Critics 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.

No matter how fast Chris Tucker shoots his mouth or Jackie Chan flashes his fists, they can't recapture the charm of the original Rush Hour in this third installment.

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

Film Frenzy

Somehow manages to be even lousier than the second film.

By the third time around, though, we know that these two get along and it's just not as funny anymore.

Rush Hour 3 was alright, but not as good as Rush Hour 2 or the original. But still it was super funny and action-packed. But I still liked Rush Hour 3.

I went into "Rush Hour 3" not expecting it to surpass the first two classics, and it didn’t—but I still had a great time with it. The dynamic between Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker remains the highlight, even if it doesn’t hit as hard as before. The humor was a mixed bag for me; some jokes landed perfectly (like the hilarious nun translation scene), while others felt like they were trying a bit too hard. The action sequences were decent, but they lacked the same spark that made the earlier films iconic. That said, the Paris setting did add a fresh backdrop, and the Eiffel Tower showdown was a fun touch. Max von Sydow and Hiroyuki Sanada brought some added gravitas, but the story itself felt a little predictable and lacked the charm of the first two films. Still, as a fan of the franchise, it was nice to see the duo back on screen one last time. If you’re a fan of the series, it’s worth watching for the nostalgia, the laughs, and a few genuinely great moments. It’s not the strongest in the trilogy, but it’s an entertaining sendoff.

By the 3rd film, the chemistry between these guys is the star of the show and the friendship (odd couple) shines through. The cab driver is undoubtedly a dark horse in this one. I wish they would have made a 4th film.

Rush Hour 3 is just fine. Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan don’t disappoint, but it was the story chosen that didn’t maintain their energy. Something in the film needed to match the first two to keep this entertaining franchise at an even level as the first two films. Grading: C

Not be the best trilogy and some of the jokes are great and others are too racial and offensive and there's a bit of weirdness behind the camera with Brett Ratner's perverted style.
