Rush Hour 2 movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Glenn Lovell, San Jose Mercury News: Comes off as a lot more cynical than comic -- yet another example of Hollywood riding a semi-amusing bit -- SPLAT! -- into the ground. Read more
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: You may not get your money's worth, but you can't say you don't get what you asked for. Read more
Charles Savage, Miami Herald: Action and comedy are more impressive here than in the first film. Read more
Robert K. Elder, Chicago Tribune: Succeeds as a slightly convoluted, paint-by-the-numbers buddy/action comedy with fast, funny banter and well-choreographed fight scenes. Read more
Susan Stark, Detroit News: Director Brett Ratner efficiently delivers on audience expectation at every turn. Read more
Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News: There's a retrograde quality to the process of turning a surprise hit into a predictable franchise. Read more
A.O. Scott, New York Times: Though it lacks some of the high-spirited spark of the original -- it often feels like the fifth or sixth rather than the second in a franchise series -- the action and humor are enough to make an hour and a half pass quickly and pleasantly. Read more
Melanie McFarland, Seattle Times: Delivers its share of laughs, but offers nothing you haven't already seen. Read more
Peter Howell, Toronto Star: Better than its predecessor, and that goes for everything from the fight scenes to Chan's grasp of English. Read more
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Of course, there's Chan -- a thing of beauty and a joy forever. Especially when he's wiping up a massage parlor with the bad guys. Read more
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: Lacking in spontaneity and freshness. Read more
Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle: Watching it is a soul-numbing experience, but that probably won't keep it from being a big hit. Read more
Steven Rosen, Denver Post: Nobody expects this to be, say, The French Connection, but it should make a little more sense. Read more
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: The choreography, while still delightful, is inevitably less intricate. Read more
Kevin Courrier, Globe and Mail: Provides a little dance in its step to lift it above the shrill or the innocuous. Read more
Gene Seymour, Newsday: It's possible to detect a somewhat calmer, more controlled disposition in this sequel compared with its predecessor. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: Everything about Rush Hour 2 is obligatory, from the action to the tiresome banter. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: How can a movie allow [Tucker] to be so obnoxious and make no acknowledgment that his behavior is aberrant? Read more
Charles Taylor, Salon.com: While the rest of it isn't really any good, it's certainly no chore to watch. Read more
Wesley Morris, San Francisco Chronicle: As long as it's entangled in multi-culti absurdity, Rush Hour 2 is actually a better time than the first one. Read more
Richard Corliss, TIME Magazine: The film seems content to rely on the formula that could (small sigh) extend for a few more sequels. Read more
Mike Clark, USA Today: Even the addition of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon's spunky Zhang Ziyi to the cast can't get Rush Hour 2 out of the sequelitis quagmire. Read more
Robert Koehler, Variety: All of the original's formulas and alternating tones of goofball antics and deadly serious conflict are studiously yet fluidly preserved in this superior sequel. Read more
Michael Atkinson, Village Voice: Slack, unfunny bit of new-century vaudeville. Read more
