Gary Oldman is on fire as the highly memorable psycho-baddie Shen. The wealth of ideas from the original carries over to a degree, though disappointingly none of the action scenes match the best from that movie, neither in terms of wow-effect nor choreography. Part of what's missing is the underdog angle. Po and the Furious Five always seem on top here and when there's nothing to worry about there's little to care for, either. Also, the grabs for pathos are misses and it's a bit short on laughs.

The fun, engrossing action of the original has now been set on auto-pilot and feels underwhelming in comparison but it still offers a fresh take by digging deeper into Po's backstory. I also find the luscious, colorful scenery and something about the chinese culture it's build upon to be quite soothing. One of Dreamworks' better efforts.

Kung Fu Panda has evolved into a nice little franchise, much warmer and (if you'll pardon the irony) more human than Shrek and the like. I also appreciate that Po has a very distinct character arc here from the first film (especially after watching The Hangover "Part I Again" Part II).

It never lives up to the unexpected awesomeness of the original at any point, in terms of story or character, but it still has its moments. The stuff with Po's backstory & his relationship with his father are easily the most interesting aspects. That comes at the expense of every other character, though, including the main villain. Ultimately, what knocks it the most is how plainly obvious it being a set-up for Part 3 is. It's fun & worth a watch, but a step down.

Kung Fu Panda 2 is one of those rare sequels that both builds on and outdoes the original in almost every conceivable way. This is Dreamworks masterpiece and without a doubt one of the greatest animated film every released. All the while containing possible the best voice acting in decades from Gary Oldman.

If Kung Fu Panda was a dish of noodles, Kung Fu Panda 2 is two dishes of noodles ... that are tastier. Sorry, I'm bad at this whole "make an analogy that somehow also relates to the film" thing. Point is, it's much the same, but it's a lot better in almost every facet in which the original was deficient. It's smarter, more mature, and uses its supporting cast much better, all while still looking beautiful. Kung Fu Panda is what the original should have been, and it's worth seeing.

People seemed to have mixed feelings on this one, the general consensus was that it was decent but not superior to the original. I disagree. Infact, I'd say it's superior in most ways. I found the humor to be vastly improved (I don't remember laughing at all during the first film, whereas I LOL'd numerous times during this), the story and character development are engaging and dark and it still looks beautiful. The action scenes aren't as good but still pretty damn impressive.

Pretty nice charming film, the story is deeper when compared to the first movie as it tries portray the origin of Po. I still loved the first part more for the goofiness it had. The goofiness in Po has taken a backstage. The Furious five are given importance in this, which is nice. Overall a nice entertainer, something the kids will love.

Quite underwhelming compared to the first. You can see most of the jokes from a mile away and the "funny things happen in slow motion" joke is a death horse beaten beyond death into the netherworld. That sad it does have some redeeming moments of humour and the story, though tremendously cliche overall, has a couple of touching moments.

3 years later Dreamworks Marketing Dept. required a new film as a Franchise Placeholder. To Do list:1. install new external threat 2.Give the already physically accomplished Panda "important" new personal problem 2 grapple w/ 3. Connect personal problem w/ external threat 4.String 2gether w/familiar slapstick/fat jokes. If not 4 the CGI this snoozefest would've gone straight2-dvd. Worse it has the temerity 2 end on the promise/threat of another sequel! Here's hoping this panda becomes extinct.

A bit inferior to the first movie, I think. Probably now because the concept, but also because the action scenes lack a bit of finesse compared. However, I does deliver some great moments and a few really good laughs, and I really liked that they start to dig into the past. An approved reunion of Po and friends.

I was glad they didn't try to rehash the previous film; the added scope and backstory was really nice. I preferred the story to the first one overall, but felt the humour was worse - it was more overt, which had mixed results. A superior aesthetic (it was goddamn beautiful, and the different styles of animation mixed really well) but less immersive action sequences. Enough character development and cool shit to make a worthy sequel, but not a superior one.

Way better than the first for two reasons: Firstly we can skip the whole I'm fat and learning Kung Fu jokes, and that makes room for a better, deeper and darker story which probably doesnt suit the little ones but who cares about them anyway? ;-) Secondly this time we get even more of the Furious Five (its not team Diesel/Walker/The Rock). That combined with stunning battle sequences and Po's slow discovery of his past is what makes it this years best animated film yet.

