Rush Hour 3 Reviews

* * * This review contains spoilers * * *ShowHide

Don't rent this film!!!

I very rarely turn a film off, but there is only so much I can take and this film had to go. I could not sit through the uncomfortableness that this film invoked in me. I watched it with my partner and my Mum and we were all in agreement about the crass humour and the awkwardness of this movie. I know 1 and 2 were not a wit fest, but at least they were enjoyable, this film just made me angry with its line upon line of sexist and racist jokes. At one point Chris Tucker is holding a gun to a taxi drivers head, because he said American's are violent and he doesn't like them, and forces him to sing the American national anthem! This same taxi driver picks them up later confessing that the car chase he experiences with them was so enthralling that he wants to be an American and starts using American lingo and donning American trinkets. This is so offensive, please don't bother you will be dissappointed!

An Eiffel of cop chaos.. this time in Paris..

On this third instalment our kick boxing cops are embroiled in a triad hit that sees them on the streets, and under the streets and above the streets, of Paris. It is another treat of fun and action in just the right measure, with some fantastic wisecracks, the womaniser par excellance 'Tucker' (well he thinks he is !) and some great fight and chase scenes. For me the whole thing is still fresh and entertaining enough to warrant a definate recommendation.

You are not my brother

Absolutely fantastic. Brilliant film, which is well worth watching if youve enjoyed the previous 2 Rush Hours. The comic just doesnt get old. This third installment, in my opinoin is very on the mark for a 12A rating, and there are definately a few comments within the film that are on the mark. But obviously, if it didnt have those in it, it wouldnt be rush hour. EXCELLENT overall, and well worth renting when it comes out. A+++ :D

Naff Hour

This was the most disappointed I've been in a movie for a long long time. I loved the first two rush hours so my hopes were high, but this was absolute drivel, and unfortunately RH now joins the ranks of classic moves that should have never had a 3rd part - eg Terminator. There was very little storyline, the Chemistry between Chris and Jackie wasnt as good, and in general the movie just bumbled along to a ridiculous climax, with a smattering of amusing moments. Im rating this so low, not just because it merits a one star, but for the let down factor as I expected great things.

JUST AS GOOD MAYBE BETTER THAT THE FIRST 2!

When me and my girlfriend watched this at the cinema I couldnt see anyone who wasnt laughing, I was in stitches as was my GF. I rate this film 5 stars as its as good as or even better than the first 2.

I hope there gonna make a fourth cant wait.

Watch this is you want side splittin humor once again.

poor play

Its bland but left a sour taste in my mouth. same old jokes from 1 and 2, no new fight sequences i stopped watching after an hour. the rush hours over.

I love my fast forward button

Just check the action scenes the rest is utter tosh with bad acting, stupid plot and lines.

OTT but oh so good!

Ok. I admit I'm a fan. The formula is there: the chemistry between the two is really good so we go back for more. With this one they did go OTT but a good time was had by all. I mean these guys are funny (I think so anyway), and there was more silliness than usual this time round, but hey I really enjoyed myself. A really big recommendation for these guys, they can do no wrong in my book, despite the OTT silliness. Rock on guys!

worse one

I can't believe the glowing reviews here of this movie!! Rush hour 3 is easiest the poorest entry to date. The troubled script went through dozens of re-writes by regular scribe jeff nathanson and after numerous attempts this thing still came out a dud. Nathanson is a good writer but this is just autopilot stock filler that was knocked up on his way to work. If you can't guess the bad guy within 2 minutes of this film then you've never watched a film before or have had a lobotomy. The jokes are very weak too and chan is now way too old for this stuff..he barely does anything in this film action wise..theres one scene which briefy shows his talents but thats it. At 55yrs old i think he should leave the fighting to youger martial artists. tucker is good but he doest have the material here that he used so well in the previous 2 films. Its not all bad,the end action scene is well handled and there 1 or 2 funny moments but compare this to the otehr two and its a bit of a rushed mess. I hope there is no part 4.

RUSH OR SNOOZE

TOO SLOW TO GET GOING.
