I love Martial Art movies. Anything with Sonny Chiba, Bruce Lee and Donnie Yen I'll eat up. There's just something about a good ass kicking that gets the blood running and puts you in this fantasy like real world where anything can happen, I love that. I also love me some Animation, The Incredibles has to be my all time favorite American Animated movie, But I have never liked Dream Works Animation movies. I hate Shrek with every fiber of my pathetic mortal soul and anything else they tried just never felt 'right'. Until now that is.

Kung Fu Panda is about the laziest animal in all of the Valley of Peace, a Enthusiastic Fan boy-Panda named Po, who is just a geek that dreams of becoming like one of his Martial Art Heroes. But when he is chosen to be the next Dragon Warrior his dream becomes reality and is soon put through hellacious Training to stop the vengeful and treacherous snow leopard Tai Lung, who escapes from Prison after hearing the new Dragon Warrior has been chosen, to Claim what he thinks is his Birthright.

Now I absolutely love this Movie. Call me a sucker for Anthropomorphic Martial artists but this movie just works. The animation is beautiful and fluid, the Action scenes
are enough for me to geek out over, the Story is pretty decent and the Comedy ain't bad. I actually found myself laughing quite a lot during the movie for it being a kid's movie. Jack Black plays our protagonist, now I really don't like him outside Tenacious D, but he's actually funny in this film. He fits the Character of Po very well, as do all the other Voice actors, not once was I less than 100% convinced this is what the characters would sound like.

If you like Kung Fu or animation at the slightest, Do yourself a favor and Go watch it, you won't be disappointed. Also, Please support this movie before Hulk completely and utterly Smashes(Pun intended, hehe) it at the Box office. This Film deserves a sequel, much like The Incredibles (Come on Mr. Bird!) And it actually is probably now my Favorite American Animated Movie.

Yeah I just saw this last night and loved it too. The only thing that got me was that some of the action I thought might have moved too fast for kids to get it, because some of the comedy was within the fighting, but I still loved it.

I liked it alot too. The setting was fresh for an animated animal movie and at the same time wasn't too out there to create a practical and entertaining plot. The animation was of course very stunning and the casting was perfect. Jack Black was hilarious as always and Dustin Hoffman added alot. Jackie Chan as Monkey was a nice throw in too and I didn't even notice it until the credits.
As far as how the movie played out, I really enjoyed the fighting, especialy Tai Lung's escape and fight with the Furious Five. It was all around just cool sequences, reminecent of TMNT, but these were mixed in with primary comedy.
Really I just liked it alot better than I thought I would, defenately wasn't a one-timer like I thought. Pixar is superior IMHO, but this was the best thing I've seen out of the DreamWorks camp. Of course, I haven't seen anything of there's besides this since Shrek 2, so I probably shouldn't be running my mouth.

Judas Fucking Priest! what's with all the spam on here lately?

Anyways Glad to hear other people enjoyed it too. I'm hoping with the success of this movie, and the success of The Forbidden Kingdom, maybe we'll start to get more Martial Arts movies here in the states.
