Viewer Reviews (TMDb)
_Kung Fu Panda 4_ isn’t the best _Kung Fu Panda_ film, or even the best of the series’ three sequels. However, as a fourth film in a franchise, it’s a ton of fun. And though it’s action isn’t quite as entertaining as its predecessors and it’s unfortunate to see Awkwafina playing…
Chris Sawin · 6/10This is probably my favourite of the franchised animated action-comedies, but I think we are now clearly running out of conceptual steam. With "Po" being told by "Master Shifu" that it is now time for him to move onwards and upwards - much to his chagrin - he must recruit a new d…
CinemaSerf · 6/10**Written by kindergartners using AI** Even after more than 10 years, I still miss the first Kung Fu Panda movie as it was genuinely a masterpiece. The story, action, dialogues, character building, the tension between Tai Lung and Shifu, everything was fabulous. Well, I can go on…
dumasori · 2/10I'm into movies that simulate the 'watching a video game' experience. Classic Shang Tsung end boss. Shadow of the Colossus gameplay. Maybe a diss to Dune? It's predictable and full of dumb shit but I found myself enjoying it. Jables does good. I found abrasion to be front-loaded…
Chandler Danier · 8/10Out of nowhere, this fox character manifests! Out of nowhere, this panda character manifests! Out of nowhere, these villain characters manifest! We have got some top notch reviewers on this website, Souljaboytellem! Dialog writers need to remove certain words from their joke book…
Sejian · 6/10<em>'Kung Fu Panda 4'</em> is much like its predecessors for me, I'm cool with them but they don't hit any deeper than being just solid movies. I had to watch a recap of the previous entries, naturally, and didn't remember much, aside from the cast and main characters. I reckon I…
r96sk · 7/10At first I was disappointed that the 5 weren't in this one but the humor was actually better in this movie than the previous one so that more than made up for it. The problem with watching all 4 one after the other is the story looked very similar in all 4 movies and even a copy…
daniel_carr · 8/10The movie is fun, a total feast for the eyes with its colors and well-choreographed beatdowns, but it leaves that cruel question hanging in the air: did the Dragon Warrior really need to come out of retirement for this mission? Let's figure out together where the chi of this new…
