Overview

Po is finally living the dream as the Dragon Warrior—until a shadow from his past comes roaring back. When the ruthless peacock Lord Shen unleashes a devastating new weapon used to wipe out kung fu masters across the land, Po and the Furious Five race across China to put an end to his plans. But if Po is to have any hope of stopping him, he must first confront the truth of his origins—and find inner peace before his past tears him apart.

Jack Black once again shows his excellence as a voice actor.

James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Rotten

[A] satisfying, if less than sensational, sequel to the funny, charming and action-packed animated feature from 2008.

Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post

A solid slice of summer entertainment: forgettable, perhaps, but plenty of fun while it lasts.

Tom Huddleston, Time Out

Hardly a scene goes by that isn't visually striking or kinetically thrilling, and all of it enhanced by 3-D.

Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal

Po and friends redeem themselves with a terrific third act, the animation (in three distinct styles) is superb and there's enough hiii-YA-ing to keep the kids yipping throughout.

Kyle Smith, New York Post
