Marvelous!
Marvelous! A wonderful followup to Kung Fu Panda. It very much joins the story of the Dragon Warrior with the Fantastic Five!
great
First off this movie is so funny! It arrived super fast and was exactly what I had ordered. Great job
3D Reference Material
This is one of the best 3D titles ever made. The use of 3D in this movie is the standard that all others should learn from and follow. Thankfully this isn't hyperbole as bluraydotcom certainly agrees with.
Don't buy the digital copy
First off let me say I loved the movie. Loved it so much I purchased a digital copy to download and keep on my Kindle Fire. The problem came when according to Amazon tech help, DreamWorks decided they were not making enough sells in the DVD area, and blocked this from the streaming content on what they called a blackout period. Which in return caused Amazon to remove my purchased copy from my Kindle and block me from the streaming version. Amazon did return my money but it has made me very cautious about making future digital purchases. Just a warning to any buying digital movies from Dreamworks.
A Great Sequel!
I loved the first Kung Fu Panda because it was unique, unlike anything I had seen before. When I heard there was going to be a second one, I was a bit leery-- sequels are hardly ever as good as the originals, so why should this one be different? But I was proved wrong, and glad to be!What makes this sequel so amazing is its almost seemless continuation of the first story, but also with so much new information added. All the original voices (as far as I know) came back to reprise their roles, which always helps. And we get to learn about the inner layers of a few of the characters as well. (Getting to know someone on a deeper level always makes things more interesting.) All in all, it was an excellent movie that could easily stand on its own, but the fact that it's a sequel makes this achievement even better!
New Panda, 2 dark
While anticipating watching the second Kung Fu Panda movie, I had fond memories of the first one and how light and funny it was. There were heros and a villan making the story itself pretty standard fare. The fun part was getting the character's defined, building up to a final, victorious showdown. Well, Kung Fu Panda 2, was not the same; not at all. I found it to be a very disjointed story, a little difficult to follow, and it also had more than one story going on. Plus it seemed to me that half of the show was dark in theme and also too many scenes shown in Literal darkness. I still enjoyed the movie, but would not advise trying to get a child under the age of 8 to sit through it!
