"Panda 2" loses power in 2nd half

Rating: Null/10 (22 June 2011)

Rarely,some sequels gets good in the first few minutes and then, it loses its magic throughout the rest of the film {take "Beverly Hills Cop III" and "Batman & Robin" for example}. Well, Dreamworks's "Kung Fu Panda 2" gets it and it handles it with less irony and a little wit.
In this sequel to the 2008 computer animated hit, Po the panda and his gang of heroes try to save China from his parents's old nemesis,an evil peacock named Shen.
Jack Black returns as the voice of Po, and he gives the film its touch of laughter. He helps makes Po the Axel Foley of Animation. Angelina Jolie, Seth Rogen and Dustin Hoffman are also back respectively as Tigress, Mantis and Shifu but this time, they are all a little bit underused. Gary Oldman gives a fine performance as the film's villain, Shen, but is close to other great villain performances such as Ursula and Scar. Also good is Michelle Yeoh as the voice of the Soothslayer.
Jennifer Yun Nelson handles her first film both a little slow and fast at times. Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger's script acts sometimes as an 3-part episode of a 90's animated Saturday morning series running for 90 minutes. The animated effects {both in 2-D and in 3-D} are not as eye-popping or great in the first but it still good.
When I saw it in 3-D, It was good for the first 25 minutes, but during the rest of the time, I began to feel restless and taking off my 3-D glasses twice. Whichever version {2-D or 3-D} suit you best, the kids will have more fun, but for the rest of the people, they will try to attempt making a good time at it.
My Pick: Yellow Light {Think about it}
