PRO REVIEWS
----------------------------------------
"The animation is elegant, the story is much more involving than in the original, and there's boundless energy. (...) Rating: ***1/2 (out of four)" (Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times) ----------------------------------------
"Accomplishes the depressingly familiar mathematical trick of being both more and less than its predecessor. (...) Uses 3-D with flair and restraint (...) its audience is likely to settle for it in the absence of a compelling alternative". (A. O. Scott: The New York Times) ----------------------------------------
"At times, Kung Fu Panda 2 suggests Bambi redone as an episode of Oprah. Yet it's a more-than-worthy sequel" (Owen Gleiberman: Entertainment Weekly) ----------------------------------------
"While not as fresh as the first, the sequel certainly makes good on its promise" (Andrew Barker: Variety) ----------------------------------------
"Alas, this time there are about three or four mild laughs in the whole picture, and the entire visual aspect of the movie is a botched disappointment" (Mick LaSalle: San Francisco Chronicle) ----------------------------------------
