Singh is King is a perfect example of a great first half ruined by an average second. The pre-interval portions of the movie are filled with hilarious scenes.

• Happy chasing a chicken only to end up ruining the whole village is side-splitting.
• The scenes between Tony and Happy in Egypt and Australia. The dialogues are rib tickling, especially a few by Tony (Om Puri).
• The way Singh (Happy) becomes King is brilliantly written, enacted and executed.

After the extremely entertaining first half, you expect an even better second. Unfortunately, it pales in comparison. The song picturised on Javeed Jaffrey was unnecessary. Also the lack of scenes between Tony and Happy is a negative as their chemistry was brilliant. The climax seemed to be hurried up and before you realise the movie comes to an abrupt end.

Another aspect that could go against the movie is, at times it’s hard to understand the Punjabi dialogues. Also at times in the first half, the voice is not in sync with the lip movement. Wonder why such minor flaws are overlooked in an A grade bollywood movie.

The music is above average. Few songs like ‘Teri Ore’ and ‘Singh is King’ title track standout.

Kung Fu Panda" features Jack Black as Po the Panda, a lowly waiter in a noodle restaurant, who is a kung fu fanatic but whose shape doesn't exactly lend itself to kung fu fighting. In fact, Po's defining characteristic appears to be that he is the laziest of all the animals in ancient China. That's a problem because powerful enemies are at the gates, and all hopes have been pinned on a prophesy naming Po as the "Chosen One" to save the day. A group of martial arts masters are going to need a black belt in patience if they are going to turn this slacker panda into a kung fu fighter before it's too late

The first Mummy movie was a rousing pulp adventure, giving us Brendan Fraser at his wise-cracking best as the slightly bumbling rogue Rick O'Connell.  It also gave us the beautiful and talented Rachel Weisz as the heroine, Evy.  By the end, a Mummy had been vanquished, the guy got the girl, they ALL got the money, and everything was grand.

Then they did a sequel.  It wasn't as good as the first, but it was still fun.  Rick and Evy were married, had a precocious 10 year-old kid, and a cult revived the original mummy for more mayhem.  Not bad.

Now there's a third installment, The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, and the tomb is full of trouble.  First, let's talk casting.  The original Mummy movie was a scant nine years ago, with the sequel two years later.  This time around, Rick and Evy's son (he was ten in the sequel, only seven years ago - two years after the first movie), is all grown and out digging things up himself.  He's played by an actor who is 27 years old, and looks every year of it, making all the tender father/son bonding moments just a bit creepy, since Brendan Fraser still looks like he's in his  thirties (for the record, he's just 13 years older than the actor playing his son).

They've also replaced Rachel Weisz, whose chemistry with Brendan Fraser helped make the first two movies, with Maria Bello as Evy O'Connell.  It just doesn't work.  The accent is all wrong and the chemistry is flat.  It kills that whole aspect of the movie.

The backstory pretty much rips off the first movie, setting up an ill-fated love triangle between a powerful leader and two of his minions, one of whom has powerful magic, which ends up in the big bad being cursed to the realm of the undead.  One of our heroes inadvertently helps free the "mummy" (we use quotes, since no undead in this film were actually embalmed and wrapped in cloths), and everyone has to band together with the help of some mysterious locals who have been watching and waiting for bad things to happen for thousands of years, to save the day.

Of course, at heart this is an action movie, and there's plenty of that.  Harrowing landings in the Himylayas, fights with Dragons, and battles between undead armies allow for plenty of CG fun, and that's where the movie works (the three 8 to 10 year-olds we took enjoyed the heck out of it).  But one fight scene between Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh was not enough to make up for the gaping story problems. The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emporer is a poor third installment to the Mummy series.

Wired: Decent action, Michelle Yeoh and Jet Li
Tired: Plot, poor casting choices.
