Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.3|5.0
Stars ììì
Kung Fu Panda 2—bland,
bordering on a message movie more than good, computer animated entertainment—caters
to a child rather than adult audience.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
Maybe.
If your child is following the series, the film is necessary to understanding
the sequels. Otherwise, Rango, Hop, or
Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil are more entertainment for your dollar.
