Made of Dumplings

Rating: Null/10 (31 March 2009)

Dazzling artwork.
That's it, folks. It's all you get with Kung Fu Panda, a masterpiece of CGI, but all MSG and mushy dumplings for a story. This is just another one of those computer-generated monstrosities, put out by Disney or Dreamworks, that depends on your lack of ability to distinguish between story and SFX--if the visuals are eye-popping, they figure your brain is going to pop too.
I'm no brain trust myself, but a Mr. Bill-level artistry would have worked just as well IF the story had been any good.
We we got instead was a weakling of a script trying to support some breathtaking visuals.
I had trouble staying awake during the movie. Just writing about Kung Fu Panda makes me want to take a nap, it was that dull.
