Rush Hour 3
Directed by Brett Ratner
Released August 10, 2007
This film takes the predictable route far too often taken by the latter installments in popular film series. The jokes are all pretty much the same old thing, the fight scenes are no longer enthralling, and even the relationship between our charismatic leads is not as fun as it should be. Worse than that, this installment picks up where the second one left off without even a passing thought to developing the characters or anything of the sort. Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker just start dancing to songs with no explanation as to why; audiences are just supposed to remember an arbitrary fact from the first films. This would be fine generally, but the gaping plot holes do not justify letting it pass. Sure, a good deal of the movie is funny enough, but the originality and fun of it all is almost completely gone.