My main complaint with the first one was that the Furious 5 got glossed over and didn't get many action scenes or lines. It's almost like they read my complaint and actively worked on it because the Furious 5 played a huge role in this one. An equal partner with the first film despite the original's story being slightly better while the sequel's action reigns supreme. If you like the first I see no reason why you won't like this one as much or better as it's a really fun way to spend 90 minutes.

Pretty much on par with the original film. I liked the new locations, the surprisingly dark tone and thought the new villain was pretty good. I wasn't too interested in the titular Kung Fu Panda during the first film, but he has grown on me -- or used better and in less comedic way. Other characters are more in the background which is a small pity. It's nothing earth shattering, but a nice way to introduce martial arts to kids and made me look forward to part 3.

Same characters, same plot, same jokes. It's extremely predictable with literally no surprises, giving the characters little depth. What we are presented with here is essentially a paint-by-numbers family film. If you're okay with that, then more power to you. It's pretty harmless brain candy, but if you're looking for more substance or any way to challenge your kids a little, look elsewhere. Again, it's just kind of...there. Ironically zen, in a way.

KFP2 wasn't quite as "charming" as the first -- perhaps due to the darker tone, or maybe because all of the jokes seemed so familiar. Disappointingly, the supporting cast is almost an afterthought, as this seems to be just panda versus new enemy peacock. That said, I liked the use of different animation styles for the flashback scenes. It's not in the category of "terrible sequels," but the inevitability of the good guys winning makes it feel a little longer than it really is.

Like the first, the fat jokes fail (do we really need a "boing" sound every time something hits his tummy?) but the wild action sequences are heaps of fun (see Po's cart ride with the wolf through town) and the animation delights (see the lovely 2D bits). Elsewhere, the villain's good, the "who am I?" pathos is unremarkable, and the non-fat-joke humour lands (see the snarky old Soothsayer); ultimately, the colourful, lively anthropomorphic animal world carries this through any inconsistencies.

A step-up in terms of plotting and characterisation compared to Part 1, but is still hampered by a curious unwillingness to beef up its excellent supporting players in the Furious Five, though Oldman makes for a terrific villain, and Hong is great fun as Po's "father". As with Part 1, the animation is stunning (and stunningly beautiful), which does much to outweigh the movie's imperfections.

Kung Fu Panda 2 is a worthy follow up to it's predecessor and it's one of the best Dreamworks sequels to date. The novelty of a fat and lazy Kung Fu Panda may not be quite as hilarious second time around, but the story benefits as this franchise has now become more than just a gimmick. Once again Jack Black is perfect as Po and Gary Oldman is a worthy addition. Overall this is a thoroughly entertaining family film that is incredibly animated and choreographed throughout.

Can you blame a kids' movie for being too obvious with its central message? For Kung Fu Panda 2, I basically have no choice. The first mention of "finding yourself" early on in the movie made me roll my eyes, and the more it was developed (you can take that word with a big grain of salt), the more unnecessary and misplaced it became. There's some more of the great visual action from the first movie, but in terms of narrative and characters, this movie might be even weaker than its predecessor.

'Kung Fu Panda 2' is an example of a perfect sequel, taking all of the elements that made the original such a memorable picture and topping it in every way. The impressive action is back and bigger, the villain's ambitions are grander, and the story's emotional core is stronger, despite the story's accelerated pace.

Kung Fu Panda charmed family audiences and kung-fu fans alike, largely on the appeal of three things: (a) Jack Black's wide-eyed fanboy mugging as Po, a roly-poly panda who loves kung fu and is improbably chosen to become the Dragon Warrior; (b) Dustin Hoffman's gruff but vulnerable mentor, the tiny red panda Master Shifu; and (c) a witty, occasionally inspired send-up of kung-fu movie conventions.

Vastly better than the first. The lack of having to sit through yet another tedious 'incompetent oaf becomes a master' story helps a lot The humour is allowed to shine through without quite as many jokes being based on a fat panda falling over things a lot. The action sequences are much more imaginative than before, and the quality of the animation is simply stunning. It's a shame that, like the prequel and many Dreamworks offerings, there doesn't seem to be a real love of storytelling in here.

