Kung Fu Panda 2 is a bit darker than the first

Rating: 7/10 (26 May 2011)

Kung Fu Panda 2 is a bit darker than the first – as most sequels are – but there's nothing here that will damage your kids.
Kung Fu Panda 2, little moments that undermine traditional action-movie tropes to hilarious effect.The film is funny, but never outrageously so, reducing the laughs to find poignancy with Po's parental quest. The movie is a visual feast, accentuated with a crisp, effective deployment of 3D, moving with stunning fluidity and fierceness, packed with extraordinary detail.
The set-pieces in this movie are more exciting than most action movies. True, animation gives you a lot more breathing room when it comes to imaginary battles, but there were fights and clashes in this movie that were just stunning.
Hans Zimmer's score is an energetic.
characterization Gary Oldman as the film's primary antagonist Lord Shen who is an albino Indian Peafowl and Victor Garber as Master Thundering Rhino, a Javan Rhinocerosia are awesome.
The focus on character is so surprisingly sharp that the conflict seamlessly fuses with the rest of the material, becoming accessible to
everyone in the audience.
Overall, the messages are great - be honest, help each other, love your friends and family, be true to yourself, stick together.
