Not as good as the previous movies but still solid

There are two main things that happen in this film. One is the return of Po's father. The other is the bull-like creature, Kai, swinging his luminous daggers around and stealing people's chi. In terms of storyline it's simple, but all over the place at the same time. Kai is on his way to steal the chi of Po and the others to become even more powerful than he already is. After Po is reunited with his father, it is made clear to him that that only a chi master can defeat Kai; so Po must journey to the secret panda village in order to master chi before Kai comes to get him. It turns out Pandas were historically chi masters Eventually Kai finds where Po is and there's a battle.

The reunion and father-son bonding scenes in the temple were actually quite nice (as was the jealousy of Po's stepfather, Mr Ping) and I wish there were more scenes like that because for the most part I found myself bored. One of the key draws for these films is that they're funny.

In terms of the new characters I kinda liked Kai, and actually possibly even wanted him to win, which is really bad. Some of the pandas in the secret village were good. When Po is talking to them he says things like 'you look like me, but a baby; you look like me but old; you look like me, but fatter' and so on, was funny. There was a glaring error at one point. When the village is under attack from Kai, Tigress runs to the secret panda village to get Po. But how did she find the panda village so easily? It was meant to be secret! Overall, It wasn't an awful movie, but it was not on par with the first two instalment.

A worthy inclusion to the series.

While not really outdoing the first two films, Kung Fu Panda 3 has all the trappings of a fine third entry in an acclaimed film franchise. Some of the humor feels sillier compared to the prequels, but eventually gets better as the conflict is developed. The film is fast-paced and gripping as it delivers a successful blend of action and comedy, served with heartfelt father-son moments that continue to warm my heart. It also doesn't eschew the philosophy or the magical score that aided the first two films in a great way.

The voice acting is still good, and there's nothing to complain about. The story is written in a way that while it may initially seem silly, it only ends up getting better and stronger as it goes on to unfold. The makers continue to serve us with first-rate action sequences. Since I watched the film in 3D, I enjoyed it even more than I guess I could've enjoyed in 2D. In the second half of the story, you'll get a lot of emotionally resonant as well as exciting moments that will eventually make you forgive blemishes if any.

All in all, this is a pretty good film and a worthy inclusion to the series. If you loved the first two films, especially the second one, you might be expecting another strong plot, which it does have, except it doesn't feel as intense. Nevertheless, this is a family-friendly action comedy that works very easily for kids and families. And the philosophical messages it offers are not easy to forget. I was completely satisfied by the time it ended.

Not as good as the previous two films, still very colourful and entertaining

The first 'Kung Fu Panda' film is a solid film, colourful and fun with thrilling action and engaging characters. The second film is even better, darker and more emotional while never forgetting to be entertaining, with the best villain in the series.

'Kung Fu Panda 3' is not as good as the previous two films but there is plenty to make it well worth watching. It does contain three big flaws. As funny as the film is and how often hilarious the gags and dialogue are, 'Kung Fu Panda 3' does go overboard with the silliness and it does feel like it takes over everything else. Even in moments that are meant to be tense, like the confrontation between Po and Kai, they don't quite have the impact due to the humour getting in the way and it does jar.

The film's villain Kai is the least interesting and least developed of the 'Kung Fu Panda' franchise, a huge disappointment after the previous film did such a wonderful job with Shen, one of those villains where you can understand why he's a threat but also to some extent understand his point of view. Kai certainly had potential. His first appearance was cool, suspenseful and wonderfully animated, the music in this scene fitted perfectly with the scene and a contender for the highlight of the soundtrack and JK Simmons clearly has a ball, booms ominously and demonstrates that he was born to play villains. However Kai compared to the previous two villains is rather one-dimensional, the Oogway conflict is forced and not enough is done with it and his motivations are not interesting or clear enough (not to mention clichéd).

Lastly, the secondary characters and Po's friends are rather sidelined at the expense of the relationship between Po and his father, which admittedly is very nicely done, with their personalities somewhat bland. Tigress is the least wasted, showing some personality, but Shifu and Viper are especially wronged and criminally underused.

However, the animation is really superb and some of the best and most inventive of the franchise. It is so vibrantly coloured, the backgrounds are fluid and very meticulously detailed, the editing has much finesse and the characters are well designed and modelled. The jombies, the nickname of the jade zombies, are splendidly realised in animation and personality. The soundtrack is incredibly dynamic, but also provides some tension and emotional depth, Kai's first entrance music is my personal favourite.

Dialogue is zany and hilarious, loved the rapport between Po and his father, and the gags are cleverly animated and mostly are incredibly funny, apart from a few going on for too long and a bit too silly. The action is thrilling and filled with so much energy and the repartee is sharp. The story is admittedly predictable, but is efficiently paced, a lot of fun and provides plenty of thrills and emotional depth (the latter especially applies to the relationship between Po and his father). The life-lessons are well incorporated and never feel shoe-forced, I just wish that the humour despite being very entertaining was toned down. Loved the homage to 'Seven Samurai' too.

While the characters and their developments are among the weakest assets of the film, they do engage enough. Po is still likable and Li Shan is a welcome addition. Mei Mei avoids being too annoying while not necessarily adding to the plot. The voice acting is terrific, Po has always been one of Jack Black's most tolerable and likable roles and he still delivers, Bryan Cranston shies away from his usual persona and entertains hugely and as aforementioned JK Simmons really impresses as Kai. The others, with Angelina Jolie being the standout, are solid though their material could have been much better.

Overall, while the weakest of the 'Kung Fu Panda' films, 'Kung Fu Panda 3' is good solid fun, the 'Kung Fu Panda' films being one of those rare film franchises where all the films so far are good. 7/10 Bethany Cox
