Like Lethal Weapon, this franchise has become lazier and less thrilling with each instalment. Hopefully, unlike Lethal Weapon, they’ll stop at Part Three.

Pretty agonising, from the misogynist display of female flesh to a truly horrific musical number to the no-longer-amusing closing credits outtakes.

Disappointing threequel that lacks the spark of the previous two films and resorts to grafting dreadful jokes and lacklustre action sequences onto a nonsensical plot.

Look, it’s so dumb, I could easily give this one star – but I’m giving it two. It was entertaining, so sue me.

Only the prospect of the outtakes and Chan's flubbed chopsocky stunts kept me going to the end, and even they turned out to be duds.

They're back! That lovable duo, back to kick some ass and ogle some babes! Yes - it's Max Von Sydow and Roman Polanski.

If this is car-crash cinema, it is a motorway pile-up of the sort that leaves a ten-junction tailback.

Amazingly enough Rush Hour 3 is as instantly forgettable as Rush Hour 1 and 2.

Depressingly, the legendary Max von Sydow and Roman Polanski pop up in small parts. They must have been desperate for the cash. My advice is to save yours.

The curse of the terrible 'threequels' continues with Rush Hour 3. Infecting this third movie is an extra, deeply unpleasant level of racism that we haven't seen before in the series.

Two hours of non-stop, ear-shattering, humourless shrieking. It's simply unbearable. You soon find yourself begging for him to die.

You have to wonder, what Max Von Sydow and Roman Polanski are doing propping up the cast of a picture whose action beats, if neatly staged, can't hold a candle to The Bourne Ultimatum's, and whose so-called comedy depends on reinforcing insulting ra

The cinematic equivalent of a third-generation photocopy of a doodle barely worth a glance in the first place.

The film is formulaic and the plot is barely connected together. But it moves along quickly and there's the occasional smile.

Rush Hour 3 is a stagnate yet still commercially viable franchise. It arrives on your theater screen infested with the mold of a dated, stale rehash.
