Review of Kung Fu Panda (2008) by David L — 09 Nov 2015

Kung Fu Panda has such a sophisticated and simply riveting story, some moving moments, authentic setting, for once excellent score, well developed characters, solid acting and most important of all brilliantly executed action sequences and simply fantastic, even artistic and just breathtaking animation.

However, the humor is so annoying and the movie is tonally inconsistent. They went into typical goofy, silly and humorous territory for the kiddies instead of staying in the mature, dark and sophisticated territory previously established and that is why this movie is good, but never great as it could have been and it is such an unfortunate lost potential.
