This time, we have a film that deals with some new themes: “your origins do not define your present or future”, “let go of the past”, or “obsession with revenge brings nothing new with it”. Valuable lessons for the kids, of course. Full review in Spanish.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 16, 2024

This sequel doesn't disappoint and explains how Po became the son of a noodle-making gander while Po learns how to find inner peace. While I loved the anthropomorphic animals in the first film, I initially thought the wolves were hyenas.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 13, 2024

A cinematic recipe of the hardcore and the heartfelt that, in the hands of the iron chefs DreamWorks Animation has employed to make it, is easy for any age to eat up.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Nov 20, 2023

The setup and resolution may feel very familiar, with all the twists and turns as predictable as can be, but the film’s style and quality animation make it incurably watchable.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 7, 2023

Great use of 3D in a story that has been told before. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jan 14, 2023

The trouble with the sequel is that it goes to a high extreme of trying to extend from the first story with drama, angst, and darkness that the original successfully lacked.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 12, 2022

The film isn't afraid to get dark, while still maintaining a warm-hearted approach that is signature to the films of Dreamworks Animation rival Pixar.

| Feb 11, 2022

Capitalizes on the same techniques that made its predecessor successful.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Nov 30, 2020

The film becomes one of DreamWorks Animation's most satisfying animated features yet.

| Original Score: 3.0/4.0 | Sep 13, 2020

Do the world a favor and skip this movie; maybe it'll force the creative team to put in actual effort into something besides the fight scenes (which, I might add, were short on martial arts) on number 3.

| Original Score: D | Feb 14, 2020

Beautifully storyboarded, each frame looks like an illustration from a well-written children's book. The Hans Zimmer musical score is fantastic.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Jan 14, 2020

Dreamworks, your moviegoing public speaks. King Fu Panda 2 -- it's awesome.

| Nov 16, 2019

It presents an amazing prologue animated in the manner of the typical Chinese puppet theaters. [Full Review in Spanish]

Kung Fu Panda 2 feels refreshing.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 23, 2019

This movie offers further proof that the immersive medium of 3D is ill-suited for the genre that's been most compelled to adopt it: hectic, fast-moving action. Bring on the inner peace.

This is rare territory for a children's movie, and it shows a surprising depth and maturity. It may take a few shortcuts here and there, but it packs a disarming emotional wallop.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 8, 2019

It's a zippy 90-minute affair that is effective and entertaining. But look deeper and there is more, a richly detailed movie with a surprisingly sweet and emotional story at its core.

Kung Fu Panda 2 gets a little darker and slushier than the first, but never loses sight of its objective: fun, fun, fun. The animation is outstanding, and the story has enough surprises to make it new.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Apr 2, 2019

This is exactly the kind of film that's needed sometimes, it's fun, exciting, vivid and memorable. Oh, and kids will like it too I guess...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 14, 2018

Where, in short, is this film's personality, or even the characters' personalities, for that matter?
