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.

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

The Spectator

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

Washington Post

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

Rated: 2/4

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

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

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.

This is a amazing sequel to the master piece of a movie Kung fu panda. The villain Shin is written way better than than rest of movie villains even the original even though I love the first film a lot. That said if you haven't seen the film yet your missing out. The first 2 film are cinema master pieces.
