Review: Kung Fu Panda 2

The first Kung Fu Panda back in 2008 was surprisingly good, so big things were expected from this sequel to the original adventures of Jack Black's martial arts animal.

However what we get is a poor film that seems longer than it really is, thanks to the incredibly formulaic pattern of joke about being fat followed by action sequence being repeated insensately over 90 minutes from start to finish with a lame adoption storyline tagged on to it as well. The impressive voice cast is wasted also, as looking back at the credits you realise some of the star names only had the odd line thanks to the reliance on Po's antics.
