Decent Films Guide
Follows so closely in the footsteps of its hugely successful predecessor that an actual review is practically unnecessary.

The action scenes are still good, but the comedy itself is very slight.

Film Freak Central
a series of high-decibel Chris Tucker improvisations alternating with a series of truncated Jackie Chan action moments.

If Chris Tucker ever comes to my house for dinner, he'd better bring some aspirin.

Film Journal International
Provides several opportunities for Tucker and Chan to do what they do best: Tucker performs comedy sketches, mostly unrelated to the plot, and Chan executes martial-arts fight scenes.

tries to coast along on the good will created by the first movie without adding a single dash of originality, creativity, or daring

Orlando Weekly
Rush Hour II is built on the flimsiest of premises for a sequel.
Cinerina
Chan's American movies benefit from a little more accessible storytelling and jokes, as well as no horrible, horrible actors as in some imports from the past.

While the rest of it isn't really any good, it's certainly no chore to watch.
Radio Free Entertainment
I'd like to say that Rush Hour 2 is simply an uninspired rehash of the original, but it's too much fun to slander like that.
