Most sequels tend to fail and I think a key factor is that not enough thought goes into making the next one..the first one does so brilliantly well that the second one wants to just ride that wave..and that’s where a promising series is dealt a deathblow
Kung Fu Panda 2 does not fall into that category
Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen, your favourite Dragon Warrior is back and even if he isn’t as awesome as his debut, his awesomeness is not the only reason that you should be rushing to the theaters to catch this one
Awesome 3D!! That’s the first thought that strikes you once you are leaving the hall…Kung Fu Panda 2 comes to life, especially during the action sequences which are aplenty. Probably the best 3D effects I have ever seen in an animation film, this one wouldn’t be half the film it is without the 3D glasses. 15 minutes into the movie and you can see how the makers have spent time and effort thinking of everything that was lovable and enjoyable in the first one and given a whole new dimension to it
And that’s a real savior, especially since the plot line itself is wafer thin, While there was a lot more depth and interest in the unfolding of the plot, in Kung Fu Panda (part I), there is precious little to expect from a story point of view. However, its the whole package, the fight sequences, the 3D, the equally appropriate background score and of course, the familiar old characters, that make part 2 of this series worth a watch
The Furious 5 are back, as is Master Shifu and though they individually have even lesser air-time than last time (a pity though, would’ve liked a little more of them) they still make their presence felt. Po is now the Dragon Warrior but that doesn’t stop him from being Po, if you know what I mean..and hence, all the laughs.
The animation, well the animation keeps getting better with every movie and this one is no different
But now..I think it is time to tell you what I should have told you a looong time ago….
Naah! Am not giving it away..just go watch the movie!!
