Not as fun as the first one but OK

Rating: 7/10 (17 June 2011)

I took my grandson to see kung fu panda because I really enjoyed the first one. This one unfortunately is not as fun as that one but it passes. The animation again is stellar and Jack Black again does a good job as Po. I am going to disagree with the critics the story is coherent and both stories (Po's search and the peacock's) do work if you are intelligent enough to see it. What I found irritating though is that it seemed to go on longer than the 90 minutes. I think it was because on like the first one it took too long for the Po to get it. Also the fight scenes were way too long and draw out for me. Yes the kung fu was good but it seemed to go on forever. The movie did redeem itself in the end and that's why I gave it 7/10.
