Kung Fu Panda Kicks

Visually, the film was astounding. Storywise, it was almost like the Jackie Chan-Jet Li starrer The Forbidden Kingdom. However, I really found almost all the scenes hilarious and dull moments were almost negligible. One particular long scene I liked was the chopstick fight between Po, the Panda and his master. Tons of laugh-out-loud moments and spectacular fight sequences were in that fight scene. Your eyes should be glued to the screen or you would miss special moments.

I can't say much anymore except that I wish to hear a lot of the "Kung Fu Fighting" song. I have always liked the original version but the new version, sung by a Filipino boy (I was told)during the credits, is equally okay. Maybe it is because the melody of that song is really quite cool--east meets west type of harmony.

Go watch it if you like kung fu, pandas, and China!
