Kung Fu Panda 2 Movie Review
By: SandwichJohn
Ska2oosh! Kung Fu Panda 2 was a great movie for adults and kids alike. From start to end the movie was a great continuation to the first film. The 3D just worked perfect, which seems to be the case with most animated films. Jack Black stars as the lovable Master Po. Also the Furious Five is back for this film Dustin Hoffman as Master Shifu, Angelina Jolie as Tigress, Jackie Chan as Monkey, Lucy Liu as Viper and Seth Rogen as Mantis.
The 3D in the film just popped from the very first action sequence of the film. And the 3D that was used in the film was refreshing compared to live action post 3D production. There are a few scene where you have to jump because you think things are going to fly out and hit you.
In the movie we get to meet a new vilian named Lord Shen (peacock) voiced by Gary Oldman. The story evolves around Po seeing flashbacks of his life when he was a baby panda and him wanting to find out where he came from.
We get flashbacks in the film that follow Po and Lord Shen and how their stories are tied together. Lord Shen's main goal in life is to rule China and Po's journey is to save China and to find inner piece within himself.
Lord Shen creates this indestructible weapon and wants to use it to wipe out the existence of Kung Fu by destroying all the Kung Fu Masters and to then rule China. Master Shifu sends Po and the Furious Five to take down Lord Shen with the help of other Kung Fu Masters. When the Furious Five arrives to assist the Kung Fu masters they learn that they have all gone into hiding, once Po confronts the masters they choose not assist him in his journey.
Po confronts his enemy Lord Shen and learns how their live's intertwine with each other. Lord Shen explains how they are connected and where Po was originally from. Once Po overcomes the daddy issues he learns how to use this and finds inner peace. And this is where it hits the fan. An amazing fight scene occurs between Po and Lord Shen and the outcome will determine if China will be free or not.
I've got say I am not a huge animation fan but I would defiantly go watch this film again. Make sure you stick around and don't leave early there is another easter egg in the film which could lead to a third film and its story.
