Day 9
(Careful for spoilers)
It has accord to me that these have been the most family friendly reviews. Aside from maybe back to the future or jurassic park. So today we will venture down to kiddyville and review kung fu panda.
For starters kung fu panda was taking a big risk. As well all know (cough) expendables. Having to mantly stars in one films is just asking for problems. This movie has a good mix of B-list and A-list all who have done none to some voice acting. We have Jack Black (previous voices shark tale), Jolie, Dustin Hoffman, Seth Rogan (previous B.o.B monsters vs. Aliens), lucy lu, ( previous futurama), Davis Cross, and of coarse Jackie Chan.
I think this fault didnt apply becuz they are voicing roles this time.
What it did well:
ANIMATION! Wow! For a 2008 movie it has alot of attention to detail. You can actually see the fur on Po. Not to mention the noodles. Like idc about noodles but they dont look like ramen. They look like legit udon noodles. (I know its china :p).
Story telling: Now he is a a little story all about how Po's life got flipped turned upside down. (I should stop...copyrights and such) but ya Po, a adopted child to a goose? Duck? Idk. Who owns a noodle shop. This guys life was all about dem noodles. But it wasnt for Po, he loved the furious five to the point he had their actoon figures. Well do to a turn a events he becomes the "dragon warrior" who would stop a great evil. So far the story isnt all that unqiue. But this is where it gets good! So you know how Po is a panda? Well being a panda he cant be easier hurt by punches so his ulimate weapon was HIM. That doesnt seem all that speical but this is kids movie and thats a good message to send them.
Lastly it had a great line. Scadushe? I cant spell it. But you know! You heard it all of 2009, right? Come on dont lie.
Where it failed:
So remember earlier when I said it wasnt an orignal story well from this reviewers mind thats a negative, but its a kids movie so ill let that go....this time.
Montages. Who doesnt love a good montage. Well I do, but for thisovie I feel like they could have done a karate kid where he has 3 unique tasks which help him fight and we see them fully. But whatever.
Lastly if I am being nit picky it failed to make a good tv show. Does that even count!? Yes. Yes it does. Dreamworks has done thks a couple times and they never work out. Honestly! Leave them movies more !
FINAL VERDICT!
For the first kung fu panda I give it an 8.5/10. It is a cute, funny kids movie, which even adults can enjoy. I personally own both 1 and 2 and I suggest you do the same. They are good movies and rumor has it that there is third on the way.
Must on movie 10$ per movie max.
Random recommendations:
