#KungFuPanda2 ranks among the best films DreamWorks has ever done! Well-executed & precisely calibrated crowd-pleasing machine: balancing action, comedy topped with heart giving it an all-around inner peace of hardcore awesomeness!
Very funny ! Great moments of action and comedy. 9/10.
Absolutely amazing, better than the original in my opinion, being able to have a more original story, better main villain & great animation & scenes, I recommend this to any & everyone
Just as good if not better than the first...
Wish I could find my inner peace
An emphatic return with a darker story; great movie with lots in it for the adults as well.

Awesome
very funny movie and grat faily movie. enjoyed it very much. we even started playing the wii game afer watching the movie lol.
In 2011 the sequel to the DreamWorks movie, Kung Fu Panda 2, appeared in theaters and it was very pleasant to see how this film has surpassed the standards imposed by the first one, being more exciting, touching and spiritual. Since its inception it evokes nostalgia for master Oogway, a character who died in the first film, when he is used for the production company logo. After there is the two-dimensional intro that pays homage to the one used in the first chapter of the saga. It is nice to see Po‘s maturation as a kung fu warrior and the development of the relationship it has with its friends, the five cyclones, who, despite having little space in this film, show how the union makes the force.
The villain, Lord Shen, a crown prince disowned by his parents for turning fireworks powder in powder for cannons, is the emblem of the progress that advances and tries to destroy the tradition, in this case the kung fu. A sheepguess predicts the defeat of the Lord by the hand of a black and white warrior, a clear reference to Po that embodies the balance of the Tao, and this will also be the key point on which the common history between the warrior and Lord Shen is based.
The fight scenes are stunning, but my favorite is the one where the dragon warrior can achieve inner peace that combines martial art and spirituality, making it truly spectacular.
I liked part 3 too but this sequel is a lot more memorable.
Being a fan of the first one, and wanting to know more about Po's history kung-fu panda has done a good job. Got me in the feelings when you found out anout how he was deserted as a baby panda. But has a good lead up at the end and into kung fu panda 3!
Better than the previous movie by a long shot. Lord Shen is the best villain this franchise has produced so far. Everything is perfectly placed in this movie. From comedy to dialogues... it's all very well executed.
A perfect sequel, this elevates the first film in almost every way! Maybe I'm just extra nostalgic today, but the third act had me tearing up multiple times. Without having seen 3 or 4, I want to say this the Endgame of Kung Fu Panda movies
A great sequel for a story that was so simple at first. You could clearly see they wanted to do more with the 2nd movie and beyond.
A little better than the first one. Again, the plot’s super basic and there’s not a beat you can’t predict, but there’s enough visual creativity and wit to make up for that. The set pieces are improved, the camerawork is smoother and they wisely dialed back the slapstick. It’s surprisingly mellow at times, you can defintely feel the Charlie Kaufman influence next to the other two. These movies really know how to use colour, especially the use of red is very striking, particularly in the third act. The villain is also much more memorable, I love the design of the peacock, and him being voiced by Gary Oldman is great (even though he lacks a proper motivation). So it fixes most of the problems I had with the first one, even though it lacks the risk taking and emotional substance that would elevate it beyond being just pretty decent.
6.5/10
Skadoosh! Kung Fu Panda 2 delivers another action-packed and exciting adventure that’s fun for all ages. As a new threat rises, the Dragon Warrior and the Furious Five must work together to defend all of China from tyranny. In addition to the original cast, Gary Oldman, Jean-Claude Van Damme, and Danny McBride lend their talents; creating interesting new characters. Additionally, the quality of the computer animation has improved, and the fight scenes are more elaborate. Full of thrills, Kung Fu Panda 2 is a solid sequel that’s sure to entertain.
I really dug a lot of this, from the expansion of Tigress to the action. But Gary Oldman and James Hong steal the show. Shen is a classically tragic and multifaceted villain, bolstered by strong writing and expressions as much as Oldman’s performance. He’s a slave to his ambitions and knows they won’t fill the crater inside, but has come too far to just stop. And Hong is phenomenal as always. Just so tender, so heartfelt. He only has a few scenes, but he owns every one and is rightly the emotional center of the ending.
Not as good as the first, but still really good.
Admittedly, I wasn’t the biggest fan of the first “Kung Fu Panda.” Don’t get me wrong, it’s alright, but that’s all. Just alright. The jokes about him being big and clumsy get old after an hour and a half, to the point where it almost seems like a movie that’s trying to (ironically) fat shame kids.
“Kung Fu Panda 2” is really more of the same. Same characters, same plot, same jokes. It’s extremely predictable with literally no surprises, giving the characters little depth. What we are presented with here is essentially a paint-by-numbers family film. If you’re okay with that, then more power to you. It’s pretty harmless brain candy, but if you’re looking for more substance or any way to challenge your kids a little, look elsewhere. Again, it’s just kind of...there. Ironically zen, in a way.
Really cute movie I didn't expect the ending to be like that
I liked this movie a lot more than the first one. I had a lot of fun.
disappointing nowhere near as good as the first just a let down really even for me who loves all animated flicks.
Excelente! Um dos poucos filmes bons da Dreamworks.
Pure awesomeness - strongly recommend this one!
Like the fellow trakters here already said it's just as great as the first one - maybe even better.
It has a great story, lots of action, it has peace ;) tons of humor (for every generation) and for a little designer like me stunningly graphics & beautiful animations.
Way to go Dream Works - you did an amazing job!
Just as great as the first Kung Fu Panda! Finally a sequel that doesn't disappoint, but lives up to the original. And finally a movie about evil peacocks, I've been waiting for that all my life!! And of course the beautiful animation style, lots of funny moments (if you like Jack Blacks awesomeness), a decent story and a great flow throughout the movie to keep things moving.
Highly recommended, just like the first one!
A really great movie. A worthy sequel to the first movie.
To be honest i was always wondering why a goose had a Panda as a son when i saw the first movie. But i thought that that was just how things were in that universe (You know, when pigs and bunnies with clothes are talking interspecies marriages and all that doesn't seem that weird). But this movie cleared that up fortunately.
According to Wikipedia this is Jennifer Yuh her first directing job. I have to say she did an awesome job on it. Not only is this her first directing job, she also made it the highest-grossing film ever directed by a woman.
Spoiler At the end they hint to already another sequel, when we see Po his father. I would like that very much. Maybe even a panda girlfriend for Po, that should be funny to watch too!

Legendary!
G, I love this movie.
Here are 15 lessons I learned from Kung Fu Panda 2
01 Never lose your sense of humor.
02 Nightmares are visualizations of your inner fears.
03 We must do, what we are afraid to do.
04 If your heart is filled with hate, it can never be filled with love.
05 Live in the moment. The here and now is the only thing that matters.
06 If you are angry, it doesn't help to release it on a pole or people next to you.
07 The problems we have, are only (reflections) inside our self.
08 If you want to find inner peace, you need to let go.
09 You are yourself your biggest enemy.
10 When you accept your past & accept who you are - you can access your full potential.
11 Anything is possible (if you are in inner peace).
12 Nobody can tell you who you are, you have to discover it for yourself.
13 Revenge can blow up in your face and your victory will be short lived.
14 Everything happens for a reason - even pain will result in meaning (loss of parents -> dragon warrior).
15 Never give up.
