Rush Hour 2 (2001)
TOMATOMETER
AUDIENCE SCORE
Critic Consensus: Rush Hour 2 doesn't feel as fresh or funny as the first, and the stunts lack some of the intricacy normally seen in Chan's films.

The whole film plays like an outtake, and that I do mean as a compliment.
While the rest of it isn't really any good, it's certainly no chore to watch.
Less compelling than the first, but fun for fans.
A gaudy, whirling dervish of escapist fun.
A well-honed stunts-and-shtick flick.
Indubitavelmente superior ao original.
Audience Reviews for Rush Hour 2
Brett Ratner keeps the action and comedy coming at rapid fire pace in Rush Hour 2.This is an excellent example of a comedic-action film. The story consistently pushes and it never lets up. The fact that it's under 90 minutes also helps. The humor has its ups and downs, but more than not, especially with the amount of comedic dialogue provided, they are able to generate enough laughs.The stylized object oriented action and stunt work is good clean fun. The choreography is on the money while leaving the want for more.Jackie Chan's "out of country" personality works well in a film of this nature. Chris Tucker, while constantly spitting out line after line, manages to stay below the level of annoyance. Roselyn Sanchez and Zhang Ziyi compliment the male leads without fail. Watching Zhang Ziyi in the role she's given is a turn on.Rush Hour 2 entertains and that's all that matters. "Some apple?"
Super Reviewer
Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker have great chemistry, using their differences to their advantage. A good movie if your looking for just comedy.
Super Reviewer
Ahh, the classic sequel-syndrome. "Rush Hour 2" was not as good as the first. It doesn't improve in the action, story, or comedy but it tries too hard to be more grand. The production values is upped a bit but the direction, editing, and camera shots are still too elementary. Still a fun time though.
