You forget that it's Jack Black

by saintandrew

I guess I worried going to see Kung Fu Panda that I wouldn't be able to separate Jack Black from the character of Po the Panda. I was pleasantly surprised. Panda is a must see and - by all means - take the kiddies. There is a warm story at the heart of Kung Fu Panda that even my 5 year old picked up on, namely, believing in yourself is all you really need to become what you dream of being. Dustin Hoffman was an excellent choice as the Kung Fu Master and the shear humor he inflects into his characterization of Shi-fu shows why he is an actor's actor. The script is first class and just when you think "aha!, here it comes!" it goes in a completely different yet wonderful direction. The epic battle between Po and Ty Lueng is so funny you'll laugh while you cheer. (I think I wet my pants a little!) Writing like this is hard to come by. Don't miss it in the Theatre. It?s a big screen extravaganza for the eyes and the soul. My children were better for seeing it - who knew?

Been a while...

by momincali

I thought the direction of kid friendly movies had taken a turn for the worse in the last year or so until Kung Fu Panda! It was so great, that I saw it once with the kids, and we loved it so much that we dragged my hubby to see it the next day. Rare to see a movie that makes kids and adults laugh equally as hard.

A Must See for All Animation Lovers

by ejgoyle

If you love animated movies, then you will love this movie. Even if you don't, you will still love this movie. Jack Black and Dustin Hoffman as student and master.. who would have thunk it. But the two play very well off of each other and the animation is absolutely superb. From the beginning to the end, you are laughing and amazed. This movie has bumped The Incredibles to number 2 on my list of all time favorite animated movies. I can't wait to see it agan.

PANDAMONIUM!!! ALL THE RIGHT MOVES - WELL-EXECUTED!!!

by MOVIES REVIEWER

DreamWorks' Kung Fu Panda is 1.5 hr of sheer FUN and ENTERTAINMENT - nicely paced, nicely-executed - GORGEOUS stylish VISUALLY-CAPTIVATING DETAILED animation!

Voiced by James Hong, Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie, Lucy Liu, Jackie Chan, and etc., this movie is packed with CATHARTIC smoothly-choreographed fight scenes/sequences that leave the audience clapping for joy! Oh - and there were MANY humorous moments as well! (that includes the credits)

Love the 'ZEN' moments!

My main grouses are :
1) all the characters need to be better developed - especially the Furious Five,
2) the supporting cast don't really have too much opportunities to shine,
3) the plot is predictable AND the antagonist's fate in the end was not shown. So, that leaves us speculating. Maybe there will be a sequel?

Advice:
STAY until after the credits for a SURPRISE scene.

Recommendation: GO SEE IT! It's a LOT of FUN!

GRADE : A (mostly for the HIGH-QUALITY visuals/animation)

A fun movie

by shotgun00

I took my 6 year old daughter and she, my wife and I all thought it was funny. I like the way it was filmed and thought that it was a very beautiful looking movie with a fairly decent storyline. I would have liked to have have seen more character development in the all of the "furious 5" but that, I think is my only complaint.

Full of awesome-ness!

by TheLori

Loved it! The animation, both scenes and characters, was beautiful, and the movie itself was hysterical. I haven't laughed this hard at a movie in a long time, everyone else in the theater, kids and adults, were all laughing too. Also just enough of a serious twist to it to keep it from being too goofy....great stuff, go to see the animation even if for nothing else. The previews looked great, and I was not disappointed!

Great animation! Great simple story! Great character work (that's also funny)!

by j5ive

What a year for animation...between this and "Horton" and the masterpiece that is "WALL-E" we may be seeing a watershed year for the CGI animation crowd.

My KungFu Panda Experience

by pacinolife

From the beginning to the end the entertainment level was a non stop riot. I have viewed the best of the best animated movies ever to hit the movie screen and have to say this one took the cake in my opinion from it's beautiful graphics to the very entertaining plot that was always catching you off guard with classic refreshing script that had everyone in the theater cracking up. I have one word about Jack Black's performance and that is AMAZING! Me and my family loved KungFu Panda and you will too!
