This Kung Fu is too practised to make you go 'wow'. There is no Yoga except a couple of references in dialog, and you don't know if the movie is meant for kids or adults. Everything looks plastic and the story looks anything but legendary. Jackie Chan is better than his last film (so the one star!) and his drive with the Lion earns the other half.

Set during the World War 2, this romance between Wing Commander Max Vatan and Marianne Beausejour comes under the scanner when the spy agency suspects that Marianne is a German spy. Even though the cast is amazing, the plot plods along a predictable path, and the result is tiresome watch.

The film has a great premise: Evil needs to be evicted scientifically and it does not have a religion. Dr. Ember gets into the mind of the kid who has been taken over by the evil being and attempts to wake up the child by showing that evil is in the dreams. Although the film falters a bit in the execution, the idea of Exorcism that is not religious in nature is a welcome one. It has many creepy, scary moments even though the science in the movie is suspect.
