The storyline arc may seem a tad familiar to fans of the original, but Kung Fu Panda 2 offers enough action, comedy, and visual sparkle to compensate.

Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express 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. Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 2, 2019 Full Review Deborah Ross The Spectator Where, in short, is this film's personality, or even the characters' personalities, for that matter? Aug 31, 2018 Full Review Michael O'Sullivan Washington Post [A] satisfying, if less than sensational, sequel to the funny, charming and action-packed animated feature from 2008. Rated: 2/4 Nov 22, 2013 Full Review Sebastian Zavala Kahn Me gusta el cine 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. Rated: 4/5 Mar 16, 2024 Full Review Jana Monji Age of the Geek 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. Rated: 3/5 Mar 13, 2024 Full Review Nick Rogers Midwest Film Journal 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. Rated: 3.5/4 Nov 20, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

best out of the three Still an awesome movie, one of my favorite Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/24 Full Review Ben W Great fun. Surprisingly very emotional and heart touching. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/24 Full Review Fusion F Say whatever you want, but this is my favorite animated movie ever, Kung Fu Panda 2 is a really great sequel to its predecessor, the movie still manages to be fun, entertaining and beautifully animated but also goes to another level by becoming darker, more serious and complex. The writing here is just top notch, Lord Shen is literally the best villain of DreamWorks and the franchise, he’s just the perfect villain for this movie. Although I wished to see more of the Furious Five (mostly Tigress arc), this sequel is still perfect as it is and even better than the first movie. This is an ABSOLUTE MUST SEE FILM Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/10/25 Full Review Juan R. Great sequel absolutely the best movie in the whole franchise. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/09/25 Full Review Liam M Alright, so much to say about this film. My first priority, is to say that Lord Shen is one of my all time favorite villains. Po's backstory was incredible. The animation was spectacular, and everything was near perfect. The voice acting was especially stunning, Gary Oldman in particular, but the rest of the cast as well. Beautiful film, wonderful story, nothing more to say. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/09/25 Full Review PEKING D This is the best part. The shop is charming. Apo's character has sadness and comedy. The action is amazing. Therefore, it is considered the best part of this franchise. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/05/25 Full Review Read all reviews
