Featured review
Excellent sequel, just as exciting as the first!
This sequel is truly excellent, definitely one of the better sequels to come out, and elevates where the original left off to a greater level. Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker return as the double act, and Chan actually does more than he did in the predecessor in terms of action, and consequently is as lovable and vulnerable as always. Chris Tucker is very funny too, yet again his mouth runs away with him. On the most part, the script was perfectly agreeable, though the jokes could have been more fresh, and the plot, while clever and simple, wasn't as involving as the one in the predecessor, though there was an action-packed climax that was very satisfying. Putting these discrepancies aside, the action and the spirited performances from the entire cast, make this a very entertaining sequel. 8/10 Bethany Cox.
