Review of Kung Fu Panda 3 (2016) by Jb B — 04 Mar 2016

The new installment to the Kung Fu Panda franchise, which might be the last we see of our fury friend, thus capping off the trilogy. While Kung Fu Panda 3 is certainly enjoyable and kids will like it, there are certain elements it didn't take away from the previous movie, and one of its main struggles is this one seemed more like a kids movie than the other previous two, as the first two had certain elements that made it more enjoyable for adults.

The message in this movie is pretty good for kids, but the way they go about displaying isn't as good as the first two. I am a huge fan of Kung Fu Panda 2(and Dreamworks in general), and what works well in that movie is the darker tone it takes, as well as the message that we have to accept our dark pasts.

Anyway back to KP3, the voice acting is superb, the action is actually really great at times, and while it does seem to run the series full circle it isn't better than its predecessors. Again great movie to take your kid to for a fun time, especially for an animated movie.
