This wasn't a movie I really intended to watch, although I was aware of it and had a vague interest in seeing it when it was first released. Kung Fu Panda just happened to be on when we were staying at a cottage in North Devon for a few days. It therefore seemed like a good opportunity to sit down and relax one evening.
As long as you're not expecting too much, Kung Fu Panda is quite enjoyable. Po the Panda (Black) dreams of being a kung fu master, and ends up getting his chance when he is picked as the Dragon Warrior. However, things aren't usually that easy, and Po has basically none of the skills needed to become the Dragon Warrior. Needless to say, the other kung fu fighters aren't happy about this state of affairs. Neither is Po's dad.
Now, this is an animated children's movie, so I'm sure you've already worked out that things turn out for the best. You know basically what's coming every step of the way, but that's no great surprise with a movie like this. An easy watch if you know what you're getting yourself in to.
Rating: 3 out of 5
