Rush Hour 2

A hundred percent less action-packed and a hundred percent more talky, that’s not a very good combination. And when you add already the quite exhausted and worn-out protagonists dropping exactly the same catchphrases as a few years ago, the unlikeable villains, and the poorly directed action scenes, it doesn't result in any masterpiece. A likeable secret service agent and a few tricks and moves of the Eastern stars are alright, but otherwise, there really is no reason to see this movie once, let alone multiple times. (10.05.2008)

I’m quite satisfied. I might be a silly B-movie, but the craftsmanship is excellent, fresh and pretty fun at times (I’m among the few who doesn’t mind Inspector Carter), so I’ve no problem watching it whenever they show it on TV. It’s a pity that the final confrontation is rather lifeless, the rating could have been higher. 70% (30.03.2020)

This has exactly the same format as the first one. The main thing is that Chris Tucker is a whiny jerk who makes trouble just by yelling, while Jackie Chan is a pretty honest guy who also tries to add in some comedy. The plot is boring and unsurprising, even though it thinks otherwise. It's just not as much fun the second time around because accusations of racism are pretty boring. The film is much more contrived and exhausting than can be tolerated. (16.03.2014)
