CJ Tan Said:
The first section of the movie, is quite thrilling, with a bit of suspense of the scary Tai Lung haunts. But later on, it becomes lighter & funnier to the end of the movie. Tai Lung doesn't seem to be scary as imagined from the earlier description. It becomes more fun & funny to watch the fights which is good. Because after all, this is a G rated movies, which includes kids of all ages, and as young as 3 yr old boys, just like my son. :)
The kungfu scenes run smoothly but too fast, I think. I couldn't catch all the movement, but it doesn't matter. As I enjoy it as the whole story. And of course, there are some slow motion scenes that you can see those funny expressions of Po with his bouncy tummy & sexy butt. He.. he.. :)
Jack Black, I don't normally like him in film because usually he played a character with rude jokes & acts,and some can be said as sarcastic. But as Po, I applause his effort, because somehow, I can get the image of Po as though he is a bit of 'kampong boy', but he is sincere, honest & kind at heart. :)
Verdict:
It's a really fun & entertaining movie to watch for the whole families.
