No matter how fast Chris Tucker shoots his mouth or Jackie Chan flashes his fists, they can't recapture the charm of the original Rush Hour in this third installment.

Like Lethal Weapon, this franchise has become lazier and less thrilling with each instalment. Hopefully, unlike Lethal Weapon, they'll stop at Part Three.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 17, 2007

The third installment is so cartoonishly stupid it makes the original look like a classic.

Full Review | Aug 14, 2007

There's a bizarre lack of anything to care about beyond the dynamic duo at the center of the film. Chan and Tucker can only carry an audience so far.

This movie makes a fine replacement for the previous two installments.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 11, 2007

Rush Hour 3 is an awfully spare title for such a big-money enterprise, but an appropriate subtitle like Auto Pilot or Once More For The Cash would have given the game away.

Full Review | Original Score: C | Aug 10, 2007

There's no doubt that Rush Hour 3 is anything but a mess. And yet there were moments when I found myself laughing giddily at the inanity of it all, and other moments when the picture was so beautiful to look at that I almost forgot its faults.

The 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.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 10, 2007

Rush Hour 3 is a blockbuster sequel filmed with the enthusiasm of jury duty and as barren of novelty as a burned-out souvenir stand.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 10, 2007

For those who still enjoy the formula, Rush Hour 3 will suit fine; but here's a vote for letting Lee and Carter dance into the sunset, having sung their last chorus.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 10, 2007

A half-hour of brilliance, preceded by an hour of dreck… a roughly comparable dreck-to-brilliance ratio to the first two Rush Hour movies, I guess, and par for the course for Jackie's Hollywood films.

Full Review | Original Score: C+ | Aug 10, 2007

Although the formula seems a tad tired, it's still more entertaining than most sequels to a sequel.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 10, 2007

This may be the best-looking film in the series; certainly, the Paris setting, with a climactic battle among the girders of the Eiffel Tower, keeps the visuals interesting. Better you buy a postcard.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 10, 2007

The movie aims for irreverent, but delivers irrelevant instead. Let's hope the Rush Hour series stalls here.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 10, 2007

After Max von Sydow played chess with Death in The Seventh Seal, he was condemned to hell: a prominent role in Rush Hour 3.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 10, 2007

The absurd plot has plenty of bang-bang but very little blood.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 10, 2007

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 10, 2007

None but the mad will want to see Rush Hour 3.

Full Review | Aug 10, 2007

They're back! That lovable duo, back to kick some ass and ogle some babes! Yes - it's Max Von Sydow and Roman Polanski.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 10, 2007

Amazingly enough Rush Hour 3 is as instantly forgettable as Rush Hour 1 and 2.
