Review of Kung Fu Panda 3 (2016) by Carfan1999 — 11 Aug 2016
I'm a major Kung Fu Panda fan and personally believe it's the best Dreamworks franchise. The 1st film was surprisingly good and the 2nd was even better with a more emotional story and lush animation. This 3rd film is good, although not as good as the first two.
The best aspect of Panda 3 is the animation. It's beautifully animated with great detail, fluid motion, colorful backgrounds, and has very well choreographed fight scenes. The 2D animated backstory was a nice touch as well.
The story is a nice conclusion to what started in the second film as it perfectly balances the comedy and drama out. The world is expanded into new places that keeps everything fresh and new. However, there are a few issues.
Considering that Po meets his real dad for the first time and now has two dads; this is handled in the safest way possible with little conflict. Since there are so many new characters; this means old ones like The Furious Five have little screen time.
In addition, many of the new characters like Po's dad, Mei Mei, and the villain Kai are rather bland. Overall, Panda 3 is a fun and beautifully animated film that nicely expands the world of Kung Fu Panda and has a satisfying conclusion.
Although it's rather forgettable and not as daring as the second film was, Panda 3 is a fine movie.
