OVERALL
I saw this movie at a midnight showing, ready to laugh. I really enjoyed the first Rush Hour, and I even liked the second one. But wow. This movie was actually kind of sad to watch. Chris Tucker wasn't funny at all, and Jackie Chan actually looked... old. It's like director Brett Ratner was trying to make the first movie all over again, without realizing the jokes aren't as funny the second time around.
PRO vs. NO
PRO: I have to say, the cab driver who loved American things was a little funny. Just a little.
NO: Everything else. The jokes all fell flat, the action scenes didn't work, and the jokes about Chinese were just... not just racist, but kind of mean. Maybe it was just me. Oh, and the Mi and Yu jokes... wow... just horrible.
SEVEN WORD FINISH
"How do you say surrender in Chinese?"
FINAL BELL
-- 0.5 out of 5 -- Ugh.... UGH!
WORTH THE PRICE OF ADMISSION?:
Do not watch this movie. Ever. Go see Shanghai Knights instead. A much better film.
