Movie Review: Thrilling Threquels

I saw Rush Hour 3 during the last weekend and The Bourne Ultimatum during this one. I enjoyed both movies. They give you what you expect of them.

Rush Hour 3 is entertaining with simple story, crazy stunts by Jackie Chan, stupid goofs by Chris Tucker and in general clean fun. Every one has come to expect the clippings of failed takes at the end of a Jackie Chan movie and you get them too.

Here is one such:
Jackie Chan (in a senti scene): "You are not my brother"
Chris Tucker : "Man! You say this after Rush Hour 1 and Rush Hour 2?!"

:-)

Bourne Ultimatum is a really good action thriller. Good acting, amazing action sequences and a gripping story line; very thrilling and it doesn't let up until the end. The back ground score is awesome and it adds a lot to the tempo of the movie. It is not just the thrill-a-minute action that was great about the movie, the questions of the first two movies are answered and the story reaches a meaningful conclusion.

All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and it is a must watch, if you ask me. If you liked Bourne Identity and Bourne Supremacy, there is no way you would want to miss this.
