Critics Consensus

Rush Hour 2 doesn't feel as fresh or funny as the first, and the stunts lack some of the intricacy normally seen in Chan's films.

Follows so closely in the footsteps of its hugely successful predecessor that an actual review is practically unnecessary.

The whole film plays like an outtake, and that I do mean as a compliment.

C+

Despite the presence of the terrific Zhang Ziyi as the dark lady, the movie cannot escape its stale "I Spy" trap of Formula.

1.5/4

With the freshness of the high-concept hook exhausted, little remains except some tired comic routines, OK action sequences, and a distasteful prejudice toward Asians.

5/10

Though fun, lighthearted, and action-packed, this sequel appears largely interchangeable with its predecessor.

Definitely less compelling than the first movie, but it was still a great watch! Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker's fun, jumpy spirits still fit in perfectly with the story, although there were less jokes than the first one. Overall, fun, with a lot of character growth and laughs!

Its humour overrelies on dated stereotypes, but charismatic performances make Rush Hour 2 a fine choice, aptly, when time is tight.

A classic action comedy with tons of entertainment. Chris Tucker is awesome, Jackie Chan, awesome and everybody else. I love this movie from start to end. Action packed that is thrilling. But, overall I give Rush Hour 2 a B+ or a 8/10.

The film completely drops the ball midway through the story. [SPOILERS] The story is about the duo finding out who committed an explosion in a building, but that gets ditched midway through the story and becomes a film about drugs and a casino ran by mobsters, looks like something Silvester Stallone or Arnold Schwarzenegger would do. But it did have some funny moments.

Quando uma fórmula funciona, Hollywood raramente perde a oportunidade de expandi-la. Rush Hour 2, lançado em 2001, chega como continuação direta do sucesso de Rush Hour (1998) e prova que a química entre Jackie Chan e Chris Tucker ainda tinha muito combustível para entregar. Com 90 minutos de duração, o filme mistura ação, comédia e policial, mantendo o ritmo acelerado da franquia, mas ampliando seu cenário ao levar a dupla para Hong Kong e Las Vegas, expandindo o universo da história. O resultado é uma sequência mais ousada, com mais ação, mais humor e uma escala internacional, consolidando a franquia como uma das mais populares duplas do cinema de ação dos anos 2000. Sequências geralmente enfrentam um desafio complicado: repetir a fórmula do sucesso sem parecer apenas uma cópia do original. A Hora do Rush 2 consegue contornar esse problema ao aumentar a escala da história. nota 8
