response2: Bill, I personally think that Rush Hour (3)'s humor surpasses the Bourne Trilogy's sense of action. Though I do agree that most of Rush Hour's scenarios are really ridiculous, the Bourne movies are not without impossible technicality flaws as well. I sort-of fell asleep during Bourne Ultimatum (there were some parts of the movie where they kept on talking and all I hoped for was for them to hurry things up and get to the point). However, during my second time seeing Rush Hour 3, I wanted to take a rest for the majority of the movie, but ending up watching it all over again from beginning to end; somehow the movie caught my attention, surprisingly for the second time anyway. But yes, I don't know who'd disagree with this, but it seems to me that Rush Hour3 is a purely a comedy movie that happens to involve some action.
response: No I did not feel the movie was completely boring. It lacked a complex plot yet had humor to help balance things out. However humor alone just won't cut it, therefore the movie was certainly not one of the best. Who expects it to be anyway?
Hey I've just seen Rush Hour 3 today. The plot was incredibly basic, the supporting character wasn't that pretty but it did have a lot of humor. That was basically it.
In any case, I will be planning this for the group for tomorrow at 10:00am at AMC 34th Street 14 theater. It has to be early because Jason sucks. Tell me you want to come. If not, then oh well. Also same meeting spot @ 9-9:30am and bring enough money.

what do you mean by basic? what is the plot? so you felt the movie was boring?
The plot of the movie is really more of the same from RH 1 n RH 2. But the real point for watchin tis movie is humor. Chris tucker n jackie chan are back n better than ever, at least in the humor sense, u no jackie chan cant move the WAY he moved years ago, but still good for 50+ years old man, looks in great shape. I personally thought the movie is very worth watchin. It is humor all through out, at least every 5 min or sumthin, the only serious moment was like lee sayin carter aint his bro. but seriously the singing part was hilarious/. Bill u should see it. Well im look for its release on dvd n watch 1 2 3 again
YOoo 1 2 and 3 don't even match. You gotta see Bourne Trilogy, thats wassup. i'll try to see it if i have time. but i'm pretty tired of lame black jokes and sometimes how movies create crazy scenarios for humor, like that freaking tall guy i see in the commercials, comeon that is so gay. so when im able to see the movie i'll tell you guys what i think about it
LOL you realize that you're comparing apples to oranges right? I think Bourne Ultimatum was the best action thriller this summer. give me a few examples of "impossible technicality flaws". Yo son, for me, it felt like there were nonstop action with brief moments for us to catch our breaths. Those breathers do not disappoint either because theres some funny scenes without being forced. for a movie that is very smart for its genre its a great mix.
I was saying before that i can't wait to see the Bourne Trilogy again b/c the movies get better and better. each sequel seems to get smarter and smarter and even more packed with action than the one before.
That sounds interesting that RH3 is a pure comedy when there is action in the movie, but you guys seem like you really enjoyed the movie
btw, i don't believe you when you said that you "sort-of fell asleep" during the bourne ultimatum :)
RH3 has a lot different kind of jokes, tis time jackie is more improve in the funny. The whole point of the movie is not action anymore. The director jus tried recreate the comedy, action is diminish due to agin of Jackie Chan. I had to agree wit Way on Bourne, a lot of the part was jus not interesting. I do agree the movie is good n better than previous bourne, but ultimatum's camera was wack. i just find shakin camera not my thing, especially when dey are jus talking. Rush hour, like way say, keeps u interested. It was hilarious. n the giant is not crzy scenario, he is guy from china who came to try to get to the nba, 7'10" i think. He is currently minor league due to criticism of speed n stamine. So the giant is not crzy, cum on 7'10" who is good at martial arts.
I saw rush hour 3 yestaurday. i notice that they tried to keep the plot loose. i think it was a smart move to just let the two vigilantes do their thing without making it repetitive by having detectives tell them its not their case. it was way more predictable than i imagined. you can tell that there will be an inside man jeopardizing the case, carter going after every hot girl, the racist jokes. the part with the giant was totally random, you can tell that he doesn't know a spec of martial arts. i will concede that there are some funny characters/scenes like the cab driver, but chris tucker can be annoying at times. I still think the bourne ultimatum was the best movie this summer although people don't appreciate the camera technique
way, you should put up a poll for best movie of the summer: RH3, bourne ultimatum, harry potter, transformers, or die hard
