What I learned from experience is that when a third instalment of an unplanned trilogy comes out (especially in the area of animation), it normally manages to disappoint me immensely. Kung Fu Panda 3though accomplished the exact opposite; it surprised me in a very positive way and left me with a smile on my face. I am stunned at how good this second sequel was and am glad to have decided to go watch it at all, because I was thinking of skipping this one.
I was introduced very late to this franchise, as I decided not to go and watch the first one when it came out in theatres due to the reason that I despise Jack Black as an actor. About two years ago some friends of mine bought the Kung Fu Panda 2 Blu-ray and invited me to watch it, when I told them that I didn’t see the first one they threw in the first movie and made me watch it. I was pleasantly surprised and became a fan of this animation series.
The story focuses as always on Po (Black), who is the protagonist of the Kung Fu Panda film series and needs to step up and become a master. Po is not up to the task at first, humiliating himself and his friends during their first training session. He meets his biological father (Cranston) who happens to appear at the same time as Kai (Simmons), the villain in this movie, who escaped the spirit realm stealing the chi from every master. It is than revealed that Po needs to go to the secret panda village to learn the way of the chi and save the world from Kai. While mean Po’s adopted dad (Duk Kim) goes through some jealousy issues and follows Po to the panda village.
Although good, this movie did have issues, especially due to the fact that the producers and directors decided not to mix up the plot a little bit more but instead used the same formula as in the last two Kung Fu Panda films. Po fools around, then loses his believe in himself and finds new strength and at the end... well you know what happens. The fact that there is no fresh component makes this animation feel extremely repetitive. Also since it is very fast paced, some of the emotional sequences don’t really pay off and therefore it seems as if there would be a lack of depth. Other than that, I had a blast watching Kung Fu Panda 3!
This is a great and enjoyable movie with a good message for children and adults alike, about how being yourself and not trying to emulate someone else will bring out your true strength. The dialogues were funny and witty, as with the previous films, and contain the right amount of banter between Po and the rest of the Jade Palace crew. It also profits from well-choreographed action sequences and the implementation of family values is one thing I especially liked. In my opinion Kung Fu Panda 3 is a perfect family movie, because it has a story that both, children and adults, will enjoy!
Poe’s character is still clumsy and very naive, but what I like about these animated pictures is that they never reset the knowledge that he gained from the previous instalments, instead each segment sets the character up for his next challenge and training. In my opinion, Jack Black gives his best performances playing Po in this franchise and I enjoyed every minute he was on screen giving of smart-mouthed remarks, kicking butt and making a fool of him.
Bryan Cranston played Li, Po’s biological father, and he gave a fantastic vocal rendition. In Kung Fu Panda 2 we saw how protective Li can get when it comes to the safety of his family, in this sequel we see his other side and he is a lovely and caring father. Is he a perfect “person”? No, he isn’t. He has flaws like all of us do, but he is the most sympathetic character in this animation. The introduction of Po’s biological father is great because it gave Mr. Ping, played by James Hong, a larger role and we get to see new facets of his persona.
Kai, voiced by J.K. Simmons, was a fantastic villain but I found him to be a little bit underused, because the story focused more on Po’s family drama than the dangerous Kai who escaped the realm of souls. Simmons sounded like a threatening and seriously disturbed character and his double-chained blades reminded me of Kratos from the God of War game series.
Kung Fu Panda 3 has great and incredibly fluid animation and I was amazed at how many rich details it contained. I also liked the use of split screens during the action sequences and the hand drawn animation used during flashbacks, which not only meshed beautifully with the computer animation but it actually looked as if it were painted on a scroll. It also makes use of a wide colour palette with beautiful and strong colours, like gold, reds and yellows that are mixed with more subtle blues and lilacs.
Hans Zimmer returned as composer for this animated motion picture and he created a beautiful soundtrack that includes Asian musicians, such as the Chinese cellist Jian Wang and pianist Lang Lang. The music also included a portion of the Imagine Dragons song “I’m so Sorry”.
Verdict: Kung Fu Panda 3 was a surprisingly well-scripted action-adventure animation that carried on the story of Po from the two previous movies. It did have a couple of flaws that took some of the fun away, but overall I had a great time watching this in the theatre. It has a mesh of beautiful looking animation styles and includes fantastic vocal renditions of well-known actors including Bryan Cranston and J.K. Simmons. This movie will make for a great time for both adults and children, and it is a film I do recommend you go see in cinemas. I will give Kung Fu Panda 3 an 8 out of 10.
