On Par with the original

Rating: 8/10 (31 January 2012)

This is a sequel that I can't tell is either better or worse than the original. Now I did really enjoy the first movie, it wasn't perfect, but it was fun, funny, had great animation, good voice acting, and actually had a pretty good story. This film is fun, funny, has great animation (as well as some really good 2D animation sequences, it has great animation, good voice acting, a a story that adds to the original. So what you get is a pretty damn good sequel.
I still am not a big fan of Po, while he did grow on me more in this film I still felt the furious five was better. And thankfully they are in this movie a little bit more than the first one. I did laugh quite a bit, I always had a smile on my face. The animation is great, and unlike other Dreamworks films, it includes quite a bit of 2D animation in it that really looks good. The voices once again are good, Jack Black gives it his all, and the rest of the cast is good, and they let Jackie Chan have more than one line! But the story is really well done here, it adds to the first film, as we find out what happens to Po's parents. I won't spoil it, but the ending actually had me go, "WOAH!"
