The kid in me strikes again. Oh yes! Last June 15, My best friend and I watched Kung Fu Panda. As expected the movie house was full of little kids. Watching kid movies like Kung Fu Panda reminds me of how great it is to be always a kid.
I have been facing a lot of problems lately and the best way to release all the stess that I have been carrying for weeks now was to watch Kung Fu Panda. I have seen the full trailer of the movie and right then and there I knew I am going to watch the movie, with our without a companion. I have always been a huge fan of kids movies and this one was a total winner.
Kung Fu Panda is a story of a Panda named Po whose dream is to fight with the five greatest warriors the world has ever known (The Legendary Furious Five) but the problem is that, Po don’t have any experience with Kung Fu. One day the Jade temple announces for the search of the next Dragon Warrior, everybody in the City including Po headed to the temple to witness who’s going to be the next Dragon Warrior.
Po almost didn’t make it, luckily he was able to come up with a very brilliant idea. He sat on a chair and put a firecracker in every corner of it and then light them up. His plan was a success and his idea made it look like he fell down from the sky. When the great Oogway was about to point his finger to the next Dragon Warrior, Po suddenly fell right infront of him. Master Shiffu thought that it was an accident but Master Oogway insisted that there is no accident and that Master Shiffu must train him to become the next Dragon Warrior.
As the new Dragon Warrior, Po must protect the City from any threats and from the evil Tai Lung. It also means that he is now working with the legendary furious five. At first, Master Shiffu did everything he could to make Po change his mind and eventually back out of the training but he failed. Until one day he saw something amazing from Po that made him train Po to become the Dragon Warrior.
Having the heart of a true Dragon Warrior, it was easy for Po to defeat Tai Lung and he was able to save the City from all of his distractions.
Just like any other movies, it has a moral lesson that the creator of the film wants to convey to the audience. If you were able to watch the film I am sure you know what it was. For those who didn’t have the chance to watch the movie, the lesson of the movie is that no matter how good you are, it will not really matter if you only care for your own good and not for the good of the entire people.
The movie is 1 hour and 30 minutes long with a rating of General Patronage. As a movie fan, I will give this movie a rating of 10 for a job well done.








still gotta see Kung Fu Panda… Jack Black is classic for sure; he’ll be forever famous for his work in School of Rock
