Admirable film.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

The acting in this movie is really good.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Rush Hour 2 is a great movie with a well developed storyline and a great comedic cast.I personally think fans of the first Rush Hour will not be disappointed,don't expect it to be much better,but it's just as good as the first.In certain aspects it has improved,the chemistry between Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker seemed a lot more genuine this time around rather than just acting and Chan's comedy acting has improved,in the first one you could tell English wasn't his first language and he didn't seem use to delivering comedic lines either,but he clearly got use to it after doing movies like the first Rush Hour and Shanghai Noon and really is use to acting in comedies now.As it is with the first,Chris Tucker is the highlight,a lot of his lines are clearly improvised and that's what makes so many of his scenes so funny.Rush Hour 2 is a very enjoyable movie that fans of the first will be impressed with and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good comedy or action. The LA cop and martial arts expert reunite once more to investigate an explosion at Hong Kong's US embassy.Best Performance: Chris Tucker

'Rush Hour (1998)' is one of my favorite comedy films and I usually don't expect much from sequels and as a result don't like them. I can happily say that 'Rush Hour 2' isn't one of these occasions. This movie picks off where 'Rush Hour' left and this film still stars Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker. Both still are hilarious and share that amazing chemistry. The plot behind this film is well thought off and the characters were great! The acting is fantastic, the dialogue is well written and the visual effects look great! However, the main strength lies with Tucker and Chan! ***SPOILERS***There were many hilarious scenes in this film such as when Carter confronts Ricky Tan and goes all crazy and gets both himself and Lee into a fight. The part where Carter accidentally punched Lee in the face was hilarious and the excuse he made up was hilarious! The ending to the movie is great as it clearly hints a sequel was on its way. The scene where Lee was spying on Isebella was hilariousThere were lots of great scenes to go with the movie***END OF SPOILERS***Overall, another must see!

Carter (Tucker) is back as the ultra manic cop from L.A. and once again is the perfect mismatch for the conservative Lee (Chan) as they bumble their way through police investigations this time in Hong Kong. Zhang Ziyi is at her nasty best with one of the finest angry faces on the screen, she alone is worth the price of admission. The movie is fast paced with a simple plot and lots of trademark characteristics from Tucker as expected.This is one of those movies that you probably need to watch at least twice to appreciate the funny side of. I have to say I did watch it many years ago at never even thought of watching it again. However, now I quote lines out of it along with my other family members and that dosen't start happening until you've watched a movies at least a half a dozen times, as we have.Highly recommended for those who are fans of Tucker, Chan, Zhang and can enjoy a movie without having to check for all the technical errors.
