Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

The Movie Diorama This third instalment to the unlikely buddy cop duo is a guilty pleasure. Every fibre of this film is mediocre. From Ratner's direction, predictable plot, forgettable scenes and overuse of racial stereotypes for the script's jokes. Yet, the undeniable chemistry between Tucker and Chan disguises the apparent issues, that results in an entertaining watch. The dream team must partner up again as they travel to Paris to investigate the assassination attempt of an ambassador. Immediately, we are greeted with Tucker singing a song in his infamous high-pitch vocal chords as he guides traffic. Instantaneously the tone is set. Disposable comedic action that reeks of pure stupidity whilst remaining fun throughout. Chan's determined stunt choreography once again juxtaposes Tucker's interjectory comments that seemingly complement each other to create humorous action sequences. The cast were absolutely fine and dependable, particularly Sanada who will always be a personal favourite of mine. Regrettably the lack of inventiveness and imagination for the story consequently conjured up familiarity. It's the exact same formula as the previous two instalments. The script substitutes the astute wit that made its predecessors funny for obvious racism. It should be taken with a pinch of salt, as it is harmless fun, however when it is relentlessly overused it becomes tiresome and predictable. In relation to this, the plot itself can be predicted before the title credits appear. The story remains uninspired throughout and its abrupt closure leaves a sour aftertaste (even if it's a dance sequence). The poor visual effects during the Eiffel Tower showdown really took me out of the frantic action. Alas, I just can't hate this film. It's faster than a pair of chopsticks being used in a rice consuming competition. Several scenes producing a giant grin on my face, particularly the "He is Me. I am You." scene that still has me cracking up to this day. Yet Ratner was far too safe with this sequel, which ultimately makes it forgettable.

Reuben Saunders I just had an adventure in watching Rush Hour 3 for the first time. It's the last of Jackie Chan's most successful American film series, and unfortunately the worst. Nonetheless, Rush Hour 3 provides just enough laughs and fun action to be an enjoyable watch.It follows the story of the attempted assassination of Ambassador Chan and the following chase of the Triads that did it, along with the protection of a woman with knowledge of the organisation's secrets by the Blackenese duo Lee and Carter. Chris Tucker is just as charismatically black as in the previous Rush Hour films and Jackie Chan is exactly the same as usual – we would expect no less and no more — and yes, charismatically is a new word, I'm basically Shakespeare. The pair isn't quite as hilarious as in former films, however, because they aren't helped by a slightly dry script. The jokes are less free-flowing and are often drowned out by some over- seriousness and the boring score – not quite the funky jams as in Rush Hour 1 and 2. Characters like Max von Sydow's Reynard add nothing to the film, him standing out as a boring and serious English man who causes the film to go too long without a joke. All he does is slowly walk around and talk loudly about things you're not interested in. Chris Tucker can sometimes be seen wincing in the corner in these scenes.The plot is at fault, too. It's not a plot that doesn't work, but it's one that is a little too convoluted for what should have been a stupid action comedy like the other two. Admittedly there was some shizzle going on in 2, but in this doohickey things just keep on happening that just make the plot more complicated than it needs to be and takes away from the comedy. I mean, Rush Hour isn't supposed to be James Bond. It's Rush Hour. The story barely matters. Rush Hour is about high-pitched jokes and ridiculous action. It should be kept simple, that's what I'm saying.It ain't no film-ruiner though. It's still the same ol' Rush Hour. It's full of action and great Jackie Chan stunts – if some fights can go on a little too long. Chris Tucker may be slightly chubby but most of his jokes are as funny as they are in the other two movies. There's something about the acting in the film, however, that seems slightly rusty in comparison to the last two movies. In fairness, I do view the other two as Godly beings, so maybe I'm biased to those two over this one. But honestly, there is something less amazing about the performances in Rush Hour 3.The score is super boring too, I would like to reiterate. About the only funk in the film comes at the start and the end, the result being the movie feels a little at loss of its personality. The camera-work is a bit odd, too. There are some ambitious shots here and there that simply don't need to be there, and the shaky cam just reminds me of Man of Steel (not a good thing).Nevertheless, all the negative things about Rush Hour 3 aren't really that negative. It still manages to be a pretty good action comedy flick with just enough Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker jokage to keep it at a relatively high quality among other films of its kind.

mrjpleonardo It was really good to see these two back in action again. The chemistry that they have created. And from the first and second I have always found it hilarious and never get bored. I don't think in any film you have had two different characters like this either. The lines are hilarious and will always stick to you. The third sequel one had to go away with a bang, I would love to see them do to another one for old time sakes. I've been a big rush hour fan from the first to now, this type of film can go on with as much sequels without it being boring. From the beginning to the end I was in tears, and I would highly recommend it.

convincing60 Rush hour 3 is a joke, Rush hour 1 and 2 were far better than this piece of trash. I am huge fan of Chinese Chan and Black Guy Tucker but Rush hour 3 is a load of garbage and doesn't feel like a Rush Hour movie.It seemed after the first two Rush hours that this one would be great but I was wrong. This was a load of garbage from start to finish. I like the first rush hour because it was original and was entertaining, and Rush Hour 2 had many funny comedic scenes but this one is pretty basic and very-very predictable.Case in point, Rush hour 3 seemed as if a monkey wrote it, it is such a waste of garbage and a whole load of bullshit. I don't get how people like this garbage. Anyone thinking about watching this movie, really shouldn't. It's a huge waste of time and money.
