Another screening where we almost got the
theater to ourselves! |
Our first Kung Fu Panda in the theater! The charm and comedy is intact from the first movie. I especially liked the bar brawls set inside a tavern perched atop a rocky outcropping - every shift in weight from the patrons (and Po) sent the entire tavern building teetering to and fro. I just wish the story of Po and his (not) unlikely apprentice Zhen (Awkwafina) weren't so transparent to parents. The key to kids movies is to keep Mom and Dad interested too. I appreciated single moments for me, like when Po is chased by bull police officers, and they tiptoe through a China shop, but it would have been better if no one within the movie were surprised to discover Zhen the pickpocket is actually a great successor to Po's Dragon Warrior.
