80Oy, it's such a pleasure that you'll be begging for Rush Hour 3.
-
80Winds up being faster and funnier than the first time. Chan's acrobatic high jinks play strikingly off of Tucker's wiseass humor.
-
80Superior sequel, which is the very model of the limber, transnational Hollywood action comedy.
-
75Action and comedy are more impressive here than in the first film.
-
75It hasn't got a brain in its body, but it's fun to watch.
-
75A winning combination. By some bizarre quirk of star chemistry, their persona complement each other, the action scenes have comic flair and the movie is mindless fun.
-
67Coarser, more hectic, more cheaply written sequel.
-
63This sequel succeeds as a slightly convoluted, paint-by-the-numbers buddy/action comedy with fast, funny banter and well-choreographed fight scenes.
-
63The co-stars genuinely like each other, and their pleasure is infectious.
-
63Except for its muddier than necessary photography, there aren't any surprises, which probably won't matter to the target audience.
-
60Feels out of shape and self-satisfied, as if it knew it didn't have to try very hard.
-
60The action and humor are enough to make an hour and a half pass quickly and pleasantly.
-
60Nothing more or less than a moneymaking encore. The story is functional. The performers assume their marks with almost flippant ease.
-
50If there's going to be a "Rush Hour 3," the filmmakers need more of the Ziyi/Sanchez women warriors to punch up the sagging cross-cultural buddy humor of the Chan-Tucker partnership.
-
50It's a fact that becomes riotously evident in the reel of outtakes that caps the picture and incites wonder about why no one thought to give us 90 minutes of those instead.
-
50Chan is still one of the most amazing -- and one of the most charming -- physical performers the movies have given us.
-
50Until a vigorous climax, the action scenes have little punch.
-
50It's about half as much fun as the original.
-
50This action comedy transforms LAPD detective Chris Tucker from an intolerably annoying egotist into a practically lovable intolerably annoying egotist.
-
40Should please undiscriminating fans. But it in no way improves on the clichéd formula.
-
40The movie is counterfeit too, a coarse imitation of a stylish star vehicle for stars who deserve the real thing.
-
38Tucker's scenes finally wear us down. How can a movie allow him to be so obnoxious and make no acknowledgment that his behavior is aberrant?
-
38The contrast between Chan's charm and physical prowess and Tucker's lack of same is even more dramatic in this tiresome, leaden sequel.
-
38Looks as if it were thrown together as carelessly as slum housing.
-
Summertime popcorn pictures don't get much goofier than this silly sequel, which is everything you'd expect and nothing you wouldn't.
-
30It's as light on its feet as a dead elephant. It's never clever or smart, nor is it terribly thrilling or engaging during its numerous fight sequences.
-
20The best parts of the movie occur during the outtakes, which are genuinely funny. The movie proper is insufferable.
-
20This movie doesn't just kill time but tortures it.

6Once again, lots of humor, martial arts, Kung Fu and action. And this time with a little more of sex references. Rush Hour 2 succeeds as a good film.
