... View MoreThe 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.

... View MoreIf Chris Tucker's James Carter gallivanting in Hong Kong doesn't sound appealing to you, surely, you didn't see 'Rush Hour'. The dynamic 'Blackinese' duo return and they do so with a bite. We now have the situation completely reversed with Carter venturing into the unknown and Lee guiding him for the majority of the film. Carter's interactions with the locals and clashes with the more calm Chinese culture compared to his audacious, egocentric personality are really the highlights yet again. As I said, a hardcore African American making his way in Hong Kong is bound to be a laugh. Yet another stellar script and consistent directing from Brett Ratner help to ensure this sequel doesn't bomb out. A little less realistic, but then again, if you are familiar with 'Rush Hour', realism isn't the first thing on the agenda as much as action work and comedy play. The script was a little less compelling this time and seemed to be driven with a lighter direction in mind although it was interesting to learn a little more of the backgrounds of our two leads. Chris Tucker's loudmouth antics just about match up to his brilliant show in the original, his dialogue is as fresh, smooth, fast and excessive as ever. Oh, and did I mention as funny? He dominates the screen once again, takes charge and gives you his typical impulsive on-screen persona. Jackie Chan reaffirms his reputation as one of the world's best film stuntmen. His stunts yet again were terrifically executed and he was well supported by 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon' star, Zhang Ziyi. The 'bamboo scene' was comparable in awe-worthiness to the 'convention center' finale scene in 'Rush Hour'. Again as the more sensible and sedate Inspector Lee, his partnership with Tucker is as good as ever and the interplay once again is just plain, good fun. We also saw a shift in the love interest angle with the introduction of the seductive, sexy secret service agent, Isabella Molina played by Roselyn Sanchez. Her allegiances mysterious, she really sizzles in her role. Now that the duo finally have a beautiful woman to fight over, any guesses as to who wins? If I don't give this 5 stars, it's simply because in some respects, it's a rehash of the original, in the same way in which you would deem Lethal Weapon 1 better than Lethal Weapon 2 or Beverly Hills Cop 1 superior to its successor. If you did however enjoy the original formula, look into this. As I said, it is the same old thing in some ways, but in others, the Tucker-Chan combination still find ways to surprise and entertain. And yet again, do not miss the bloopers.P.S. Also don't miss Don Cheadle in surely one of the strangest roles you will see an African American man play. But a credit to him for it, he was outstanding.
