That was an excellent one.
Sick Product of a Sick System
Absolutely brilliant
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
*Spoiler/plot- Rush Hour 2, 2001. Reunited n Hong Kong, this cop duo expects a vacation but get an international case. They're tracking a slippery female assassin and mysterious Triade mobster importing counterfeit American $100 bills to Las Vegas.*Special Stars- Chris Tucker, Jackie Chan, John Lone, Zhang Ziyi, Alan King, Roselyn Sanchez, Harris Yulin.*Theme- Teamwork and good communication among friends solve problems.*Trivia/location/goofs- Film sequel, watch for extremely funny 'behind the scenes' outtakes shown during the lengthy end credits. DVD is full of great additional material.*Emotion- This is one of the FEW sequel that breaks the customary "sequels are always bad" curse. An enjoyable to watch, fun, action packed well balanced film.*Based On- Rush Hour 1 exposition and plot.
Super funny comedy! Must watch! Lots of action! Great story line! Great for the family! I've watched it so many times! Hilarious! super great! Must see! Movie night! Very very good story line. The action is very well complimented by the comedy. This is a must see movie, super funny. It's perfect for the whole family, or just a movie night with friends, or even a bored plane ride. They go to china and America. They go to Las Vegas. The part where they go to the casino is funny. The massage parlor part maybe inappropriate for some children. The yacht scene is pretty funny. Over all this is a great movie and I recommend it to everyone. It's such a classic come movie, I've seen it a countless amount of times.
The first movie did very well with Audience, it gross of $33 million in America box office and gross $244 million worldwide so, obvious reasons for new line to make another installment in the rush hour franchise. someone at new line said,"hey let's get Jeff Nathanson, the man who wrote speed 2: cruise control!" what we got is a really really terrible sequel to a decent buddy cop film. The plot of the film is not as Interesting or complicated, is just bad guys doing bad guys thing which that's not what this franchise is all about, is about Jackie Chan and Chris tucker doing comedic things and the action scenes, which work alright in the first film but, here i don't know what happen here. the fight scenes in this film are pretty underwhelming. not because of shaky cam or anything, is because we don't see any spectacular or original fight scenes from Jackie Chan. is like a been there done that fight. Jackie's fight in this movie is not as good as his Hong Kong films.The humor in this film as unbearable, i can't believe this kind of humor is in this film. Chris Tucker's character was passable in the first film but here, every time he opens his mouth to try to be funny, it makes me want to slap his character in the face, he really got on my nerves. The one thing i really like in this film is Don Cheadle because, his scenes are the only thing i can stand in this film, the character he is portray is pretty cool and i kind of wish, he was in the movie more and went to Las Vegas to fight along side with Chan and tucker. there needs to be a spin off with this character like a novel, video game, comic book series, or anything. The main villain in this film Ricky tan bored me to death. i really could care less about the main baddie he is not that interesting and he has an anti-climatic fight scene with Chan. The Second Baddie is actually cool i will admit, Ziyi Zhang does a pretty good job on a character who can fight and doesn't speak English, her character i wish was the main villain. also, i wish Jackie Chan fought her at the end of the film instead of Tucker. The movie is pretty boring at times for me because, nothing good happen in the film. In conclusion rush hour 2 was a nothing of a film to me.
I personally enjoyed Rush Hour 2 more than the original, although the comedic premises of the original are still present in this film. This time, Carter and Lee find themselves "on vacation" in Hong Kong. While Carter wants Lee to let loose and meet ladies, Lee pursues a case involving Asian gangsters and counterfeit money. The addition of two seductive female leads, Hu Yi and Special Agent Isabella make this a very interesting sequel. In Rush Hour 2, Carter and Lee's friendship develops. The initial reluctance to work with each other is now gone, and Carter finds himself staying loyal to Lee even after all the mishappen adventures that he finds himself in with him, even when he's on vacation. This movie is a lot of fun. Although the stunts are a little outdated in this day and age, this is great comedy that can't be passed off.
