Good movie, but first was better. In the second film i don't feel that strange feeling that film is about me. But "Kung Fu Panda 2" has good humor, a lot of fighting, very impressionable Tigress. So I buy it, when it will be sold on DVD.

This movie had less and cheesier comedy the first movie. The action and the story was much better than it though... Yet, it seemed to me, that one thing went on and on. So, overall, I like the first movie better.

They put much focus on the emotional and action part . The emotional parts remind me the film UP which won Oscar . I still think Kung Fu Panda will win Oscar but the first one deserved more . One character i really missed was Grand Master Oogway . I know he was dead but He could appear in flash back scene with some of his awesome Advices . the action scene was awesome but i dont like the city (Gongmen City) . It was too darker which is not for animation films . They could make the city really beautiful and natural . I hope next time they will think about it and yeah! i would love to see more sequels and soon . Overall Kung Fu Panda 2 is a good animation film ....At least it was way better then Shrek's 2nd & 3rd sequel . Expand

Jack Black is back in the sequel to 2008's Kung Fu Panda, in Kung Fu Panda 2.

KFP2 is considerably darker than the original in it's story, as Po finds out that he is adopted, and must defeat Lord Shen, the **** who killed his Panda parents and wishes to conquer China. KFP2 has all of the same characters from the original that survived, and the action scenes are still awesome.

KFP2 has some of the same problems of the original- like having famous actors who don't have notable voices doing voice acting for it for really no reason. Also, the jokes in it are almost the exact same jokes from the first, and I didn't laugh once throughout the whole film. Still, in 3-D the film looks awesome, and while the story may be by-the book cliche, it is pretty strong and interesting throughout. The improved technology allows the action to be much more awesome than in the first, and the brilliant fight scenes overshadow the poor comedy.

The writers have clearly, by the film's ending, readied for a third film, although I hope that does not happen, knowing the outcome of making a 3rd Shrek film (a lot of jokes from Shrek in here, too). I hope they keep it to 2.

KFP2 is a strong film, in my opinion better than any other animated film this year, but the comedy has definitely been downgraded in the sequel. Still, awesome action scenes keep Po's adventures awesome.

With its humor still reaching, and its action still great, the "Kung Fu Panda" movies can fail at reaching levels much more, and doesn't give much more than just an action packed kids movie. Sure, "Kung Fu Panda 2" tries to add more heart into it, but it somehow feels out of place with all the action, and doesn't give a deep sentimental purpose. Unlike films like "The Incredibles", Dreamwork's struggles to perfectly click these together. Overall, don't get me wrong, it is good, but just, nothing better than its good (not great) original.

The latest installment of Kung Fu Panda series is not as good as its predecessor, but this summer flick tells a cool tale and brings new and likable characters.

Sheer entertainment, energetic action sequences, an awesome villain, great voice acting, cool storyline, creativity and lavish animation is what makes Kung Fu Panda 2 a very good successor to the also great Kung Fu Panda.

However Kung Fu Panda 2 is not as good as Kung Fu Panda, it lacked the mysterious/magical feel the original had, and i remember the first one being much more hilarious. That doesnt mean Kung Fu Panda 2 doesnt have its funny moments.
Also the ending is quite bad, just like in Kung Fu Panda 3

Kung Fu Panda 2 is the least good movie out of the trilogy, but nonetheless pretty entertaining

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Personalmente, Kung Fu Panda 2 me ha gustado menos en comparación a su predecesora, pero eso no quiere decir que sea mala. Sabe hacer algunas cosas mejor: Nos presenta un mejor villano el cual es Shen. Shen como villano en lo personal esta muchísimo mejor desarrollado que Tai Long, el villano de la entrega anterior. Su historia de fondo es interesante pero sus ambiciones son algo genéricas. Simplemente es un emperador con poder que tiene ansias de mas. No me gusto tampoco la poca participación que tienen personajes como Shifu que solo aparecen en 2 escenas, cuando en la anterior película era uno de los protagonistas. La primer película de Kung Fu Panda dentro de todo equilibraba mejor el humor con la seriedad. Las partes serias si bien están muchísimo mejor elaboradas que la primera entrega, son menos y hay demasiadas escenas de humor tonto, que pueden llegar a irritar en ciertas ocasiones, y te hacen desear. Considerando que también Kung Fu Panda como franquicia abarca la antigua China, siento que al igual que la primera película, tendrían que haberle dado mas importancia a las leyendas y relatos antiguos que se suelen contar en este tipo de historias. También descubrí un fallo argumental grave, en una escena de la película muestran que la madre de Po deja a su hijo en una canasta. Sin embargo, como diablos llego esa canasta luego a la tienda del ganso? No estaba cerca de la orilla del rio e incluso si lo estuviera no podría llegar a la tienda del ganso de ningún modo. Y si alguien mas la movió, por que no hablar con él? Quitando todo lo malo, es una gran película, pero que no la llego a considerar un clásico como la primera por todo el potencial desperdiciado. Id a verla, que de seguro os entretiene, eso no lo negare ;) Expand

I got problem with the script. Not so awesome. Not so bad. Not so funny. Eye-catching animation. Pretty good score. Darker. The only animation lives on this movie is Lord Shen, thanks to great Gary Oldman.

The film has some small funny moments but it's physical comedy and dulled down storyline are better left for the kids to watch on DVD night rather then good money waisted at a theater.

It is wondrous to look at with suberb animation (what do they call this computer generated stuff any way? still CGI?). The story is old hat and has a long slow setup, which may cause the kids to fidget, but there is enough here to talk about after the film is over. Fight scenes look good, fast action, no blood or broken bones, and the good guys win, most of the time. Voice characterizations are exceptional for Mr Oldman, Mr Hoffman, and Mr Hong. Mr Black is his usual self. Overall a fun Saturday afternoon outing with the kids. Expand

Kung Fu panda is one of the bests sequels ever, continuing totally efficient with the original film, but it's more violent and not-enough funny as the first one. But fans will easily be pleased with this new Kung Fu Panda.

It's satisfying, nothing special. It lacks itself on multiple levels compared to original, but still enjoyable. Overall, just a time waster, a common film by Dream Works.

Only half as much fun as the first one - dont expect anything like the humour in KFP1. So many of the characters barely have any dialogue in it, just a lot of fight scenes

I went to see the movie in 2-d and was amazed. At the sheer dissapointment that is. The original was fun and funny. This wasn't. It attempts to be both funny and slightly more serious while targeting a younger audience. This completely ruins all the best aspects that it could have had. The plot is seriously underdeveloped from what it could have been. Plot: talk, fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, win. That is literally the entire plot. I give it a 3 out of 10 Expand
