Review of Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011) by Jacob — 06 Mar 2014

While it has some tone issues and the narrative could be a bit more tight I’m willing to overlook that. Often we get lame, half-assed sequels. However, this film despite its issues is a good sequel that may/probably surpasses the original.

It raises the stakes, gives us a better villain, and an epic movie. This franchise has two good films and hopefully the third one does just that (the ending implies that there is going to be sequel). If you liked the first one and are concerned that the sequel will suck don’t worry it doesn’t and even if you don’t like it as much as the first its still a good and enjoyable movie.

This is one of the most epic, cinematic, and engaging films to ever come out of Dreamworks.
