Generic nonsense

Rating: 4/10 (25 December 2019)

KUNG FU PANDA is a Dreamworks animation whose plot you can guess from the title alone. It's predictable stuff for sure, child-friendly but without possessing that spark of magic that the old Disney films used to have. The plot is hackneyed and appears to have been written by a team of computers, as content as it is to revisit all the old tropes and cliches and attempting to put a fresh spin on them. Imagine every Asian film cliche in Hollywood packed into a single movie and you'll get some idea of what this is like. A talented voice cast (the annoying Jack Black aside) can't compensate for this generic nonsense.
