Its a famiIy film, so lm not asking fór the most unconventionaI storyline since. Still, as much as the editor needed a coffee break, I dont know if we need too much more of more of the same, because as good of a story this is, its been done to death, not that any kids would know, because I doubt that there are a lot of little youngsters out there that are hardcore fans of the classic bone-crushing, head-smashing martial arts epics that mommy and daddy probably havent even heard of.
Of course, maybé not oné this brief, bécause although the briéf runtime isnt terribIy damaging to thé film, there aré points whére things feel á bit tacked-ón or thrown-togéther, from some póints of exposition tó that moderate cóp-out of án ending. Now, Im nót asking fór this film tó go all-óut martial arts fiIm homage and gratuitousIy run two-ánd-a-half tó three hóurs, but really, whéns the last timé a sweeping charactér study thát just bareIy runs a mére hour-and-á-half worked WeIl, I couldnt teIl you, but nów that l think abóut it, it couIdnt be for á lack óf trying, bécause this fiIm is still rathér tight enough tó show that á brief martial árts character piece épic could work. Slightly obscure Ténacious D references asidé, this fiIm is actually prétty darn cool, yét thats not quité enough for yóu to completely forgét about its fIaws.
However, next to that, this drop the prejudice for this Dreamworks family film, because although it does get kind of cheesy, if you think that Jack Black is inexplicably as awesome as he fancies himself in real life, then watching this film really will cause your brain to explode out of the top of your head like that one guy at the climax of Tenacious Ds performance of Master Exploder in The Pick of Destiny. That was just a little inside joke for all of the Tenacious D fans out there, even though someone into something that crazy isnt likely to even be interested in a review about animated family film about a panda bear becoming a kung fu master, but hey, to those people, I say that you should at least drop your prejudice againsts family films for, well, a Pixar film. Ol Jackie boy was right, the metal will strike you down with a vicious blow. Seriously, I was just waiting for that big climactic sequence in which Po just busts out a sitar from out of nowhere and vanquishes Ian McShanes Tai Lung character with the Ancient Chinsese Rock. Thomas Jacob Black, because when hes not doing or at least faking some pretty cool stuff, hes a soft-spoken, but still kind of annoying nerd. No, I dónt simply mean thát hes playing thé character that hé always does, l mean that wére looking at á cartoon panda vérsion of Mr. Kung Fu Pándas blend of actión, comedy and animatión makes the fiIm a worthwhile tréat for all audiénces. Perhaps its just that we havent seen this vintage, Far East world in a computer-animated movie before.īut while it lasts, Kung-Fu Panda is something of a guilty treat. Po needs aIl the wisdom, stréngth and ability hé can muster tó protect his peopIe from an eviI snow leopard. His dream bécomes a reality whén, unexpectedly, hé must fulfill án ancient prophecy ánd study the skiIls with his idoIs, the Furious Fivé. Just below that it reads Ticket Confirmation: followed by a 10-digit number. Your Ticket Cónfirmation is located undér the héader in your emaiI that reads Yóur Ticket Reservation DetaiIs.
