This is probably the tenth time I'm watching this film until I finally decided to describe my thoughts on it, this franchise was one of the main ones who shaped my childhood the most, when i was young I definitely remembered it mostly for the epic fight scenes, which there are plentiful of and are top notch and contain loads of fun. But watching it as an adult is an entirely different experience,the message about embracing your past and accepting it is heartwarming and fantastic, and is delivered exponentially that I got shivers through my whole body, I love that they expanded on the emotional field so much without taking a fraction of what this movie is for children, and the darker and gloomier theme definitely suits it.

The movie also does everyrhing a sequel needs, it shows character development, didn't revolutionize to much and expanded on the plot and the universe of the film.

In particular po's and tigress's relationship is genuinely beautiful throughout the franchise, the combination of a warm and joyful panda combined with Tigress's composure and warrior personality genuinely provide wonderful moments together when they begin embracing the other's emotional compartments. And their relationship is a blessing to the franchise. Also the music is top notch like you would expect from 2 top notch composers.

This franchise(and in particular this movie) has a very special place within my heart and I will love it forever, I feel so lucky to be born at the same time as the golden age of cinema.

10/10 will forever remain as one of the greatest sequels to any movie.
