Kung Fu Panda 4
“The BEST Kung Fu Panda movie to date,” they say. Now, as fan of the series I can say this much; as a movie it’s not half bad, but as a Kung Fu Panda movie, it kind of pales in comparison to the other 3 movies in the series.
As far as positives go, the animation and fight scenes are quite the spectacle. But, this is all I can give from the movie, as the other sides of it are poorly paced, lacking the return of characters, lack of interesting new characters, a villain with a lot of wasted potential, reusing clichés and the story is much less original; it just feels like a much worse version of Kung Fu Panda 2.
And the scene where the old villains bow to Po makes no sense, Tai Lung you can maybe get away with if paced better, but not Kai and Shen; they would either spit on him or flip him off.
Overall, just barely passable.
5/10
