Critics Consensus

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.

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.

Where, in short, is this film's personality, or even the characters' personalities, for that matter?

[A] satisfying, if less than sensational, sequel to the funny, charming and action-packed animated feature from 2008.

4/5

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.

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.

3.5/4

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.

This was a great ride, and truth be told, many of the shots were even more impressive than the original - and I loved the visuals from the original. I'm not sure how I missed this amazing sequel when it was in theaters 15 years ago, but glad it bubbled back up like a drop of dew into my life. First off, they got the original cast back together, which provided a nice continuity that is sometimes lacking in sequels - especially in animated features. And wow, this cast. Some acting talent from many backgrounds all working together to provide just the right amount of humor and emotional impact throughout. The addition of Gary Oldman as the main antagonist and Michelle Yeoh as the wise Soothsayer provide some incredible anchors to this tale.

Good movie, but a little too long. Plot dragged out a bit.

I'd say this is basically even with the first one. The first one is better on comedy, and the second one has a much stronger story. Evens out really nicely.
