(1 - 35) of 35 OFCS Rating: 20% Rotten Page   1   "Most of the time while watching 'Rush Hour 3,' I couldn't help longing for another one of those hilarious Jackie Chan/Owen Wilson 'Shanghai' movies."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker C- "If you've seen one Rush Hour, you've seen them all."   FromTheBalcony   Bill Clark 2/5 "Rush Hour 3 is junk - witless, uncomplicated, consisting of disposable vignettes of vaudeville like burlesque."   PopMatters   Bill Gibron B+ "Rush Hour 3 isn't going to encourage intelligence anytime soon, but if you have a soft spot for silly adventure, it's a fine selection of wacky-go-boom."   eFilmCritic.com   Brian Orndorf 1.5/5 "a manic hobgob of shoot-outs, double-crosses, and absurd one-note jokes"   Filmcritic.com   Chris Cabin 1.5/5 "Instead of the playful banter that infested the second film, Chan's stiff delivery is punctuated by meaningless and exhaustive one-liners that pour out of Tucker like an oil tanker that just got the business-end of a torpedo."   Filmcritic.com   Christopher Null C ""Rush Hour 3" represents a final hour that has already passed."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey "It makes a case against "war" and in favor of buddies, across languages and expectations. That doesn't make Rush Hour 3 good, but it does put Carter's American excesses in a context."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 53/100 "Jackie Chan is stellar, Chris Tucker is lame and the film is, while proficiently produced, about as dumb as a sack of hammers."   Apollo Guide   Dan Jardine C- "Please, please don't make a fourth."   EDGE Boston   David Foucher 2/4 "The Rush Hour series comes to a close (hopefully) with this inert and entirely needless installment..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 2.5/4 "More of the same, only better."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman C "I'm not gonna lie to you: A lot of the movie is straight-up stupid."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 2.5/4 "...the results are pretty much the same old familiar ruckus {but] the pedestrian storyline is somewhat rejuvenated because Chan and Tucker administers the playful punches."   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng D- "A soggy, sorry mess. In a summer that's seen a lot of terrible sequels with 3 in the title, [this is] the worst of the lot."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 1.5/4 "It's hard to think of a sadder commentary about Hollywood's sequel fetish than the existence of Rush Hour 3."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3/4 "Reliably energetic entry in the lowbrow Tucker-Chan action-comedy series manages to be both smart and stupid at the same time."   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito 2/5 "Yvan Attal steals what is otherwise an exhausted, workaday film."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 3/4 "It lacks the relative freshness of the first installment, but it's noticeably better than the second one."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest B- "Six years after the second installment...it would seem that there is little to warrant Rush Hour 3, and yet in not expecting too much I was surprised how much of a good time I had watching it."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 2/4 "Just more redundant, cookie-cutter formula."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik "Can you understand the words that are comin' outta my mouth? This is racist, bullying garbage."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 2/4 "Like the cinematic equivalent of an old, reliable piece of furniture: although it predictably brings comfort, age ultimately catches up with it, and is simply isn't as refreshing as it once was."   Mr. Brown's Movies   Michael Dequina 2/4 "Rush Hour 3 is the movie equivalent of a paint-by-numbers picture. No matter how much color you slap on top of it, you can always see the numbers guiding you underneath."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan C "There is nothing new, nothing engaging, nothing to indicate that anyone is here for any reason other than the paycheck."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 1.5/4 "A sluggish repeat of its predecessors that remains mistakenly convinced that miscommunication between Tucker and co-star Jackie Chan is the funniest thing ever."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager .5/5 "The biggest loser in all of this is Chan, whose legacy over here won't be his 20 years as a martial arts pioneer, but rather his playing straight man to the likes of Tucker"   Film Threat   Pete Vonder Haar 1/5 "To describe it as lazy hackwork would be an insult to the phrase "lazy hackwork.""   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski 1.5/5 "Pretty agonising, from the misogynist display of female flesh to a truly horrific musical number to the no-longer-amusing closing credits outtakes."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline D "The material here makes one wonder how low you have to set the bar before it becomes irrelevant."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux C "After a six-year hiatus, the Rush Hour brand has lost its drive."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker "There's no doubt that Rush Hour 3 is anything but a mess. And yet there were moments when I found myself laughing giddily at the inanity of it all, and other moments when the picture was so beautiful to look at that I almost forgot its faults."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek C+ "A half-hour of brilliance, preceded by an hour of dreck… a roughly comparable dreck-to-brilliance ratio to the first two Rush Hour movies, I guess, and par for the course for Jackie's Hollywood films."   Christianity Today   Steven D. Greydanus 5/10 "This once-amusing East-West globe-trotting franchise has become formulaic but that probably won't discourage loyal fans from lining up at the box-office."   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger 2/10 "Proves that $25 million does not buy a good, or even bearable performance."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton  (1 - 35) of 35 OFCS Rating: 20% Rotten Page   1
