“Kung Fu Panda 2” — A Hollywood Reporter Review

The Hollywood Reporter has weighed in with their review of Kung Fu Panda 2.

Here’s an excerpt:

Compelling villain and visual grace keep second second installment in what studio hopes will become six-picture franchise going strong.

“Kung Fu is dead!” Or so the rotund hero is told in this second installment of the “Kung Fu Panda” series from DreamWorks Animation, which itself is not taking the threat seriously, as the company is reportedly already mapping out plans for five entries in the franchise. Nor will the box office returns for the new film inhibit such long-range thinking, as the enhancement of 3D as well as a deeper, more involved storyline mark this as a slight improvement on the 2008 original, which raked in some $633 million worldwide.
