Review: Po doesn’t disappoint in ‘Kung Fu Panda 2’

Spicezee Bureau

Our favourite Panda is back for another exciting adventure where he and fellow fighters have to save the world from the evil albino peacock Lord Shen. Master Shifu (Dustin Hoffman) sends out the Furious Fighters - Dragon Warriors Po (Jack Black), Tigress (Angelina Jolie), Monkey (Jackie Chan), Viper (Lucy Liu), Mantis (Seth Rogen), Crane (David Cross) on their second adventure. And while he is at it, Po has to also fight some inner demons and deal with a troubled past. The one hour thirty minutes film is not a simple tale of an unconventional hero (Po, the panda) but also an adventure film full of awesome stunts. The film strikes a chord with the audience because the lovable Po’s problems are like any individual. So what if he is a superhero with a job to save the world? He still has issues at home to solve. He has to come to terms with his strange parentage. He is a panda and a son to a goose. 3D technology adds to the visual appeal and makes the ride more adventurous. Watch this film for fun, for its simplicity, for the thrills, and for Po. Ratings: Four cheers for this one!
