Kung Fu Panda
2008 Directed by Mark Osborne, John Stevenson
Synopsis
Prepare for awesomeness.
When the Valley of Peace is threatened, lazy Po the panda discovers his destiny as the "chosen one" and trains to become a kung fu hero, but transforming the unsleek slacker into a brave warrior won't be easy. It's up to Master Shifu and the Furious Five -- Tigress, Crane, Mantis, Viper and Monkey -- to give it a try.

Am I crazy for saying this is one of my all-time favorite movies?
If so, then get me a straight jacket and send me to the nuthouse.
Am I also crazy for saying this is my favorite Dreamworks movie? Even more than Shrek?
If so, then tighten the straight jacket and add an extra lock to the nuthouse cell.

Unexpectedly great. I usually do not have much faith in Dreamworks but this just hit it out of the park for me. You will love Kung Fu panda if you loved cheesy kung fu movies, like to laugh and like watching good animation.

This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.

In my opinion, this should have beaten Wall-e for best animated feature. Its way more funnier, fast paced and a whole lot of fun. While Wall-e is funny (not as funny as this), slow and kind of boring. Jack Black is a great choice as Po making his character funny and also one that you would care for in a dangerous situation. The rest of the cast shines as well. The animation is very clever, The visuals are decent and the script (as i said) is hillarious. However I didn't really like the villian. He just didn't seem as bad as previous villains. But It still is a pretty good film.

A brilliant ode to Kung fu/martial arts movies of old, great soundtrack, brilliant storyline executed very well. Strong script, amazing animation, massively superior to its sequel.

Forget that it's from DreamWorks. Forget that it's a movie starring Jack Black. Forget that it's about a panda trying to learn kung-fu. Forget that the title is Kung Fu Panda.
This is a great film.
It has been a while since an animated film left me with my jaw dropped. It's a beautiful looking film, it's incredibly well directed, it's often hilarious, the fight scenes are amazing, and the score by Hans Zimmer is one of his best. The film can be quite moving at times, even if its story isn't that mindblowing. And Jack Black is very likeable as the protagonist.
Kung Fu Panda is truly a work of art, as weird as that may sound. It has become one of my favorite animated films.

The latest Dreamwork project lives up to expectations and delivers several laughs. The characters are great beggining with the main character Po who is voiced by Jack Black. Po dreams of being one of the legendary Furious Five, Kung Fu fighters he idolizes. The problem is he is a fat panda who works with his father in a noodle shop and he has no kung fu skills. The supporting characters are also great: The legendary five, the master Shifu, the wise turtle, and the villain Tai Lung are all interesting characters. After a series of accidents (although the wise turtle would correct me and tell me there are no accidents) Po´s dream comes true and ends up training with the…

@Camdun_Roar: Incredible action sequenses. I had a smile on my face the entire time. I replayed it as soon as it was done 8.5/10

One of the best animated films I've seen in a long while. Dreamworks is finally showing it can overcome the mediocrity of movies like Shrek, Bee Movie, and Madagascar, and put out a film that is not only fun, but shows excellence in animation as well. The CG animation is beautiful, and could easily stand up next to Pixar's work, and even the 2-D animated opening was beautifully done. I would've even loved to see them do the whole film in that style.
Plenty of laughs to be had for audiences of any age. A truly enjoyable movie.

Early morning watching of one of my favourite films. I'm not sure what it is that makes me love this so much. It's probably Jack Black.
Yeah. Definitely Jack Black. -
