As a whole, the story continued the style of Kung Fu comedy + cute panda of the first "Kung Fu Panda"; the script may be a little weak compared with the last one, but still a masterpiece. Po the panda understood the importance of self-confidence in the last movie, and in this one he realized the Eastern philosophy of Conquering the Unyielding with the Yielding. However, the ending part of Kung Fu defeating artillery reminded us of the ignorance of the time of "the Boxer" in the very beginning of the 20th century more or less, which I really would not regard as a good point.
The villains were somewhat weak in this movie, perhaps I gave them too much expectation. Gary Oldman's voice failed to chill me.
In fact, just as the same with the first Kung Fu Panda movie, the essence of this one was still the combination of both Chinese and Western. The first story was the combination of the western self- struggle and a Chinese Kung Fu teacher-student routined story, and the second one was the combination of the western family rebellion and the eastern philosophy of Conquering the Unyielding with the Yielding.
As some Chinese newspapers said that this was the assault or insult to Chinese culture or so, I rejected them all. The high political pressure in China made domestic newspapers lack the creativity for animations and everything, so they need excuses to blame the other countries' wonderful movies. This sense of inferiority was nothing but truly ridiculous.
