Review: 
Here we welcome the sequel of the Big Panda - Kungfu Panda 2" Ska2oosh! Kungfu Panda was released for the first time in 2008 and it caught its audiences. It's one of the best animation ever made and I really enjoy it. And now it's time for the sequel after 3 years. One of the specter of the sequel movie is it usually worse than the first. It's a bit boring and lame, it seems forced to be made out. Can Kungfu Panda destroy that specter? I will say definitely yes, big yes for this second one. For me, it's better than the first one and I enjoy it very much. 
You can call the story move on from the first one but it can stand alone too. So for you all who hasn't watched the first movie, it doesn't matter you still can understand all over it. It's all about a Panda named Po who is destined to be a dragon warrior and his five friends, Snake, Crater, Tiger, Mantis, and Monkey. In this sequel they will face a new enemy, a peacock named Shen who is known later to be a killer of Po's parents and Panda family. And in the end, kindness always defeat wickedness. 
The story may be boring and lame all over the place since the element of this kind is always the same. But this one is really not boring and lame at all. I enjoy it for the first time I sat in the theater seat till I got off from it. It's really exciting for the very first minute. The comedic and fun element in this story makes me laugh out loud through out the movie. The mimic of the character is funny and entertaining. The script is very smart as always for an animation. It's a really a kids movie that adult will also enjoy it a lot. It's like seeing a kungfu movie in animation style. It's so good.
The voices for the character are doing by well known actors/actresses, Jack Black, Angelina Jolie, Jackie Chan, Michelle Yeoh, etc. They are really great actors/actresses who can rise the character. They build their own character really good. It's fun, funny and entertaining for me. They do everything in good proportion and I will credit to all of that guys.
The effects are spectacular. I bet the 3D one is better than the 2d, but since I watched the 2D one I just can comment on this. The 2D one even it doesn't pop out from the screen still it's great to see. I like the combination of the color playing in this movie. I feel like wow it's so beautiful to see the scene by scene in this movie. The firework thing, the cannonball are beautiful. It's awesome to see all the color burst from one side to the other side. It's really perfectly good.
Overall, it's a great and perfect sequel for Kungfu Panda. I Bet there must be a next one for completing the trilogy so I can't hardly wait for it. So guys, adults and kids, I recommend you to watch this one because it's very entertaining and fun. Believe me. :D

Good points: 
-   The story and smart script is entertaining
-   The combination of the color is awesome 
-   Funny and fun all over the movie 

Bad points:
-   I don't think it's the bad point but the duration is so short. I can't enjoy enough of it :D

Rating: 8.0/10.0
