Well at least I tried watching it. It is beautiful yes, but too little action for my taste..
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.
Kung Fu Panda is an animated DreamWorks film, directed in 2008 by Mark Osborne and John Stevenson. It tells the story of a panda that, while helping his father in the noodle shop, dreams of becoming a martial arts master. When, one day, by chance, it sees himself thrown into the world of the Jade Palace to be educated, it is considered a hopeless case because of its physical form. Fortunately it manages to surprise everybody when the ferocious Tai Lung decides to return to destroy the valley.
The cartoon is a nice tribute to the world of martial arts and a great motivator for the children that can reflect themselves in the main character, Po. In fact, first of all, it is able to pick itself up in a bullying situation and to gain the respect of his “enemies” and, secondly, it shows how if you really want something and work to get it in a merry way, you may realize your dreams. Not to mention the fact that Po is an atypical hero, fat and with food problems – a very common thing in children today, but little shown in movies and on television – who uses his strengths to improve itself. The secondary characters are very nice, especially master Shifu that reminds me of Yoda from Star Wars, and the five cyclones that refer to the five styles of imitative kung fu: Tiger, Snake, Crane, Mantis and Monkey.
I'm glad that this movie shows children how important bees are.
Humans need bees to survive. The bees declined with 40% last year which is a huge problem.
If the bees die many things will change for us.
Fruits and Vegetables Will Stop Growing, Dairy Products Would Disappear, Cotton Wouldn’t Grow, Food Costs Will Sky Rocket, Malnutrition Will Be a Huge Problem overall a Worldwide Economic Crash and a disaster for the whole human race.
It is wrong to steal all their honey! Bees often get killed right after they worked their asses off for us.
Or they barely have any food left for themselves.
And that's the sad story behind the bees. We should treat them way better than most humans do.
So next time you see a bee, Be thankful for everything it does in your life instead of killing it.
Because we really need all of them!
It may not be a masterpiece, I agree on that, but I really loved this movie. I like when Disney keeps it simple and things like family, friendship, love, fear and courage shine in one simple movie. I was teary in two moments of the movie and hoping that everything turns out good for Arlo and Spot. It was beautiful, simple but really beautiful. It was a good reminder that "courage doesn't exist without fear".
I am a 25 year old man who watched this with my 2 daughters. I cried. My daughters did not. Film was enjoyable by all however. Watched it a second time with my Mrs, she cried twice! Made me feel a little better about it all.
Bale did a great job acting, but was hard to enjoy the film as a whole. Clever at times, only to be drug along with slow pacing. Decent beginning, the middle is a total snoozefest and decent ending.
Really hard movie to rate. Slow and long. It was interesting but rarely entertaining. Some really quality acting especially from Bradley Cooper, and of course Jennifer Lawrence. I want to give it a score around 8. But I can't get round the superflous scenes and fact that it was mostly boring.
Yup could (even should) be better... but there are some good parts in it.
I liked Al Pacino (and the short appearance of Johnny Depp is awesome too, but that's probably just 'cause I'm a huge J.Depp fan!)
So not awful, but not really great either.
This movie is Humphrey Bogart at his best. He plays the typical cool guy like no one else ever could. Add to that a jilted romance and a backdrop of World War II and you have the makings of an unforgettable movie. There are lots of high rated classics that I found myself disappointed by, but this movie doesn't disappoint at all.
An exceptional masterpiece.
I heard about all the praise the movie received but after watching it, it is now easily in my top movies of all time.
Here's looking at you, kid
A Classic Gem !
Pretty much a perfect movie. The direction, the performances, the cast, the locations, the lines... All superb. Love the relationship between Bogie and Raines.
This movie was pretty damn good. And up until the last 20 minutes it was about to be my new favorite movie. It kinda loses it at the end but boy was it fun and original. I could see watching this as a kid and it sticking with me.
I found this movie to be entertaining and engaging. Kids will enjoy all the adventure and action. Disney did a good job. I did pick up on the environmental undertone of this movie. That through our actions we are heading to our own end. I thought Hugh Laurie had the best end speech near the end of the movie. It was, to me, an honest account of how we are as human beings.
The key phrase in this movie is that our children are our future and that we should never give up or except the path we are on, rather it is up to us to change it to make the world a better place so we may continue to survive and thrive.
I found there to be quite a bit of humor in this film as well and not the kind that went over kids heads to appeal to the grown ups. Granted when I went I didn't see many kids, if any in the theater at the time. That was probably due to the rating of 14+. The word 'hell' is used a few time so I have no doubt it played it's part.
The acting was well done and I would definitely call this a family movie and would recommend this to people.
very good movie, Franco did it right this time!
The Arm cutting was horrible and unwatchable.....!
Everything was perfect, the shooting, the acting, the plot were all near perfect to us.
#leson learnt- Keep a note before you go anywhere.
Very Inspiring.
