A Very Amped Up Sequel that may even top the Original!!!

Rating: 8/10 (20 March 2012)

Here's my review of the Movie Kun-Fu Panda 2.
First I think the movie is very good and does a great job at expanding and detailing more of Po's world. Though it is not a perfect movie there are some "bleehh!!!"-moments that keeps repeating that certainly degrades it in some way, Kung-Fu Panda 2 is a nice movie for kids and kids at heart that likes to watch Kung-Fu movie.
Let's start with Po and the revealing of his origins in this movie. Since i have watched the first film way back in 2007 I know in my gut that they would explore the possibility of Po being an adopted child, I mean duh?! his father's a duck and he's a freakin panda. Not only does the film cleverly uses this plot string as the base story,they also made it much meater by adding elements that enchanced it and would set the bar high for the 3rd film. Another great thing about this movie is not a PO movie alone...since most of the first film focused so much on Po,every one of the furious five got their dreamed airtime. The Action Kung-Fu scenes did NOT disappoint , since they had a true kung-fu choregrapher as always the action scence's are very bad-ass: whether it's the dragon warrior fighting side-by-side with the furious five ; The final battle between Po and Co. Vs. their Adversary(which i will not name for spoiler purposes.) that really is pure awesomeness; the action clearly delivered more than the comedy. Po's search of "inner peace" is a great sub-plot the co-incised with Po's past and origins and made it the key in defeating their Adversary to became on of the most powerful kung-fu master.
...The "bleeh"-moments I'm talking about are the (for me it is) extensive flashback of Po's mom leaving him again and again, Is it really so hard for a child(watching the movie.) to understand this that they have to repeat it every time he see' a certain character. *cough cough a wolf that helped killed their family* One of the other setback is the movie ditching some of it's comedic moments(which is sooo much fewer compared to the first one ) to make way for a more mature and serious story.
