Continuing my movie-watch-and-kill-holiday-time run, I saw the third part of Rush Hour today. Nothing’s changed in it. Chris’s still the reason I liked it, Jackie’s still the reason I enjoyed it. And as always, the credits are crazy too!

Though compared to Rush Hour 1 and Rush Hour 2, this one is a bad one. Jackie’s getting too old. He should be playing Pat Morita roles, as is rumored now. Chris Tucker, he should try Opera singing, he’ll rock the Operas.

I’d rate it a 7/10. Medium entertainer, worth killing a lazy afternoon for it.

I wish the fights were more fun like the first part.

Saw the first part (Die Hard 1) today, and it was very good! Just enough action per frame to keep one going without scrolling the bar front.

But funny thing about the movie is that there are some rather weird scenes and lines. Like for example that media thing. There wasn’t a need for showing that media guy’s rise to fame and that punch at the end, etc. Likewise, when the LAPD first attacks the building, the soldier running across the bushes makes a silly ouch as if some rose thorn pricked him. No connection to the movie whatsoever *shakes head*.

But Bruce Willis, he totally rules! This is the oldest movie of his I’ve seen so far. He hardly looks like his young self anymore! And the movie wasn’t bad at all for a 1991 one. It was realistic in its approach too, unlike most of these bollywood movies that still are.

I’d rate it a 9/10.

Next up is of course, Die Hard 2 and Die Hard 3. And if I can get 4 later, perhaps that too.
