The first Kung Fu Panda film will always be special, even if an even better version was waiting just around the corner.

Just by reading the title, one could immediately imagine the concept of “Kung Fu Panda”: a big, chubby animal who has to learn martial arts to save the world or something. But fortunately, the movie ended up being something MORE. Full review in Spanish.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 16, 2024

The anthropomorphic version of Ancient China is full of fun and good life lessons as a panda learns how to be the Dragon Warrior.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 13, 2024

There's not much to Kung Fu Panda, and it's gratingly predictable, but it's also entertaining, colorful, funny, and easy to enjoy. 

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 4, 2024

Kung Fu Panda doesn't bring anything new to children's animated films... [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/10 | Jan 14, 2023

Stay for the heartwarming message and neat chosen one subversion.

Though most of the voices are instantly identifiable, for once the numerous celebrities don't detract from the film.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Nov 28, 2020

Often witty and filled to the brim with exciting choreography.

| Original Score: 2.5/4.0 | Sep 13, 2020

It's not the first or the last film to sermonise the idea of "never giving up," but there is a certain charm in seeing a collector of action figures, an indolent slug, turn into an animal-bashing Bruce Lee.

Kung Fu Panda is ripe with genuine wisdom, and like any Kung Fu film, it delves into some pretty fascinating spirituality.

This is a charming film, full of wit and character that makes it a worthy addition to the Dreamworks library of films.

| Original Score: B | Oct 29, 2019

'Kung Fu Panda' was an evolutionary jump in what the Dreamworks animation had offered until then. [Full Review in Spanish]

It's not a bad movie. I just didn't love it like I was hoping too.

| Original Score: C+ | Mar 9, 2019

Good performances, excellent special effects, impeccable animation... [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 21, 2018

Well, for a kiddie animation spectacle I'd give it more than a passing grade.

Kung Fu Panda is pretty much like it sounds.

Kung Fu Panda is not as much fun as Kung Fu Hustle, but it's much better than Kung Pow: Enter the Fist.

| Jul 18, 2016

There's something about the look of Kung Fu Panda that is so novel and pleasing. Perhaps it's just that we haven't seen this vintage, Far East world in a computer-animated movie before.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 7, 2014

Some of it just seems silly, which is fine for a family movie, of course, but there's silly and then there's silly. Kung Fu Panda is silly.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Dec 7, 2014

When the kids are happy and I get to watch a Jack Black kung fu movie, that's good enough for me.
