What's even better about Kung Fu Panda 2 than its predecessor is that it tells not only a story of career success, but also a family story.
A ruthless creature, hearing a prophecy that heralds his end, begins to destroy the man who will one day stand in his path, making it possible to fulfill the prophecy he wants to avoid.
No, we're not talking about Voldemort and Harry Potter, although it felt that way early in the animated Kung Fu Panda 2. Lord Shen, the evil White Peacock (Sirius Black from the Harry Potter films) voiced by Gary Oldman, begins to change his fate by killing Apo (Jack Blake), a baby who is now facing his Kung Fu Dragon Warrior.
Po couldn't remember what had happened when he was a baby. We got a series of flashbacks that contrasted the bland cartoon style with the rich CGI content of the rest of the story.
Luckily, just when it starts to look like a heavy step, the film shifts the focus to the origin story of a story, like Disney's Tarzan the Ape, a touching adoption story. (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows 2 will be released quickly on Abao's furry heels and is expected to be released on July 15.) )
When Po learns the truth about how his loving mother saved him, he sees what a great father he has in Mr. Ping (voiced by James Hong), the goose that saved him, lifts up and feeds him a lot of noodles.
Despite its serious themes, the film is interesting. Jonathan Aibel and Grunberg's witty script matches Jonathan Aibel's visual flexibility, a visual effect of 3D.
It's hard not to laugh at the chubby slacker Jack Blake, because he's Winnie the Pooh, a little wave bear, and all his jokes are important. He happily remains every victorious man. It was whether he made a passionate declaration from high in the air (only to find that no one could hear him) or look for a unique way to sink into Shen's castle and hide in dragon costumes, hoping to observe as if the dragons were "eating" the bad guys and squirting out.
Fans of the Angry Five Warriors may be a little disappointed because their part, along with their teacher Shifu (Dustin Hoffman), is silenced in a story that belongs to Ah Bao and Shen Heping. Still, Angelina Jolie lends the influence of the action hero to the tough and serious Tiger Girl, a warrior who fights alongside Ah Bao and works together to save China and Kung Fu.
For those who liked the story, they should really like the surprise ending, because, surprise — not — it builds another potential treasure-centric sequel. If all goes well, you can check out Kung Fu Panda: A Magical Legend, a developing TV series.
