If I could describe "Kung Fu Panda 2" in two words, they would be: Amazingly kick-ass. I was really in awe during all the fighting scenes. All of the action scenes (and when I say 'all', I mean ALL) were superb. They were easily the best part of this sequel.

In "Kung Fu Panda 2", viewers are introduced to a new evil villain who is bent on controlling all of China. Po, along with the Furious Five, are set on defending the Valley of Peace from this menacing peacock who has created a very powerful weapon.

Aside from the action and hilarity this sequel has, viewers now get to see the background of Po and how he came to be. That was a nice touch. The emotional impact was great and quite rare when we talk about films made by DreamWorks.

This sequel will leave you satisfied, but still wanting more. When it comes to sequels, it's either a surefire hit or a sad, sad miss. Thankfully, Po and his friends did not disappoint with this film, although the original was still better. The first film was a lot funnier and had more continuity. This second film lacked those. But hey, the action scenes were excellent! I will still be hopefully waiting for a third installment to this series.
