The plot is paper-thin, and what’s there seems super familiar-in a sense, we’ve seen it twice before. Then again, maybe I’m just older than I was five and eight years ago. It’s more boring and more childish than the others-fine for the kids, maybe, but less so for the parents. But by that point, it’s too late.Ĭompared to its Oscar-nominated predecessors, “Kung Fu Panda 3” lacks a certain staying power. And “Kung Fu Panda 3” finds its rhythm, and its heart.
Simmons), threatens to steal the chi (and the mortal lives) of the Five ( Angelina Jolie, Jackie Chan, David Cross, Seth Rogen, and Lucy Lui), Shifu ( Dustin Hoffman), and the entire panda population. But when the baddie, a vicious bull named Kai (J.K. It shows a tired franchise on its last leg.
Po’s existential crisis, which makes up the first half of the movie, is slow and unoriginal. He needs to be too many things to too many people, he thinks. But when his real father, Li ( Bryan Cranston), finally finds him and brings him back to the panda village in which he was born, Po begins an internal battle between duty and self. Po (perfectly voiced by Jack Black), the clumsy Panda adopted by a goose (James Hong) and unexpectedly chosen by Master Oogway (Randall Duk Kim) as the Dragon Warrior, has always had a sort of identity crisis. 10 out of 10.Directed by Jennifer Yuh and Alessandro Carloni What else can I say? Congratulations Dreamworks. So, finally, as a complete sucker for Pixar animation, I'm glad that another animation company can actually put proper thought and execution into a FAMILY movie. Best line: Oogway regarding yesterday, tomorrow and today. 'be yourself' ("Shark Tale"), but "Kung Fu Panda" has genuine cinematic moments with dialogue that carries real weight. Other movies have tried to have a lesson in the end like 'be yourself' ("Shrek"), or 'the value of friends' ("Madagascar"), or.
PELICULA DE KUNG FU PANDA 1 MOVIE
The last great part of this movie is often the most overlooked part of a good family film. Much like "Finding Nemo" or "Monsters Inc", there's just plenty of pop-culture-free goodness that is terribly entertaining. There isn't even any double entendre or unnecessary crude humour. There are no inside jokes related to the voice actors. There are no Matrix, Spiderman, or other dated references. What helps make this a new classic in my eyes is what it doesn't have. fight sequences rise and fall with each of the music cues, or is that the other way around? Beautiful. Asian drums rumble in the background of intense fights. Snap zooms, slow-motion, and flying cameras are also used with great skill to further the experience. Whether it's flying through the air alongside a leaping character, the painting-like backgrounds, or the wonderful opening sequence (reminiscent of Samurai Jack), they're all beautiful. Speaking of animation, the cinematography, character design and backgrounds are all done very, very well. Just watch the jailbreak and you'll understand. What elevates them from good to great is that while I expected the unbelievable, gravity-defying stunts that are REQUIRED of a good kung fu movie, there is an amazing amount of 'realism' to the physics in this movie. Let me get this out of the way: this movie has some of the greatest 3D animated fight scenes. All the classic elements of those great kung fu flicks are there, while still keeping it pleasantly G-rated. And while it IS kid friendly, it is not dumbed down to the point where it's childish. While classic kung fu movies are poked fun at, Kung Fu Panda does an excellent job of treating the genre with great respect in a movie geared towards kids. Thankfully, those characters are pretty inconsequential so they're not really missed. Besides Po, Shifu and Oogway, the rest of the cast seemed pretty 'phoned-in'. If I could complain about ANYTHING it may be a few of the voices. (Sidebar: I actually enjoyed "Flushed Away" and "Over The Hedge".) First, the bad. After various 3D animated movies ranging from lacklustre "star" movies ("Madagascar"), boring tripe ("Shark Tale", "Bee Movie"), and over-rated, over-hyped overkill ("Shrek"), Dreamworks can finally be proud of a truly great film.
