'Kung Fu Panda 2'

In 2008,

I took my younger brother to go see Dreamworks' Kung Fu Panda. While entering the theater, I thought to myself that it was going to be a long couple of hours ahead. But as soon as the movie started, I found myself immensed in the quirky antics of Po, played by Jack Black, as well as the outrageous fighting scenes.

Kung Fu Panda 2 was no less of a hit. Instead of bringing my ten-year-old brother to this movie, I found myself wanting to go with my own friends. To me, it isn't just a kids movie. It is a movie that can be enjoyed by all ages.

The movie starts off where the first one left off, as Po is learning all the ways of kung fu as the Dragon Warrior. But as soon as he starts to get the hang of it all, the return of Lord Shen, played by Gary Oldman, threatens the existence of kung fu.

The flick is chock full of humor and classic kung fu, and it does not let the movie get too drab or dramatic. Also reprising their roles in the film were the Furious Five, played by Angelina Jolie, Lucy Liu, Seth Rogen, David Cross and Jackie Chan.

And all the while, Po is able to handle saving the culture and history of China, but finding himself in the process.
