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 CriticLike Lethal Weapon, this franchise has become lazier and less thrilling with each instalment. Hopefully, unlike Lethal Weapon, they’ll stop at Part Three.
08/17/07
Top CriticThe third installment is so cartoonishly stupid it makes the original look like a classic.
08/14/07
Top CriticThe final, and anti-climactic, 'threequel' of the summer has nothing new to say. A staleness pervades the film, despite all efforts to inject freshness and excitement into a tired story.
08/10/07
Top CriticThey're back! That lovable duo, back to kick some ass and ogle some babes! Yes - it's Max Von Sydow and Roman Polanski.
08/10/07
Top CriticAmazingly enough Rush Hour 3 is as instantly forgettable as Rush Hour 1 and 2.
08/10/07
Top CriticIt seems fairly likely that this is a case of returning once more with a bucket before the well runs dry.
08/10/07
Top CriticThe 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 CriticDirector Brett Ratner, screenwriter Jeff Nathanson and stars Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker appear to be trying to save the planet one gag at a time by recycling as much material as humanly possible.
08/09/07
Top CriticJackie Chan and Chris Tucker have been through a lot together... Are they tired? Perhaps not, but their antics and action sequences certainly are.
08/09/07
Top CriticAt the risk of eternal damnation on the Internet, I admit to laughing at -- even feeling momentarily touched by -- Rush Hour 3.
08/09/07
Top CriticHelmer Ratner knows the Rush Hour routine by heart, and production values, even with several new contributors to the franchise (including solid lenser J. Michael Muro), maintain the franchise's sharp, shiny look.
