It's a film series that just keeps getting better and better, and I pray it continues to do exactly that. And the end indicates that there's going to be a sequel, and by God, with two films this good already under their belt, they better fucking make it.ĭoug (vo): I don't even know what else to say without giving away too much. Everyone went to see Hangover 2 and.oh, God, fuck that movie! If they don't make a Kung Fu Panda 3 because of this, I will be really pissed off. And what did everybody say about The Hangover 2? "Yeah, it sucked! It was just Hangover 1 again!" What did everyone say about Kung Fu Panda 2? "That was good! It wasn't just Kung Fu Panda again!" But, no. So, everyone went to see the same rehashed bullshit that wasn't even really that funny in the first one instead of seeing this really funny, really smart, artistically put together film. However, is there a downside? Yes, there is.ĭoug (vo): It came out the same weekend as fucking Hangover 2. Everything has been stepped up to the next level the action, the characters, the story, the visuals, and, of course, a great villain. I think it's another one of those perfect films.
That's a damn impressive feat! To be honest, I have no problems with this movie.at all. Yes, Kung Fu Panda 2, starring Jack Black, actually made people cry in the cinema. Hell, I actually heard people crying at some scenes in this movie. This one threw in a few more twists and turns and made it a little bit more dramatic. I like the first one a lot, but you could pretty much tell what direction it was leading towards. The film is great, too, in that I didn't really know where it was going, at least not the whole time. There's also new characters played by Michelle Yeoh, Jean-Claude Van Damme, and even the return of old favorites like Dustin Hoffman. With the weapon by my si- ah, a little bit more. Shen: I envisioned it.a little to the left. He has a fantastic backstory, he has a great design, he has a devious voice, but they still managed to get some good comedy out of him, too.
And again, all the techniques have a very heavy lean towards actual martial arts philosophy and ethics, this one leaning towards learning to conquer yourself before you conquer your enemy.ĭoug (vo): Remember how I said in the first film the villain was a little weak? This one is the exact opposite. I even think there's a very good, real, believable friendship between him and Tigress. Po is not only learning more as a person, but he's also learning more in his technique, and the Fearsome Five aren't just making fun of him anymore, they actually legitimately respect him. He makes the same mistake in his review of the first movie.ĭoug (vo): Rather than just tell the same story in the first one or rehash anything, they actually decide to continue the story, like a good sequel should.
So Po and the Fearsome Five* go to fight him off, but discover not only does he have a greater army than they expected, but they also figure out the secret of Po's backstory, and the reveal of his parents. He wants to take back the land that he says is rightfully his. Why? Because a prophecy foretold that a panda is the only thing that will destroy him. A peacock, played by Gary Oldman, threatens the land with a brand new weapon, and he has a particular interest in wiping out all the pandas. Yeah, I know, from Kung Fu Panda 2? God, these movies are so "never judge a book by its cover."ĭoug (vo): Po returns as the Dragon Warrior, but a new threat has entered town. Yeah, there's some real tearjerker scenes in this movie. It ups the jokes, it ups the action, it ups the characters, it even ups the drama. I think the first one already set the bar pretty high. I think this one is not only as great as the original, but it surpasses it. And what I think of that? Honestly, it's even better than the first. So, that's putting a lot of pressure on its sequel, Kung Fu Panda 2.
