Why watch this film?
Our suggestions
Jack Black returns as Po, the world's most unlikely kung fu master, in this butt-kicking new chapter from DreamWorks Animation's beloved action-comedy franchise: Kung Fu Panda 4. After learning he must find a new hero to take over as Dragon Warrior so that he may fulfill his destiny as the next spiritual leader of the Valley of Peace, Po decides to take one last adventurous mission. He teams up with a quick-witted thief named Zhen, a corsac fox to discover the truth about recent sightings of villains he's defeated in the past. In a journey that puts both to the test, it will take a wicked, powerful sorceress, Chameleon, to bring them together and perhaps remind Po that heroes can be found in the most unexpected places.
"Kung Fu Panda 4 is clearly a fresh start for DreamWorks' beloved franchise. After all, more than just a continuation of the third chapter, the film aims to showcase Po on the verge of becoming a mentor — almost like retirement for the character — while also attempting to find a new successor. It's a movie that loses quite a bit of vitality compared to other stories, mainly due to the absence of the Furious Five, but it hints at a future that many might consider overlooked. Ultimately, it entertains the whole family."
