Rush Hour 3

I saw Rush Hour 3 on sale in my local electronics store here at 10 euros. Not too bad a price, so I bought it. Watching my latest movie acquisition - I think it was ok for the price, however, it definitely falls short of Rush Hour 1 and 2. Same tricks, same stuff, same acts. Just only in a different location. Amazing coincidences that they - the cops - find out where the criminal's address is. I mean - talk about lucky to the point it's unrealistic. Yes, it's a movie and movies are meant to be unrealistic, but then there's unrealistic and then there's unrealistic. And this falls into the latter category.

Characters are so one-dimensional that it was so easy to pick out the baddie from the start. This happens when the movie just gets plain tired. To think they paid Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker a combined gross wage of 35 million US dollars to act in this. I'd have canned it a long time ago but that's Hollywood trying to con everyone out of their last dime in trying to breathe something into an almost-dead franchise.

I watched it once, and it was ok. Anymore and it'd be Snore hour 3.

I'd put this film at 2/5 if only for some occasional silly moments but other than that, there's nothing more.

Next movie coming up - Elizabeth the Golden Age.
