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

Consensus: Rush Hour 3 is a tired rehash of the earlier films, and a change of scenery can't hide a lack of new ideas.

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

Top CriticAmazingly enough Rush Hour 3 is as instantly forgettable as Rush Hour 1 and 2.
08/10/07
Top CriticAn embarrassingly flat-footed caper.
08/10/07
Top CriticTwo hours of non-stop, ear-shattering, humourless shrieking. It's simply unbearable. You soon find yourself begging for him to die.
08/10/07
Top CriticThe cinematic equivalent of a third-generation photocopy of a doodle barely worth a glance in the first place.
07/14/07
Top CriticIt seems fairly likely that this is a case of returning once more with a bucket before the well runs dry.
08/10/07
Top CriticThe junky, clunky, grimly unfunny Rush Hour 3 isn't the worst movie of the summer. But it's an enervating bummer nonetheless.
08/09/07
Top CriticDirector Brett Ratner, screenwriter Jeff Nathanson and stars Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker appear to be trying to save the planet one gag at a time by recycling as much material as humanly possible.
08/09/07
Top CriticThe division of labor is the same as in the first two films: Jackie kicks ass; Chris kicks sass. Ratner's challenge is giving the stars enough comedy byplay to keep audiences awake between the big action scenes, and RH 3 gets it done.
08/09/07
Top CriticHits the ground stalling.
08/02/07
Top CriticHelmer Ratner knows the Rush Hour routine by heart, and production values, even with several new contributors to the franchise (including solid lenser J. Michael Muro), maintain the franchise's sharp, shiny look.
