Rush Hour 3 Better Left Unmade

So after seeing Bourne Ultimatum, I was again willing to give another one of these three-quels a try.

Thus far, I’ve seen Spiderman 3 and was disappointed. Uncle Ben died in the first flick, stop with the rehashing. No more long speeches from Aunt May please. It would have been great if they had left out the Sandman altogether, and focused on Gwen Stacey and Eddie Brock (Venom). But that didn’t happened, and all the crying by Peter was a bit much. And don’t even get me started on Harry (rolls eyes).

I saw Pirates of the Caribbean 3 and that was one loooonnnngggg turkey. It was incredibly boring and NOT funny. And the ending was total bollocks.

I saw Shrek 3. I had no expectations. I thought the first two flicks were over-rated. But the third was alright.

Well, because Bourne Ultimatum seemed to buck the trend of suckiness for the three-quel, I was willing to give Rush Hour 3 a try. Tsk, tsk, tsk. What a waste of my time. It had made-for-tv or direct-to-dvd written all over it. It was the ultimate Hollywood con that anyone was tricked into a theater to see this poor simulation of a movie. It was obvious that Jackie Chan was not into this flick. And Chris Tucker often walks a thin line between pure annoyance and actually being funny. Here, he was simply annoying. Everything seem contrived and utterly stupid. It also would have been great if they could have dispensed with the concentration on race. This is the third movie y’all. We get it. Jackie Chan is Chinese. Chris Tucker is black. Hardy, har, har. (gags)
