Kung-Fu Panda 2 - better than the first one.

Hey People,

I've been quite busy the last few weeks... but now, I'm back !
First of all, i'd like to remind everybody that I'm not a film review specialist and I have no pretentions while writing things. I just want to share what I think about the films I watch. Contructive feedback is welcome because I'd love to improve my film analysis skills.

About Kung-Fu Panda 2, it's very much action-comedy style which reminds you of usual martial art films but the Dreamworks way. The story is modest but works fine.The hero Po is facing an identity crisis who prevents him from defeating the bad guy. So you guessed it, the film is very Po-centered and the humor fits better Jack Black's usual acting. Consequently, the character is a lot more credible. The film keeps a good rythm and does not suffer from KFP1 long boring scenes.

The graphical style of the film is obviously very Chinese-influenced and makes good use of warm colours. I loved seeing that some flashback sequences were traditionnal animation. I'm still impressed by some of the special effects animation which emphasize really well some of the fight or quick action scenes.

They probably could have gone further in the development of the story, in a way that would have included bigger roles for the numerous secondary characters. The film ends on a clumsy cliffhanger which seems to announce a KFP3 but without giving a good reason to wait for it.

I laughed and enjoyed amazing animation. I really think this film deserves to be seen.

The Hangover Part II

Hello dear cinema fellows,

I have been invited by a friend to go and see The Hangover - Part II. Such as the first one, this film targets people who are very open-minded and who likes dirty jokes about sex, alcohol and drugs. The main storylines are similar to the two films. Part II is nastier and the humor is mainly based on surprise... Unlike the first one, I think it will be a lot less funny to watch a second time !

The sexual aspect of the film is very important in this sequel. I can't recommend it to young people. It is for adults. They might have gone too far sometimes so... Expect the worse in that kind of comedy, especially in a sequel. I will only say I enjoyed it
