Review of Rush Hour 2 (2001) by Johnny T — 23 Feb 2011
Superior sequel, which is the very model of the limber, transnational Hollywood action comedy. Winds up being faster and funnier than the first time. Chan's acrobatic high jinks play strikingly off of Tucker's wiseass humor. This sequel succeeds as a slightly convoluted, paint-by-the-numbers buddy/action comedy with fast, funny banter and well-choreographed fight scenes. Winds up being faster and funnier than the first time. A 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. Chan's acrobatic high jinks play strikingly off of Tucker's wiseass humor.
VERDICT: "Better Than Anything" - Highest rating in the system (Extremely Positive reaction). Usually I give this rating to a movie that I believe is absolutely outstanding and has little to no flaws in it.
