Movie: Kung Fu Panda 2 in 3D
Genre: animated adventure
Synopsis: Po (Jack Black) is back as the hero Panda – along with Tigress (Angelina Jolie), Monkey (Jackie Chan), Mantis (Seth Rogan), Viper (Lucy Liu), Crane (David Cross), Shifu (Dustin Hoffman) and Mr. Ping (James Hong). Newcomer-bad-guys include Shen (Gary Oldman) and Wolf Boss (Danny McBride). Newcomer-good-guys include Master Ox (Dennis Haysbert), Master Croc (Jean-Claude Van Damme) and Master Rhino (Victor Garber). Po is on a quest to find out who he is (he finally figured out he was adopted). Along the way, Po and his gang have to save China from Shen and his new weapon.
My two cents: If memory serves, I sort of liked the first King Fu Panda. This one – not so much. It just seemed to get very boring very quickly. The most entertainment I had was in trying to identify the actors who were doing the character voices. I was also disappointed by the 3D . . . not worth the extra money.
