Kung Fu Master The fascinating adventures of a funny panda named Po continue. He is no longer a dreamer but a true kung fu master. And his task is not just to learn something, but to save the whole martial art, and with it the whole of China (or even the whole world!). All that remains is to find inner peace. But how to find it, when there are a lot of questions, tormented by visions-memories, and even your father is a goose! In addition, there really appeared some pompous peacock with a thirst for revenge and a close connection with the past of the main character, what a spiritual inner peace... And kung fu panda in the company of the Furious Five goes on a long and dangerous journey, full of not only courage and battles, but also amazing humor.
The first thing to say about this movie is that it is an amazing comedy. Everything else fades into the background, when every three minutes you laugh to tears from the fun going on around you. Characters now and then joke, come up with something mischievous or just joke with the text. The bright voice adds even more color!
Due to the chic 3D visual part has become even more beautiful, even more expressive and fascinating. The second part pleases not only with the variety of volume, fluffy things coming out of the screen and objects constantly flying into the viewer, but also with the drawing of action, which is really in abundance here! Sometimes everything happens so quickly that you barely have time to catch who, what and where. But it captures it, like a drive attraction, like a ride on a roller coaster!
Unfortunately, adding new, albeit colorful, characters about the old almost forgotten. Livelihood on the screen is constantly teeming with the notorious “urban residents” in the spirit of pigs and rabbits, flying in all directions and running who to where, but the disclosure of the central characters can not even dream. Of course, except for Panda, who finally knows who he is and where he came from. We are immersed in various memories and flashbacks of the past, we see a charming panda in very young years, learn a lot of interesting things until the plot almost turns into, God forbid, “Lord of the Elements.” And for all the stinginess of information that fits in a couple of lines stretched over the entire long timekeeping of the cartoon, you can miss the funny and interesting story from the first film.
The sequel struggled, in addition to the primitive plot of revenge, to expand the theme of growing up, the theme of foster parents and the inner search for yourself. But it is one thing to mention in passing, and quite another to reveal, and even to reveal available in the framework of children's and family cinema. Of course, what is the point in an entertaining animated attraction to burden the unfolding adventures with deep drama, but the creators still try from time to time to switch the mood from an exciting trip to a serious and even sad way, despite the fact that every few minutes they still pour jokes to the right and left, and jokes are really amazing. By a certain point, when such a contrast of moods looms especially acute, you understand that you wanted to kill two birds with one stone, and in the end, the entertainment is spoiled by drama, and neither place nor time is given to a sensible plot.
The constant movement and intensity of events save you from all possible misfortunes, think about the depth of a particular topic, look for a multi-layered morality and even think about the plot there is simply no time! It captures the cartoon from the very first minutes, and leads such a bright and colorful sequence of actions that you have time either to laugh at the humorous part, or to open your eyes and mouth with magnificent three-dimensional effects! The animation is high, the action is above the roof, and about the main character we learned much more than we knew before. So the sequel is capable of both interest and great entertainment.
That’s just in addition to the panda Po, you want to learn a lot about the past of other heroes, about the Five and their unity, about the master and the turtle that has not crawled to the second part, of course, about the new three masters: a rhinoceros, a crocodile and a buffalo. But the cartoon confident pace demonstrates only mirroring surprisingly similar fates of the hero and villain in the embodiment of their categorical different character and worldview. That's not enough, of course. But it is enough for this story to operate from its beginning in the form of a legend, to the finale, after which you should want to see the third part! I want to believe that she will not keep herself waiting and will focus more on the heroes, and not on self-digging. Poe has already reached inner peace and now it is time for an even brighter team game. Looking forward to seeing you again!
