Fun Sequel!

Rating: 9/10 (16 February 2013)

Kung Fu Panda 2 is the animated sequel we all came to expect and more. Unlike many sequels, this sequel doesn't really have the same story as the original. It has a new story which explain Po's past and how he came to be the panda we know him to be. It has a new villain, Shen who would kick the original villain, Tai Lung's butt with no problem. The animation is strikingly beautiful, even better than the original.
Jennifer Yu's film continues the adventures of Po and the Furious Five. When the evil peacock, Shen takes over a famed, historic city, Po and gang are sent out to reclaim the city and destroy Peacock and his new weapon that he favors.
This film has the ultimate voice cast. Jack Black proves that he has what it takes to be a successful voice actor. He provides wit and charm to Po who we have all came to endure. This voice cast has an array of talent which includes Angelina Jolie, Dustin Hoffman, Gary Oldman, and more.
Overall, this is a really fun film which some emotional moments within Po's backstory. I enjoyed the kung fu fighting as always. This movie has a great mixture of comedy and action, thought I remember the original not being as funny as this movie. I rate this film 9/10.
