I have been watching the Kung Fu Panda Films ever since I was a teenager! I remember the first Kung Fu Panda Film like it was yesterday! The film is a classic & the 2011 & 2016 sequels were good to be fair, though it's been a while since I've seen them! Nonetheless, they've been pretty decent & not disappointing, this one however, while it was good overall, it didn't quite gel with me!
So, after the events of Kung Fu Panda 3, Po is now in a position to pass the torch to the next "Dragon Warrior" & is trying to decide who his successor should be! But, a wicked sorceress plans to re-summon all the master villains whom Po has vanquished to the spirit realm in the past & use their powers to rein terror!
I found the film to be pretty good! It's not amazing & feels somewhat isolated as the other main characters don't get half as much of a look in as they should! I get the story was different, but still, it could've & would've worked & been better had they been given the proper screen time!
The story & villain were not bad & pretty good! There's some humour to be had & the fights (despite being super short) were good as with the effects, voice acting & runtime of 1 hour & 25 minutes with not bad pacing! The animations were well done & the ending was pretty good too though questionable with today's climate!
Overall, it's a good film, but not amazing! For a 4th installment, it's pretty good, but it has made you wonder if it's time for them to either end the franchise here or carry on with Kung Fu Panda 5 & give the franchise the send off it needs!
6/10.
