Movie: Kung Fu Panda (2011)

Twice the Awesomeness

Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011) is the sequel to Kung Fu Panda (2008).

Synopsis: Po the Dragon Warrior and the Furious Five are defending the Valley of Peace from evil when a new threat arises. Lord Shen, an evil peacock banished by his parents many years ago, has returned with a mission to conquer the whole China. He and his pack of evil wolves and gorillas have built massive weapons that could end kung fu. As the Furious Five embark to stop Lord Shen, Po begins to realize that Shen is linked to his lost childhood past.

Here's a good summary from IMDb: Kung Fu Panda 2 brings back the A-list voices of Jack Black as Po the Panda, now very much comfortable in his celebrity role of the prophesied Dragon Warrior, and the Furious Five consisting of Angelina Jolie as the no-nonsense, hard hitting Tigress, Seth Rogen as the wisecracking Mantis, David Cross as Crane, Lucy Liu as Viper, and Jackie Chan as Monkey, recognizable animals used in distinctive martial arts boxing styles.

Also returning are Dustin Hoffman as Master Shifu and James Hong as Mr Ping, while joining the fray are Gary Oldman as the chief villain Lord Shen the vain peacock, Michelle Yeoh as The Soothsayer, Jean-Claude Van Damme as Master Croc, Dennis Haysbert as Master Oxen and Victor Garber as Master Thundering Rhino, the latter three forming some formidable masters of kung fu whose city they're protecting falls under siege.

This is a lovely movie, some scenes might move sentimental souls to tears. Most scenes generate good laughs because the conversation liners are really hilarious. The animation is lovely and do pay attention to all these animal warriors, especially their gravity defying kung fu moves. You shall be entertained. :)

Do watch this movie to get your much needed dosages of good laugh and fun time. :)
