Question

  Do you like sitting on the edge of your seat? How about falling off it laughing? If so, Rush Hour 2 is the perfect movie for you. Although it didn’t get the best reviews，it is perfect for those who like a good comedy.

Just as in the first Rush Hour, Inspector(检察官) Lee(Jackie Chan) and LAPD Detective(侦探)   James Carter (Chris Tucker) are partners. This time,they are on vacation in China and Carter is looking for a good time,but they are on the job again when a bombing at the American Embassy(大使馆)   kills two customs officers. Lee and Carter go to look for a suspect(嫌疑JE) named Ricky Tan. For Lee this is a serious case because Tan kills his father. Will Carter and Lee be able to capture Tan?

Another reason to see this movie perhaps is for the thrilling action,which includes karate fights with Jackie Chan.One of my favourite scenes shows Carter and Lee are in a massage parlor(按摩院)   when everything goes crazy.

Rush Hour 2 is，of course,really funny with Chris Tucker being the leading role. Chan and Tucker have many clever jokes and remarks. Some of the jokes aren’t enjoyed by the critics,but most will find them entertaining.

With no doubt,the movie is great. I was filled with anxiety about what

was going to happen next. Many critics said that sequels(续集)   were not as

good as the original but I think this one is great. I especially enjoyed it because the special effects are minimal,so everything looks as though it actually happened. The lighting effect is great as well as the sound.

So，if you are looking for a great action movie that leaves you at the edge of your seat and makes you laugh quite a bit，you should rush to see Rush Hour 2 .
