Kung Fu Panda 2 Review Thread (Spoilers) - Blu-ray Forum

Blu Myers · 05-28-2011, 01:24 AM

They definitely went for less laughs and more heart in KFP2, which was nice. I thought they really built Panda's character a lot more than the first too. 3D was great. Highly recommended.

4/5.

I'll probably see Hangover 2 tomorrow.

Same here. Here's to hoping we like it more than the critics.

You will like it more than critics, trust me.

Just be prepeared for some extreme cruelty and some disturbing scenes.

Really good movie! 1:30 went by really fast and the 3D was really good too.

We took our older girls to see it today. Everyone enjoyed it quite a bit, but there were a few parts that my 4 year old said her stuffed Po was scared. It was certainly more serious of a tone than the first one.

Very impressive debut for the director. 4/5 from the whole family.

I also want to add some theater employees came in and handed out KFP2 tattoos and pencils for the kids so they all have a few tat's on this morning

Really liked this movie...very well done. The action scenes were impressive and the movie has a really nice story. 5/5.

Saw this last night in 3D. We really enjoyed it. The animation and detail were stunning. Skadoosh!

Awww, that's so damned cute!

Yeah, I heard a child crying during a certain scene in the movie (I'm sure you know which one I mean).

"Gangmen" means "anus".

I'm pretty sure the city's name was actually "Gongmen".

And now that you can see that you're wrong, will you say that maybe they did know what they were doing?

This.

Quote:

"Gongmen City is a peaceful metropolis and a major location in Kung Fu Panda 2. It is currently under the rule of the Peacocks and protection of the Kung Fu Council. Within the city lies Lord Shen's palace, the Tower of Sacred Flame."

Not the best of sources, I'd say, but it was the first thing that came up when I google searched it. I think this more than prove it.

There are many ways of transliterating Chinese into English, but if you pay attention to how the Chinese voice actors actually pronounce the word, you'll hear that they're saying the words that mean "anus".
