Sorry, this movie sucks
Great Film overall
Good movie but grossly overrated
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Plot; A Chinese detective is paired w/an American counterpart in an effort to find the kidnapped daughter of a Chinese Consul. Brings absolutely nothing new to the buddy cop genre, but Jackie Chan's acrobatics are always a treat and Chris Tucker is far less annoying than I remembered him being.
'Rush Hour' is an average, generic action/comedy movie that is saved by the duo of Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan, who are frankly the only thing about this film that makes it somewhat interesting. The storyline is weak and lacking imagination, especially for an action film.Tucker and Chan's chemistry and their on-screen relationship is by far the best thing about this film. For a so-called comedy, the script isn't particularly funny and any amusing moments are mostly down to Tucker and Chan acting silly. That's as far as the positives extend, everything else about this film is very average.
After watching the movie's name "rush hour", I'm just have to say that I'm so impress at the way the director created the story. Every body knows this movie's about a girl whom father's a rich person is kidnapped for money, with the help of 2 inspectors one from LA official and another's HongKong one that can help the girl out of danger situation. Along with the humor and thrilling at the writing style of two main characters by Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker, the movie's become more melody and funny but it's also have some several fight scenes at the same time. About the detail which I impressed most is when the little girl in car and sung a pop song. Well, I think it's so funny and i had had a great time after watching it.On of the highlight in this movie's the way they create character personality. I'm totally interested in the "black" cop. He makes people believed that he's such a wise guy. Some people recommend about him as a negative personality because he doesn't help the case at all, sometime he just makes it more mess.But he's the most important to solve the case, without him the girl can escaped, his partner may gonna be died and so on. In conclusion, I love this movie at the way they ending it. No twist in this case that watcher don't understand, characters's all happy and the most important's it showed that "justice always wins"
I saw Max Landis talk about this movie on Twitter, but I didn't pay much attention to the conversation. My dad and I were looking for movies to watch on Netflix, and Rush Hour popped up. Since we wanted to watch an action comedy, it seemed perfect. Rush Hour is absolutely hilarious! Most of the comedy comes from the clash between two main characters. There are cultural and characteristic differences, which are so much fun and cause a lot of misunderstandings and unfortunate but hysterical situations.Rush Hour is definitely a thrilling action movie. It just happens to be predictable as well. You know what's going to happen, because you've seen tons of movies like this one. What makes that better is that you don't know how it's going to happen, so Rush Hour - and all the other movies such as this one - may still manage to surprise you by taking you to the predictable destination by different means than you expected. And usually no one expects action comedies to be completely unpredictable, even if the old, boring ways are annoying. Action comedies are fun, and the movie being fun and thrilling is more important than it being unpredictable and completely new.Hand to hand combat scenes are a pleasure to watch. They are well coordinated and the choreography is incredible. Most of that is because of Jackie Chan's wonderful talent.Not only is Jackie Chan talented, he's absolutely charming. I've only seen him in the Chinese movie The Twins Effect (or Vampire Effect) in a small role, and this is the first time I saw him playing a main character. Of course the character he plays - Lee - is a bit typical, but still delightful. Chris Tucker, on the other hand, played a really typical character when it comes to a black man in an action comedy, but I'd rather blame the director and writers than him. I've seen him before in Jackie Brown and that one David O. Russell movie I barely remember watching. Both characters are lovable and their chemistry works. Different characters would've made the movie a whole lot different.I definitely liked this movie. My dad already asked if we're going to watch the sequels. Damn right we are. I don't know if the stories will be as interesting, but I love the characters more, and it will be interesting to see how their chemistry works now that they know each other better in the sequels.
