After three death-defying adventures defeating world-class villains with his unmatched courage and mad martial arts skills, Po, the Dragon Warrior (Golden Globe nominee Jack Black), is called upon by destiny to... give it a rest already. More specifically, he's tapped to become the Spiritual Leader of the Valley of Peace. That poses a couple of obvious problems. First, Po knows as much about spiritual leadership as he does about the paleo diet, and second, he needs to quickly find and train a new Dragon Warrior before he can assume his new lofty position. Even worse, there's been a recent sighting of a wicked, powerful sorceress, Chameleon (Oscar® winner Viola Davis), a tiny lizard who can shapeshift into any creature, large or small. And Chameleon has her greedy, beady little eyes on Po's Staff of Wisdom, which would give her the power to re-summon all the master villains whom Po has vanquished to the spirit realm. So, Po’s going to need some help. He finds it (kinda?) in the form of crafty, quick-witted thief Zhen (Golden Globe winner Awkwafina), a corsac fox who really gets under Po’s fur but whose skills will prove invaluable. In their quest to protect the Valley of Peace from Chameleon’s reptilian claws, this comedic odd-couple duo will have to work together. In the process, Po will discover that heroes can be found in the most unexpected places.

Critics Consensus

Kung Fu Panda 4 offers enough eye-catching entertainment to sustain the franchise's young fans, although it's starting to feel like this series is running out of steam.

Audience Says

Kung Fu Panda 4 is fun for the whole family -- maybe not as much fun as the first three, but still a good time.

Like its villain, “Kung Fu Panda 4” can do an imitation, but we can tell it’s not the genuine article.

Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)

If the script was sharper or funnier and if the gags were better maybe you wouldn't notice, but it does feel like a lot of it is a bunch of people in recording booths doing some schtick and them animating around it.

Times (UK)

The plot may be cursory — Po has to graduate to spiritual leader of the Valley of Peace and find a successor for his job as dragon warrior — but Black attacks it with knockabout zeal.

Rated: 4/5

Discussing Film

While it may not be quite as amazing as the first two films, the inspired craftsmanship and sincere messages of Kung Fu Panda 4 make up for its few flaws.

Jack Martin

Film Feeder

While it is the weakest in the series thus far, at least from a storytelling and even styling standpoint, Kung Fu Panda 4 gives audiences most of what they want to see, which should generate enough inner peace with anyone who goes to check it out.

Rated: 3/5

Bill from Winchester

I have seen all the movies in this series and this one didn’t disappoint even though some of the other characters weren’t in it. Still a good one to watch in the theater. I took my daughter to see it because she loves martial arts.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

I wish I could say I loved it but, it had its flaws. It’s a enjoyable movie but wish they would’ve improved the story a little bit more

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Of the two movies I saw for my birthday, this was my favorite. Not as good as other fourth movies (Toy Story, Shrek), but the franchise still has some fun moments, mainly from the fathers
