Watch Kung Fu Panda 2 For Free

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

A Masterpiece!

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

My chinese freidn was born where po from the movie was born :) I love that fact makes it so much cooler anbd better

Making excellent use of all the ingredients that made its predecessor an instant classic, the follow- up chapter to Kung Fu Panda is another rollicking, ravishing & riveting adventure that lives up to its hype, adds more depth & flesh to the arcs of all reprising characters, further expands the world we dived into in the first film, and is a worthy sequel that even surpasses the original in few aspects.The story of Kung Fu Panda 2 presents Po now living his fulfilled dream, serving as the Dragon Warrior, & protecting the valley with his fellow kung fu warriors whom he once idolised. His latest adventure begins when Lord Shen returns from exile with a fearsome new weapon & has plans of conquering all of China, following which Po & his friends attempt to stop him before he could destroy the entire kung fu tradition.Directed by Jennifer Yuh in what is her directional debut, the film begins on a promising note with a prologue that quickly briefs us through the villain's background & how all of it is connected to Po's very own past, after which it dives into the present and sets the stage relatively quick, just like the previous feature. For a first attempt, Yuh's direction is highly commendable for she exhibits a very firm grip on all aspects.The writing staff does an equally impressive job with the script by further evolving the characters' arcs, brilliantly balancing the elements of comedy, drama & action in one tightly-structured story & putting up a better sketch of the Chinese culture. The computer animation is lively, zestful & more complex than before, thanks to its energetic camera-work, rich colour tones & apt lighting that give its images a vivacious look n feel.Editing is carried out amazingly well for its 90 minutes of narrative is expertly paced yet there are a couple of moments it could've done without. The flashback sequences are brought to life with care and a few of those segments are genuinely touching. Hans Zimmer & John Powell contribute with a familiar yet improved score. And Jack Black plus the rest of the reprising cast deliver exactly what was expected from them while the new additions are no slouch in their given roles.On an overall scale, Kung Fu Panda 2 heads into a slightly darker territory but it never discards the effervescent wit, unbridled passion & unadulterated quality of the original in doing so. Packing in just as much fun, madness & awesomeness as the first film, exquisitely steered under Yuh's direction, and marking another creative high for DreamWorks Animation, Kung Fu Panda 2 is another triumph of its genre that's highly enjoyable, wildly entertaining & immensely satisfying from the first frame to the last. Definitely recommended.

You don't do a sequel unless its created by Dreamworks Animation and directed like Kung-Fu Panda 2. That could be the bumper sticker for the movie theaters. Seriously.Many times, sequels just throw a couple of new villains and force us to like the characters, eventually fail in that. Here we have a sequel which runs more like a prequel and uncanny for a Animation movie. The movie has got lot of story to it, you do not expect that at allGranted it's got the Po moments and a Mission Impossible style mission to save Kung-fu. But it's likable. The more difficult part in sequels is people have a frame of reference to compare, and it's hard enough to satisfy that when the first movie was just a huge success. The bars are set really high and reach them would be a big ask, but if that's done the movie will succeed. Most times sequels are rated down because of this fact alone, in this franchise this movie reaches the predecessor success but is scared to take it further.Positives about this movie: I like how the story unfolds and how the movie has got a lot more purpose than just creating another animation movie.A lot of unanswered questions are looked at, which is nice. You might not have wondered about it in the first one as it was way too mind-blowingly awesome, but the director has taken a second reading at that script and addressed those open ends, Good work.Colors: One word -Fantastic. Yes the fight with Tai lung was epic, funny and to up the ante in this movie, the movie writers have taken colors as a option and it has made wonders. It looked so good in the theaters that i wanted to see the movie again.Negatives: Well, there were some and i did not expect them in this franchise 1. The villain, yes he creates cool weapons but not menacing enough as Tai Lung, he is a Peacock and the fact that worked for the movie was a tough ask, but again doesn't look villain enough 2. Too many cooks, the finale was supposed to be peacock versus panda, but bringing in Shifu, the other fighters just shows the directors is not confident about the script.There are a couple of more negatives but not worth mentioning, i guess more of these come on board because the first movie was so good, Other sequels such as Madagascar, Ice age have been rated better than its predecessor because they got better with sequels. Here the director has matched the success of first movie which was a huge ask, but the movie feels a bit dragged by legacy sometimes, nevertheless a must watch fun movie by Dreamworks, i would be glad if they stop with this, but i guess they are not going to, let's see the next one pan out

This movie's concept is pretty similar to How to Train your Dragon. Darker and maturer story and plot. But it is different in one way, the comedy is still there and it is a stronger comedy. This is a perfect sequel Dreamworks has done. Stronger comedy with a darker and maturer story, but Dreamworks remembers that this is a movie for kids and they never went "over-maturer". But they still made a movie that can entertain adults also. And also this is really touching which can tear up some others. I call this the best sequel and best movie of 2011.P.S. Don't let adopted kids watch this as this story has Po finding out that he is adopted and may upset adopted kids.
