting tired of the tomfoolery. So are we.
08/10/07
Rush Hour 3 is a stagnate yet still commercially viable franchise. It arrives on your theater screen infested with the mold of a dated, stale rehash.
