I hope my review is useful for you. Gary Oldman practically steals every scene that he's in though. Po is more of an action kind of Panda and is waiting to show off his kung fu skills as the Dragon Warrior title which he achieved in the first film. Having just raved about the visuals, it's got be be said that at least 10 minutes of the bombastic kung fu fight scenes could easily have been cut. Magnificent flash animation in the intro, flashbacks, and the dream sequence. The animation in Kung Fu Panda 2 is extremely well done. The film features the voices of Jack Black, Bryan Cranston, Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie, J.
The heart is also there. There was no charm to this movie. With some fantastic animation, a surprising and touching story, and convincing voice talent, Kung Fu Panda 2 will easily go down as one of my all-time animated favorites. The only negative and that too a little one is the storyline. Having seen and enjoyed if not been bowled over by the original, I was surprised and delighted by this movie that seems to prove that Dreamworks, while still not quite on a Pixar level Yet! I read that star Jack Black is taking credit for re-writing much of his part.
The fighting scenes were very entertaining and should keep kids and adults hooked. In the Valley of Peace, Po Ping is revelling in his fulfilled dreams as he serves as the fabled Dragon Warrior protecting his home with his heroes now his closest friends. So when DreamWorks announced a sequel, I actually got very eager to see it. This sequel could have created a new type of tension with all the characters. Speaking of relationships, the movie will also get emotional as Po begins to discover the truth about his past. An exception to this style occurs in some of the fighting seen at the end, but it's not too bad so most should be able to slide ignore it.
That's not to say Kung Fu Panda 2 doesn't have humor; actually, it has exactly the right amount at the right time. But I remember, Dreamworks already understand how to make a true good animated movie so I don't have to worry. But before they know it, the vengeful and treacherous snow leopard Tai Lung is headed their way, and it's up to Po to defend everyone from the oncoming threat. Synopsis It's the story about a lazy, irreverent slacker panda, named Po, who is the biggest fan of Kung Fu around. I found myself rolling my eyes a lot at the jokes in the first movie, but the sequel had me and the whole theater, for that matter genuinely laughing! In the first movie, at least ShiFu somehow find a way to train Po so he becomes strong in the end. Even in serious scenes it suddenly has humor.
I suppose the fortune cookie philosophy of master Shifu is slightly missed but purely a small quibble in a good movie. The villain, Lord Shen, is one of the best villains that DreamWorks has ever created. So overall, I love really this film from beginning to end, perfect to go with the original film. The 3D was also showcased quite well, enhancing most of the visuals throughout the movie without being a headache. As for the rest of the big-name cast, octogenarian James Hong as Yoda and Gary Oldman as the chief Blue Meanie are darned good. But trouble pops out when villian Shen Oldman begins chaos. Many consider that the original Kung Fu Panda is DreamWorks's best animated film to date; in my opinion their best one is How to Train Your Dragon, but Kung Fu Panda was still a great movie.
In the same way there is a scene where we see Master Croc voiced by Van Damme do one of his singular moves from his action films. Kung Fu Panda 2 is a thrill ride, and the 3D was crisp and well done. Synopsis After a year of being the dragon warrior, obesitized but fearless Po Black is a hero in China along with Crane Cross , Mantis Rogen , Monkey Chan , Viper Liu , Tigress Jolie , and Shifu Hoffman. However, Po is now the tragic hero in a Greek style prophecy which foretells of a warrior in black and white who would defeat a certain Lord Shen who has invented a new weapon that could spell the end of kung-fu. It's more heartwarming but Kung Fu Panda 2 is already good enough as a sequel because it's bigger and too awesome. It is as enjoyable as watching through the first time, maybe even better. His opportunity comes when the Village where his father Mr.
This was a well-written, excellent continuation of the series. In terms of recommendation, I would recommend this movie to all ages. The story starts out with a background story about the villain Shen Gary Oldman and his lust for power to rule over China, eliminating any forces that try to stand in his way. I won't say any more in fear of spoiling the story, but be prepared for a powerful emotional experience. It successfully weaves the topics of fatherhood, friendship and family into a colorful story that even though we know how it will end, it gets there very very emphatically. . This film falls far short mainly because it lacks any real tension at all.
Lord Shen becomes fanatical in plundering metal from the land with the ambition to rule all of China, but for his Soothsayer to predict his downfall to come from something black and white, hence his dogged massacre of pandas with his wolf pack goons, before setting his sights on and signaling his diabolical intent on some legendary martial arts masters. However, the rest just don't stand out at all. I wonder where DreamWorks will go from here when they do a sequel because based on the end of the film, this might go somewhere exciting. As entertaining and well-choreographed as it was, it didn't pass my bar for mediocre DreamWorks animated movies. I found a big improvement was that they toned down all the things that made the first movie irritating: over-the-top Jack Black antics, overused slow-mo effects, and dialogue silliness. Even if you haven't seen the first one yet, which was the case with my cousin, one will be able to find some part of this movie to enjoy.
This threat is organized by the peacock, Lord Shen, who is after the destruction of China, and the extinction of Kungfu. It just stumbled through a series of henchmen fight scenes. The reason why is because they're properly developed and given more character and don't act like jerks throughout the movie, particularly Po's relationship to the Furious Five. In response, Shifu advises Po that instead of trying to be a teacher, he should try to be himself. I didn't see the first movie, but they just seemed like baggage that couldn't be cut.
And the landscapes and backgrounds are beautiful to look at, artfully designed but still realistic. Humor plays an essential role in this film and will leave you laughing in your seats. Everything about this film blew me away. Gary Oldman is definitely good at being a villain in movies even if it's animated. The comedic styles of Po can get a little stale at times, especially hearing the word hard core about ten times.
