Comedy movie go'ers delight...
Just returned from watching Rush Hour 3 in the theatre. Who said sequels can't be of the same quality as the first? During my humble opinion Rush Hour 3 easily ties the first Rush Hour the only real advantage being the first had the component of surprise.
The writer's did a pleasant job tying the plot to the original movie. The plot is extremely basic but flows nicely. The stunts were fast paced, fantastic and mostly believable. Some of them went over the advantage but nothing beats MI3 or even the Die Hard series, which in my experience remained as good movies for various reasons. Sometimes you want to veg in a movie without having to consider anything.
Back to Rush Hour 3, prepare to laugh, laugh, laugh. Chris Tucker carries the entire movie and does a fantastic job in internet marketing! Kudo's for you Chris, such a great comeback. He's put on the few pounds but could still maneuver around the scene agilely. This really is no Academy Top rated performance like Eddie Murphy must have received for his astounding Dream Girls performance but Chris Tucker really shows his versatile skills.
Jackie Chan does a great job as well. He helps you to balance Tucker's wild and crazy antics and keeps them from crossing the road (like much of Martin Lawerences' work) from funny to simply plain stupid. It is all about timing and balance. The Chan and Tucker team definitely have in this hilarious sequel.
The asian cast had a number of veteran actors. Hiroyuki Sanada in the Last Samurai and Youki Kudoh from Memoirs of the Geisha.
The enormous international success of the Rush Hour series began in 1998 with Rush Hour and so the sequel Rush Hour 2 was launched in 2001. Based on Box office mojo, combined both of these movies have grossed over $350 million dollars domestically.
My theatre was packed and the general mood felt like the majority of of the movie goers enjoyed the flick. The film is nicely compacted into 87 minutes so you aren't a slave to such a long time you begin to wonder the reason why you arrived on the scene. If you like comedies this can be a must see. Despite an inadequate plot will still be remains very funny.
Below is one of the funniest dialogs presented within the movie:
Dojo Master: May I Assist you to?
Detective James Carter: I'm going to be asking the questions old man. Who're you?
Dojo Master: Yu.
Detective James Carter: No not me you!
Dojo Master: Yes I'm Yu!
Detective James Carter: Have you been deaf?
Dojo Master: No Yu is blind!
Detective James Carter: I am not blind, you blind
Dojo Master: It is exactly what I simply said.
Detective James Carter: You simply said what?
Dojo Master: I didn't say what, I said Yu.
Detective James Carter: That is what I'm asking!
Dojo Master: And Yu is answering.
Detective James Carter: Shutup!
Detective James Carter: You!
Dojo Master: Yes?
Detective James Carter: Not You, Him! What's Your company name?
Dojo Student: Mi.
Detective James Carter: You actually!
Dojo Student: I'm Mi.
Dojo Master: He's Mi and i am Yu.
Detective James Carter: And i am going to whoop your old ass man because I'm tired of doing offers!
Get out and show some fascination with Rush Hour 3 a few days ago. I'm betting this blockbuster is going to do quite nicely again in the box office.
