It had something going good, but th ending was just a bit too abrupt and it throws the other characters out the window. I thought the plot had a good foundation, but it just messed up in direction and certain parts were very predictable and some things just didn't make sense.
The first movie tended to center around Jackie Chan. The second centered around Chris Tucker. This one does a descent job of centering around both actors. It's like they are finally co-stars which was what I liked about the movie.
The humor is still top notch. While the action mostly up the ending was good, but not Jackie Chan's best but he still does some impressive stuff.
It's just the ending scene I didn't agree with because I'm a firm believer that special effects and Jackie Chan don't mix. Which was why I despised the Tuxedo. If you want to see one of Jackie Chan's greatest movies recently, I strongly say you watch New Police Story. I like how the movie really proves him more as an actor in comparison to his other movies where you only love him for his stunts and his acting doesn't really stand out.
I say this movie is better than what other summer movies like Transformers and Simpsons have to offer, but it still doesn't cut it. I thought the characters in this movie were used right but the story's direction is the main problem.
