What makes something special "special"? Is it an added ingredient to a recipe? A signature move to a skill? Putting in a lot of flowery words to a speech?
This question was eloquently answered in the movie, and this ultimately decided the fate of the Valley as their powerful enemy Tai Lung escapes the heavily-fortified prison and plans to get the Dragon Scroll - which keeps the secret to becoming the all-powerful Dragon Warrior - by force.
Unnervingly placed in the predicament is Po, a happy-go-lucky Panda Bear that loves martial arts and dreams for adventures while helping out his father run the noodle shop, a family business. Such is fate, for you should be careful of what you wish for or you just might get it. Po got his wish, but not the approval of the five Martial Arts Masters who trained hard to protect the village and ultimately, each desiring to be chosen as the Dragon Warrior.
Excellent animation, action, and lots of humor make this a family favorite. At first I thought only Jack Black was the only actor lending his voice to the movie, but was surprised to learn that other famous people were behind the other voices as well: Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie, Jackie Chan, Lucy Liu, Ian McShane, David Cross, Seth Rogen, Michael Clarke Duncan, James Hong, Randall Duk Kim. And here's another trivia: our very own Sam Concepcion sang the song "Kung Fu Fighting" for the movie! Isn't that grand?
(The toys from Mcdonald's are real nice too!)
Never a dull moment. This is the epiphany of awesomeness. Go watch it!
great, great movie! I'm watching it again!
ReplyDeleteJames Hong? That guy is in practically all the Asian-themed movies that Hollywood makes. hehe. I just saw Concepcion's version of the song on youtube. He sounds like an R&B singer, but whose name I can't think of.
ReplyDeleteKinukulit ako ng kids ko for that Kung Fu Panda. Im looking for the DVD pirated version of it (im bad ano, looking for pirated, hehe). Wala pa e. puro clear copy palang.
ReplyDeleteKuya Nick! You should add something like a rating here. Use bags of chippy or humpy dumpy instead of bags of pop corn para Pinoy ang dating! Hehehe.
ReplyDeleteWhen will you review Sex and the City? *wink*
Doc: If somebody invites me to watch it again, I will too!
ReplyDeleteWil: Nice, huh? Another Filipino in the music scene.
jho: hahaha! Sa cinema na lang panoorin, tapos diretso sa McDo!
Fionski: Actually, meron kaming rating system noon kaya lang di na ginagamit...
Wait na lang din ako ng pirated..hehehe.

ReplyDeleteLoved this movie! I didn't know about all the other big name stars lending their voices to the movie either. I was surprised when the credits rolled.
