Rush Hour 3 (2007)

Touches You

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

For the third in an action-comedy series,"Rush Hour 3" is not half bad. Perhaps that should not be a surprise for a Jackie Chan film, because "Shanghai Knights," the second film in his collaboration with Owen Wilson, was even funnier than the first, "Shanghai Noon." In Chan's third film with comedian Chris Tucker, Jackie witnesses an attempt on the Chinese ambassador's life, and he springs into action with the aid of Tucker. Directed by Brett Ratner, who helmed the first two installments in the series, the film sends the pair to Paris in pursuit of the assassin, where they become involved with crime lords, the French police, a helpful taxi driver, Jackie's long lost brother, and some beautiful women.As expected in a Jackie Chan movie, the action is a non-stop series of martial arts fights, car chases, and explosions. A martial arts sequence with an extremely tall black belt and a group of young students is quite good, and a precarious fight atop the Eiffel Tower is especially well done. Tucker provides the wise cracks, which are generally funny, although his barbs that disparaged a large-size woman were in poor taste. However, the "Yu and Mi" exchange, reminiscent of the classic "Who's on First" by Abbott and Costello was funny. While there is nothing ground-breaking here, the film has plenty of action for Jackie's fans, and some good lines from Tucker; when you throw in appearances by Max Von Sydow, Philip Baker Hall, and Roman Polanski, "Rush Hour 3" is pretty decent entertainment for the third film in a series.

Rush Hour 3 was good and successful. It is not as violent as the first two movies, but has just as much humour if not better. The film will make you laugh a lot for sure. The story plot was good – all three of these films had good stories. What I loved the most about this film was the fighting scene with 7ft Chinese man – it's probably what makes the film unique compared to the previous editions because it doesn't have that. If this was going to be the last of the Rush Hour films then it's a fitting one, and makes it a fantastic franchise unlike for example the Die Hard franchise where they made a mess of it after Die Hard Vengeance. Rush Hour was a brilliant trilogy.

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.

Very funny! Love the last 2 movies and the same with all Rush hour movies. Rush hour has got to be one of my favorite movies of all time. Putting Jacky Chan and Chris Walker together is a great combination. They should do something like this a lot and make a rush hour 5. I love every rush hour because of the action and story plot. This makes it a awesome movie to watch.This also makes it very funny and action-packed movie. The rush hour movies should be on DVD so people can buy it and watch it. Movies like this are something for me to admire and to watch. This has got to be one of the best movies I've seen of Jacky Chan. Though you have Chris Walker in it to make it funny so this makes it something to remember.
