"Kung Fu Panda" Mini-Review
The Professor gives it an
A+.
Two A+ Kung Fu movies in a row?
Yes, if anything "Kung Fu Panda" is better than "Forbidden Kingdom." I read the
L.A. Times reviewer who panned "Panda" and wonder if we even saw the same
movie!
How did she miss the subtlety of
the Po's (the panda) weaknesses becoming his strengths? How did she miss the
respect that the Furious Five grudgingly began to pay to him as the movie
progressed? How did she miss the fact that his irrational and ingenious
persistence "accidentally" put him in the position to be chosen as the unlikely
Dragon Warrior?
The dialogue even spelled
it out, and still the Times reviewer missed it: "I'm not a big, fat panda. I'm
THE Big, Fat Panda!"
The Big, Fat Panda
indeed. Kudos to Dreamworks, Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman, and Jackie Chan. Well
done.
