Kung Fu Panda Review Summary
"Kung Fu Panda had me laughing out loud the whole movie!" is a familiar refrain from the Viewpoints moviegoers. Jack Black and Dustin Hoffman add their voice talents to this animated martial arts film. A panda bear becomes the unlikely kung fu hero, thrust into the position in a most unlikely way. Featuring an underdog hero,
Kung Fu Panda is definitely reminiscent of the classic
Karate Kid, as well as the more recent
The Forbidden Kingdom. Reviewers remark that kids enjoy the creative techniques, such as the
"wu-shi finger hold," as well as the humor and cute animals, although some parents caution to look out for a few questionable language references and that some young children could get scared in the fight scenes. Adults weren't left out here, calling Kung Fu Panda a
"great movie with a message behind it."
