Movies like these need more recognition!!

A perfect sequel to the original that was released in 2008. The return of Jack Black reprising his role as Po. Also the return of the Furious 5 which played a bigger role on this rollercoaster than the first! Angelina Jolie has pushed her character foward with her friendship with Po redeeming herself as a whole.

Lord Shen, the antagonist played by Oscar Winner Gary Oldman makes a great performance voicing the menacing peacock.

This focuses on the conflict of the past as Shen and Po have dark history.

As the moral message of the movie, its all about forgiving the past and accepting the present, giving chance for change to occur in others instead of fighting over something that cannot be changed.

John Powell and Hans Zimmer have nailed the soundtrack as expected making personal favourites (Zen Ball Master, Po Finds the Truth). Action Sequences made it all so satisfying as the fighting matched with the orchestea drums and beats.

Wish that the side characters got more lines as they felt very left out. Regocognition for James Hong, Lucy Liu, David Cross, Seth Rogen, Jackie Chan and Dustin Hoffman)

Humour wasn't as good as before but Jack Black's presence made up for it. Tone of red and black ressembled around Shen, surrounded by heated metal gave that strong theme of death making him as more intimidating.

Effort of the designers exploring China themselves to get inspiration of buildings and landscape was worth the time, made all the locations the characters visited feel like its a real place.

Key Quotes came in strong!

"The only thing that matters, is who you choose to be now" "Anything is possible, when you have inner peace" "Happiness must be taken, and I will take mine" "You think knowing will heal you? Fill some crater in your soul?"

WORTH THE WATCH.
