Very pleasantly fulfilled

Rating: 9/10 (22 July 2011)

Yes I was the only grown man sat in the 10:40am showing of this film on my own. And yes I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was more of the same fun from the first film but progressed a little bit more with character background, a simple cultural story, and plenty of action. And it wasn't just these points I enjoyed, it was the general 'feel' of the film as a beautifully crafted homage to a few Chinese animated stylings. Voices were once again perfect for each character, with special note towards Gary Oldman and Danny McBride. Music was as fantastical as the animation and really builds the film as an excellent artistically entertaining piece. A superb sequel that other sequels should take note of. I left the theatre feeling both satisfied and elated, wanting just that little more of the film. And yes that does mean I would like to see one more Kung Fu Panda sequel.
