Critics Consensus: Rush Hour 3 is a tired rehash of the earlier films, and a change of scenery can't hide a lack of new ideas.

The third installment is so cartoonishly stupid it makes the original look like a classic.
This movie makes a fine replacement for the previous two installments.
Rush Hour 3 is an awfully spare title for such a big-money enterprise, but an appropriate subtitle like Auto Pilot or Once More For The Cash would have given the game away.
There's no doubt that Rush Hour 3 is anything but a mess. And yet there were moments when I found myself laughing giddily at the inanity of it all, and other moments when the picture was so beautiful to look at that I almost forgot its faults.
The final, and anti-climactic, 'threequel' of the summer has nothing new to say. A staleness pervades the film, despite all efforts to inject freshness and excitement into a tired story.
Rush Hour 3 is a blockbuster sequel filmed with the enthusiasm of jury duty and as barren of novelty as a burned-out souvenir stand.
I hate to use the phrase, "they're only in it for the money," but if any sequel ever exemplified that ethos, it's this one. Ultimately, Rush Hour 3 is a one trick pony whose day has long since passed.
Although much of Rush Hour 3 is in Paris, it's no French pastry. It's more week-old Happy Meal.
I have never thought I would ever profess to be a Jackie Chan fan. Yet, at the ripe old age of 31 having just seen Rush Hour 3, it appears that I am.
No matter how fast Chris Tucker shoots his mouth or Jackie Chan flashes his fists, they can't recapture the charm of the original Rush Hour in this third installment.
The film is formulaic and the plot is barely connected together. But it moves along quickly and there's the occasional smile.
Rush Hour 3 is a stagnate yet still commercially viable franchise. It arrives on your theater screen infested with the mold of a dated, stale rehash.
There's not much reason for this film. There's nothing new in it and it's preposterous.
Super Reviewer
Third installation of the unlikely comedy duo. Lee and Carter find themselves in Paris hunting down the triads to save a girl.
Run of the mill, identikit police action comedy, worst than the first two because its just the same and no different, although the first was alright. Tucker is reasonably funny but Chan should retire, the ending is impressive at the Eiffel Tower but becomes way too stupid very quickly, they jump off the top for christs sake, its just so dumb and predictable.
was it inevitable that this franchise would falter so bad? probably. i loved the first two, but while this one had some good action and very funny moments, it also had some terrible action, stale jokes, and the chemistry between the characters faltered a lot mostly due to tucker i think. the terrible end killed this film for me, but to be honest, i'd still watch a 4th one in an instant.
