Movie Review:

Kung Fu Panda
“Prepare for Awesomeness”

by Christina C.

When I took my little brother and sister to see this movie, my 10 year old brother laughed so hard that he dropped out popcorn all over the floor and for the rest of the movie, I could hear the crunchy sound of popcorn under my brother’s feet whenever he moved. But despite loosing our popcorn we still enjoyed this movie.

This story is about a panda named Po, our unlikely hero, who has worked in his father’s noodle shop all his life, and has always dreamed of meeting, and fighting alongside the Kung Fu masters known as the “Furious Five”: Mantis, Crane, Viper, Monkey and Tigress, as well as their teacher, Master Shifu. Po unexpectedly gets his wish when he is, seemingly accidentally, chosen to be the next legendary ‘Dragon Warrior’, the only hope to save his home, the Valley of Peace, has against a deadly Kung Fu villain.

I really enjoyed this movie; it had great animation and a very nice, understandable storyline. The movie was full of very realistic characters and many hilarious jokes that made the movie really laughable. The movie also played along with the audience by introducing information and hints that are used throughout the movie until the very end. This would be a great movie to take your siblings (brothers or sisters), or even friends, out to see. It is an awesome movie that I would highly recommend watching. In fact, as soon as the three of us left the theatre, we wanted to see it again!
