Kung Fu Panda 2( Movie Review)

This is totally my most favorite movie for now(July). I laughed so much when it was just in the beginning start of the story. In Kung Fu Panda 2, Po is now living his dream as The Dragon Warrior, protecting the Valley of Peace alongside his friends and fellow kung fu masters, The Furious Five(Angelina Jolie as Tigress, Jackie Chan as Monkey, Seth Rogan as Mantis, Lucy Liu as Viper, David Cross as Crane). But Po's new life of awesomeness is threatened by the emergence of a formidable villain, who plans to use a secret, unstoppable weapon to conquer China and destroy kung fu. Po must look to his past and uncover the secrets of his mysterious origins; only then will he be able to unlock the strength he needs to succeed. It was really a touching story but I can't even stop to get touched as it's too funny. In this movie, they were against Shen(voiced by Gary Oldman) who plans to take control over China. The main thing that trigger his strength is from a prophecy said by the court's goat soothsayer (Michelle Yeoh) that "a warrior of black and white" would one day defeat him, Shen assumed she was referring to the giant pandas and had them exterminated to avert the prophecy. Po thought that he was the only Panda left in China. Upon being brought before Shen in his tower, Po and the Five free themselves and destroy Shen's cannon. However, Po is again distracted by a flashback upon seeing the same symbol as before on Shen's plumage, allowing Shen to escape and destroy the tower with an arsenal of cannons. confronts Po over his distraction. Po explains that he remembers Shen's presence on the night he was separated from his parents, and wants to question Shen about his past. Though empathetic, Tigress orders him to stay behind for his own safety.

Regardless, Po breaks into Shen's cannon factory to confront Shen, inadvertently foiling the Five's attempts to destroy the factory. Shen claims that Po's parents abandoned him before he blasts Po out of the factory and captures the Five. Po is rescued by Shen's soothsayer ( Michelle Yeoh) , who has been exiled by Shen to the ruined village where Po was born. Guided by the Soothsayer to embrace his past, Po remembers that when he was young his parents had sacrificed themselves to save him from Shen's forces as they killed every panda and burned down the village, his mother hiding him in a crate before being subdued. Po finds out his past. At this time Po lifts up a broken door and under it is Po's childhood toy. Realizing that he had lived a happy and fulfilling life despite this tragedy, Po attains inner peace. Po is healed back to health by the soothsayer and continues his journey to stop Lord Shen. Lord Shen was defeated by Po at last. In the end, a clip also shows that a group of pandas living in another part of China peacefully. I never knew that it was Po's father, but I read that Po's father is actually still alive and is living peacefully. You have to watch it!
