Review of Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011) by Oscar G — 21 Apr 2013
This was straight up awesome. Not only did the story get a major upgrade, the villain completely and totally blew me away. Lord Shen, played by Gary Oldman, is possibly the most intimidating villain I've seen in a kids movie since 90's Disney.
Who would have thought a warrior peacock could possibly be terrifying. The movie is another self discovery film, but it never loses the humor that Panda 1 was so great about while adding some incredible moments of pathos for Po, Tigress, and Lord Shen.
Even if you didn't like the first, this is a must see. The action's better, the story is better, and the villain is far, far, far superior.
