If you saw my other review for Kung Fu Panda, you would know that not only was Kung Fu Panda a surprising film, it was an overall great film for all ages. I still love the original KFP. So much so that I was pumped for KFP2. Then the trailers came out and I was getting a bad feeling with them. The first teaser with the staring contest is great but the actual trailer rubbed me the wrong way. I'm not entirely sure what it was, but I think the trailer made the movie seem way more focused on comedy than anything else. That would be a problem because KFP1 did a great job at being more than a comedy. Regardless, I want to see it anyway, and oh my god! This movie is not only as good as the first but its even better. Everything is stepped up to the next level. The story, the characters, & the villain are all stepped up from the first. The movie goes for 2 acts and its great, but at the end of the second act something happens, and the entire way I saw this series changed. The third act in this movie is something you have to see to be believed. If you don't know, this movie gets extremely emotional and legitimately sad to the point of tears for me. I know it sounds so strange that a movie about a kung Fu fighting panda made me cry. But that's the biggest strength to these movies. They are so much more than just that. I'm not the only one who cried either. The group I was in when I saw it were crying as well as most of the audience. They're are not very many sequels as good as Kung Fu Panda 2! If there is a gripe I would say it isn't as funny as the first. Considering the rest of the movie, that's an extremely small complaint. Its a film that moved me to tears and a film that may be the most surprisingly moving film I've ever seem. Again considering the movie is called Kung Fu Panda 2 staring jack black.
