'Man of Steel' review: Cavill, solid effects make it worth a watch

What I missed more than anything else in 'Man of Steel' is the old-school humour and charm of the 1978 Superman film, starring Christopher Reeve, that many of us grew up watching. The new reboot, directed by Zack Snyder and produced by Christopher Nolan, is a mostly somber affair - which shouldn't really be surprising if you think about it, given that neither is known for his lightness of touch. Both, in fact, take their comic book culture very seriously. So don't expect a quick dash into the phone booth, or a cat that needs rescuing from a tree. No! Our hero doesn't even put on the suit until well over an hour into the movie.

'Fukrey' review: Too many gags, not enough plot spoil the film

Four slackers in Delhi seeking fast cash make a deal with a ruthless don. But when things go wrong, as they inevitably do, they must pay the price for it. That familiar premise gets a fresh coat of paint in 'Fukrey', with co-writer and director Mrighdeep Singh Lamba putting a new spin on some old clichés. Yet, while individual scenes inspire laughs, the film doesn't quite fly because there are too many gags and not enough plot.

Now Showing: Masand reviews 'Yamla Pagla Deewana', 'After Earth'

Rajeev Masand says 'Yamla Pagla Deewana' isn't all bad, but at 2 hours and 35 minutes it's overlong and repetitive and doesn't offer anything original.

'After Earth' review: Prepare to be bored out of your mind

Clearly intended as a vanity project to showcase his 14-year-old son Jaden's action-hero skills, 'After Earth', conceived and produced by Will Smith, is part-sci-fi, part cautionary tale, yet always a snooze-fest.

'Yamla Pagla Deewana 2' review: The jokes run out faster than popcorn

It's not even a key moment in the film, but the image of Dharmendra and an orangutan riding a scooter, swaying joyously to the tune of 'Yeh dosti hum nahin todenge', is a fair representation of the standard of comedy in 'Yamla Pagla Deewana 2'.

'The Hangover Part III' review: Keep your expectations in check and you won't be disappointed

There's no way any fan of the first 'Hangover' film can honestly claim that 'The Hangover Part III' is as much fun. There are a few good laughs to be found in the new film, but it's not nearly as outrageous as the 2009 original. In an effort perhaps to please all those who criticized the second film for being a carbon copy of the first, director Todd Phillips ditches the blackout gimmick from the previous two movies, throws out the "what-happened-last-night?" narrative device, and goes in an entirely different direction this time.

'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani' review: If you are seeking light-hearted mush, you're looking in the right place

How much you enjoy 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani' depends entirely on how much you've missed the typical Karan Johar formula. 'Wake Up Sid' director Ayan Mukerji takes us on a familiar journey through holiday romances, family conundrums, and big fat Indian weddings. It's predictable every step of the way, but Mukerji has a superb cast that never slips, even when his script does.

Now Showing: Masand reviews 'Ishkq in Paris', 'Fast & Furious 6'

CNN-IBN's Entertainment Editor Rajeev Masand says 'Ishkq in Paris' is the sort of film that inspires its director and its leading man to assume aliases so they might escape responsibility for subjecting us to this travesty they've committed to the screen, while like a well-oiled engine, the 'Fast & Furious' series can be counted on to deliver what it promises on the box.

'Ishkq in Paris': It is a misguided, overwrought affair

'Ishkq in Paris' is the sort of film that inspires its director and its leading man to assume aliases so they might escape responsibility for subjecting us to this travesty they've committed to the screen. Leading lady Preity Zinta, unfortunately, is too well known to hide behind a fake name.

'Star Trek - Into Darkness' review: The film won't bore you

Even if, like me, you weren't a fan of the Star Trek universe, or were mostly unfamiliar with its 40-year-old legacy, you'd have to admit that JJ Abrams' 2009 reboot was a fresh and accessible stand-alone sci-fi adventure.

'Gippi' review: Many of the film's better ideas are lost in execution

School can be a difficult place if you're overweight, awkward, not particularly bright, or clumsy on the sports field. Gurpreet Kaur, the 14-year-old protagonist of Gippi (Riya Vij), ticks all the boxes.

'Go Goa Gone' review: So much in this film is good until it all goes nowhere

Go Goa Gone has been advertised as India's first zom-com, or a comedy about zombies. The film, starring Kunal Khemu, Vir Das, and Anand Tiwari as three best friends stranded on an island infested with flesh-eating zombies, works like magic when directors Krishna DK and Raj Nidimoru focus on their three leads and the irreverent banter between them.
