Review: Kung Fu Panda

29 06 2008

kung fu pandaPo (Jack Black) is an overweight and lazy Panda who is also the biggest Kung Fu fan around. Unfortunately for him he has to work at his family’s noodle shop instead of being a Kung Fu master. Unexpectedly, one day his is chosen to fulfil an ancient prophecy and he joins the world of Kung Fu, training alongside his idols The Furious Five. News soon arrives that the evil snow leopard, Tai Lung, has escaped from prison and Po must master Kung Fu in no time if he is to defend everyone from Tai Lung.

I thought this movie was amazing and will certainly be one of the best animated movies this year. The character Po fits Jack Black perfectly and Black gives an outstanding performance making every joke hilarious. Not only is the voice acting in this movie superb but the choreography is sublime, with every action scene bringing you to the edge of your seat. There’s one scene where Po fights his master, Shifu, for a dumpling and this has got to be one of my favourite fight scenes of all time, it’s gripping and side splitting at the same time! This is a must see movie for everyone, not just kids, you will not be let down by this movie.
