Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011) Review

 

I can summarize this film in one simple sentence: “This movie is an absolute blast to watch!” It had so much going for it and it exceeded in everything it tried to achieve. The story was great and had a real punch to it. The acting was fantastic and the writing was phenomenal. In fact I have very little to say about this film that is bad and in all honesty these minor complaints I wouldn’t really consider as problems.

Parts of this movie were a little predictable and had a few moments that were rather on the corny or cheesy side but even so it worked with the film well. The story has very little faults to it. It had a message to say about courage and friendship and it said it well. The effects were spot on and the fight scenes, while crazy and over the top, were awesome to watch. The acting, too, especially Jack Black was some of the best I’ve heard in an animated film in a while. He brought so much character to this role and nailed it. It was truly an epic experience.

This is one of those films that should be viewed by everyone and if you haven’t seen it yet, go see it now. I promise you’ll have loads of fun and won't regret it.

9.5 Out of 10
