Kung Fu Panda 3 boasts the requisite visual splendor, but like its rotund protagonist, this sequel's narrative is also surprisingly nimble, adding up to animated fun for the whole family.

Kung Fu Panda 3 concludes on a definite high note, filled with eye-popping animated set pieces as well as thrilling story beats that I was perfectly entertained by.

Chesapeake Family Magazine

Kung Fu Panda 3 revisits the same themes as its predecessors ... But that familiarity doesn't lessen the film's emotional impact and solid laughs.

Rated: 4/5

Independent (UK)

It may serve up exactly the same mix of mayhem, noodles and dumplings as the first two films in the series, but Kung Fu Panda 3 is still energetic and wildly entertaining fare.

The biggest problem with “Kung Fu Panda 3” is tone: while the first two films WERE funny, the third film TRIES to be funny with too much hyperactivity and “gags” everywhere, saturating the viewers instead of making them laugh. Full review in Spanish.

Rated: 2.5/5

While this is the weakest of the now four feature films, it does give Po his father and show his two fathers negotiating team parenting. Po must find his chi and fight jade zombies with the help of his biological father's panda village.

It’s a good and fun movie. Not quite as good as the previous two, but a worthy entry in the franchise. Recommend for sure.

This third kung fu panda movie was also lame and this movie also sucks just like the second and first kung fu panda movies and just like shrek and this movie's budget was a waste of a million dollars and money and a waste of time just like shrek.

Bello, il cattivo regge la scena, il protagonista però non è più quello del primo film... Non diverte così tanto e la trama e il contenuto non reggono il confronto con il primo capitolo, forse con il secondo.
