Lay and I saw this last night at AMC Westshore. I was hoping that seeing it at Westshore might mitigate the noise problem I expected from a bunch of kids that might see it at Veterans. Unfortunately, the movie was spoiled for us by a lady sitting about three seats over. Her kid kicked the back of the seat in front of him though out the movie, despite the seat occupant giving them “the look.” But the worst was the lady herself carrying on a conversation with the movie during the entire show. Several couples in the moved. Why theater managers don’t do a better job of checking on noise, I’ll never understand.ÂÂ
The first two were pretty good comedy movies staring both Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker as cop partners with a typical plot with good action mixed with comedy. This one follows the same structure. If you liked the first two, you will most likely enjoy this one. There are, as expected, lots of action scenes and again Chris Tucker’s character delivers a lot of the jokes and Jackie Chan’s still got the awesome moves, but I thought this one was a bit more tame.
It was the usual plot that started with an attempted murder, the bad guy disguised as the good guy, and a kidnapping. It was good and I’m glad the series is still working but perhaps the series should end here. It’s hard to tell, but usually 3 movies is enough and the first one started like 10 years ago so its a rather large gap. The movie delivered a few laughs, some action scenes, and for what it was I thought it stayed true to its pedigree.
