Kung Fu Panda 4

-

Po the panda returned to theaters this weekend in the newest Kung Fu Panda installment, Kung Fu Panda 4. When Po is selected to become the spiritual leader of the Valley of Peace, he must train a new warrior. However, things take a turn when a powerful shape-shifting sorceress targets his Staff of Wisdom, forcing Po to realize he can't do it alone. Joining forces with a clever corsac fox, Po soon learns that heroes can emerge from the most unlikely of places.

What follows is The Good, The Bad, and NO Spoilers of Kung Fu Panda 4.

The Good

Kung Fu Panda 4 continues to deliver the same family-friendly charm that made the first three films so popular. Kids will love this movie just as much as they loved the first 3 films. Awkwafina’s portrayal of Zhen is a standout, offering a strong performance that complements Jack Black’s Po effortlessly. 

The Bad

Unfortunately,  Kung Fu Panda 4 comes across as a commercial effort by DreamWorks to capitalize on the popularity of the beloved panda character. The storyline feels lackluster and predictable, with Po’s "dads" embarking on their own adventure serving as a filler that adds little to the already struggling plot. Zhen's betrayal and subsequent redemption arc is overly predictable and lacks the emotional depth needed to make it feel genuine.

My Overall Opinion

I give Kung Fu Panda 4 a 4 out of 10.

The Batman (Like, Another One)

  When I first heard there was going to be another Batman, with a different actor, my first thought was simply “why?”. When I found out that this actor was Robert Patterson, I was genuinely intrigued. I know Patterson gets a lot of negative comments because of the Twilight movies, but I have never held those against him. The Batman follows this iconic superhero in a new dark tale as he tracks down a serial killer. Batman slowly follows the clues into the criminal underworld of Gotham and the possible corruption of Gotham’s most influential figures.   What follows is The Good, The Bad, and  The Spoilers  of The Batman. The Good This movie has a nice “dark” feel to it, reminiscent of The Dark Knight. A villain that brutally kills his victims. A hero not afraid to beat the bad guys to a bloody pulp. Criminals focused on sex, drugs, and all things bad. These are things that the majority of super hero movies seems to shy away from, or skirt around. Although the major...
