Well there really isn't much to say about this offering from Dreamworks studio.It is no Pixar movie.
Basically an over weight endangered species follows his dream to be a kung fu master. However he is just not very good, until his trainer tempts him with food.
Talk about enabling overeating.
The film is stunning to look at, and the voice work is ok (bonus points to Pixar for always hiring character actors...they seem to always work the best), but one can not help but feel that the script process was rushed and story boarding was not thought out.
Sure the action pieces were impressive, but you felt no real danger.
And back to the voice acting. Why have an all star cast when no one stands out? I mean you have a film where Lucy Liu, Angelina Jolie, Jackie Chan, Dustin Hoffman and Seth Rogen do not even make an impact (James Hong makes the best effort as Mr. Ping). What is the point?
Maybe next time eh?
