Rush Hour 2 – Review by Leo

            For those of you who have seen Rush Hour and the hilarious sequel, you’ll all know what I’m talking about. For a good laugh, and I mean REALLY good laugh, this is the numba one movie to go for! It contains jokes and humour, a fantasic story that balances all the good fun and funny-bone tickling, and great characters played by your favourite actors.

Excitement Factor –
     There is absolutely no need to explain the details. Like I said, this movie will keep you on the edge of your seat with action-packed scenes and will bruise your funny-bone to the marrow! The stunts are great and the vigour of the actors are all expressed where they are needed.

Story –
     I have to say, for a movie dedicated to jokes and humour, the storyline towers above all other movies. The dangerous gang known as the Triads are on a viscious smuggling role of importing millions of counterfeit U.S. bills that only 14/15 U.S. banks could tell the difference. As always, detective Lee and “agent” Carter are on the case again. They are in Hong Kong celebrating their last victory when a devestating phone call hits their vacation.

      Triads are discovered, police rush to the scene, jokes, some crazy Kung-Fu action, more jokes, Triads capture Lee and Carter, more and more jokes, finale duel, Triads get their butt kicked, and finally, jokes. I can’t say anymore!

Music, Picture, and Whatever –
     The music is a bit weird…but it works. It combines the tunes of traditional Chinese music to that of the modern Western music. It isn’t that great and it isn’t that bad either. It’s good as it is, I shoud properly say. =) Picture is altogether breath-taking. It doesn’t contain all this slick 3D computer graphics, and movies like this shouldn’t have any. The stunts and scenes are good as they are. No need changes! Anything else? Ummm…..no.

Overall Rating –

5 stars… “cuz they all look alike!”
