Kung Fu Panda 2 is a rare sequel that comes close to outdoing the first film. I personally think this is the best of the series, as not only does it improve on the already brilliant aspects of Kung Fu Panda, but also adds an unexpected emotional weight to the characters and proceedings. It still continues to be funny, but trust me, the emotional moments are bound to hit you in the feels. I almost cried watching those moments, and there itself knew this was one of the strongest entries in the franchise.

Kung Fu Panda 2 soars really high, and as the tagline on the poster says, delivers "twice the awesomeness". The action sequences involve more than just martial arts; the rickshaw chase sequence is still stuck in my head, and hands down one of the best scenes in the film. The story this time is actually more plot-driven, but also adds greater weight to the characters. Philosophy continues to be here, and it feels stronger whenever served. The voice acting is still a strong aspect, and I can't imagine the film without those voices. And the score, of course, remains a treat to the ears and a worthy aide to the proceedings.

In short, Kung Fu Panda 2 does what most action movie sequels do: intensify the action and give characters bigger and more lethal missions to deal with. But what it also does is make them fully realized so they stay with you even after the credits have rolled. This has to be one of the greatest sequels ever made, and of course, one of the most exciting animated action comedies out there. As an adult, I can assure you there's a lot for you, whether you're a kid or not.