It was good to see all the same voice actors came together for this second installment about the "Dragon Warrior". The new bad guy had an interesting back story and was a really cool fighter. I felt like this movie was very entertaining but it wasn't as good as the original Kung Fu Panda. It did have quite a few good laughs and I am always surprised that an animated film can have such great and stylish action. Jack Black has a great voice and I would be ok to see a third movie in this series.

I loved the first Kung Fu Panda movie. It had everything: amazing story, great characters, not to mention great humor. So my expectations for the sequel were great - the movie starts a bit slow and plain, but then the film switches gears ... and I end up with a sense of awesome animation film-making. And rarely do we in the comic animation universe see successful action emotive strings, but here it succeeds masterfully, and in a way that many action film for adults could learn from.

Maybe because my opinion of the first film is so high, this film stumbled all over the place. It's still good - above average, definitely - but it feels hurried in its own time. The first film gave you time to breath with its characters and goings on, while here, some scenes are unexplained, or too quick, and many logical jumps are made where they shouldn't. I simply didn't believe Po's Christ-like transcendent turn. Also, I hate hate HATE sequel peeking.

I didn't think that this would be any good or even equal to the first one. But this was shockingly an improvement and an enjoyable viewing. To get to know the history of the Panda and his father and also how one could go from being brought down and finding that inner strength, no matter how quirky, is always an uplifting and satisfying watch. It's rare that a continuous film can maintain it's value, and this definitely kept up with it's legacy. Very well done.

Quite a fast pace, occasionally funny and pretty colours but not too original. It's fun to watch though, if you just want to switch off your brain.

Dreamworks uses its knack for shadow work and lighting to hide the animation's lack of detail. Not necessarily a bad thing.

Some really good laughs and mostly good voice acting. I didn't like Angelina Jolie's voice acting and Cross, Chan, and Rogen didn't have enough lines. The animation was still pretty top notch. I was disappointed with the cliche flashbacks. The creativity of skirting typical cliches or even parodying them was present in the first and other parts of the second, but for some reason this slipped under the radar.

It's a superior movie to its predecessor. The first KFP movie saw the start of a general trend upwards in the quality of DreamWorks animated outings, & this second movie certainly adds to that. I enjoyed the character development, the action & animation is still great, & although the script falters in places, it's more than strong enough to survive a 90 minute family movie! Could be considered DreamWorks best; striking the balance between kids movie & genuine quality entertainment very well

Comes close to the first film in delivering a spiritual message sugar coated in fun, action etc. But lacks the polish of the first one - esp in writing and direction. Animation is as good, even better. Still fun and worth a watch.

It kept the same excellent choreography and storyboarding of the first film, furthur devleoped the plot and characters and, as an added bonus, Commissioner Gordon has shown himself to be a very capable voice actor. But in the long run it still feels, acts and plays pretty much the same as the first Kung Fu Panda did, and whether that's a good thing or not, would, of course, directly depend upon how much you enjoyedor disliked it's predecessor.

I laughed a bit, smiled some more, but this never got my attention fully, partly because of the overused story, which was predictable until the end. I liked the bad guy.

Of course Kung Fu Panda 2 is visually stunning as we've come to expect from Dreamworks Animation. But what elevates this film is the story and the way we experience Po's personal journey and very human development. Whereas in the first film the most impressive aspects were the physical interactions between characters and photorealistic environments, this film manages to convey human emotions in animated animals on a level that has scarcely been reached on film before. Only WALL-E comes close.

Forgettable. The jokes are too far apart, the action is too busy, and the story is weirdly dark.

I like the vilan. I like the references to Oedipus and Herod.

Waste. Of. Time. Has no purpose whatsoever - besides milking the cash cow, of course - and borderline shockingly cliched as well as unfunny.

Ow well. Quite ok I guess. Hated the fact that this flick is just drowning in moral questions. I hoped to see an entertaining film fillied with stupid action like the first one. They never reached that level of entertainment though.

On par with the original. I liked the villain, the colorful environments, some of the action set pieces (escape from collapsing tower was pretty cool) and the general sense of fun. It's nothing truly special but I definitely had a good time. Maybe I'm just simple.

All of the charm of the original is gone; raped by a needless sequel without the humor or the entertainment.
