Kung Fu Panda 2

It's a pure action film. But animated. And with animals. I had as much fun as I did with the first Kung Fu Panda, but unlike that film, I didn't have any clichéd story to spoil my fun this time (there is almost no story in Kung Fu Panda 2, just one very simple storyline). The animation is perfect, especially the movements of the peacock villain amazed me, while the action scenes have plenty of inventiveness and humor... And there's even a third part in the works, which I admit I'd like to see. (13.01.2013)

Hmm... It's quite different from the great first one. There aren't so many good lines and the crazy action, with the kicks and the kung-fu moves is barely good enough. The story also isn't that good, it’s rather a bundle clichés, but Po is still the same likable guy and the impression is raised quite well by the very nice Czech dubbing (Procházka). Certainly not a waste of time. 75% (16.12.2011)

Of all the Kung Fu Panda episodes (so far), the second one is the weakest, but it is still not a below average animated film. I liked the look of the main villain in the form of a white peacock, which really had something to it. Most of the funny scenes were mainly taken care of by Po's clumsiness, obesity and greed. All in all, a nice respite that, while not as funny as either first or the third one, still doesn't offend. (03.07.2016)

"Kung Fu Panda" - I mean the first part - is a movie that captivated children because there were plenty of cute characters, but it also captivated adults because they found plenty of humor here, but also a great variation on classic kung fu. The problem with the second part is that those characters are already known and cannot surprise us in any way. Panda Po needed to be made a bit clumsy again, so he is definitely not just the amazing warrior as he presented himself at the end of the first movie, but he still has a lot to learn. He is still properly silly, which simply belongs to Jack Black's voice. This is literally a role for him, even though it is animated. "Kung Fu Panda 2" doesn't have much to offer, it only tries to deepen the connection with the kung fu genre and legends of warriors, which is great for fans of martial arts, but the story is not exceptional, nothing new is brought here. "Kung Fu Panda 2" builds on the success of the first movie and that's where it ends. Favorite characters will return and supposedly that should be enough. It's not quite it, although children probably won't get bored. More: http://www.filmovy-denik.cz/2012/05/kung-fu-dewey-cox-zkrocena-hora-12-opic.html (18.02.2013)
