I’m not a Jack Black fan. And I don’t particularly like silly animated movies (unless they’re Pixar, and then I’m a fanatic). So I went to Kung Fu Panda with very little excitement. It was a movie that filled the gap between Indiana Jones and the Hulk. Imagine my surprise to discover possibly one of the summer’s best movies. It was an incredibly colorful, imaginative and humorous ride. I loved every minute of it. It was funny without debasing itself to gross humor; it was stylistically amazing because of the actors that inhabited the characters – ala Jackie Chan, Lucy Liu and Angelina Jolie. Simply amazing, having kick-butt characters as the voices for the country’s greatest martial artists. And the moral of the story was heartfelt without being cheesy. I can’t really recommend this movie highly enough. Awesome. Take the family, take a date, take yourself – but go see Kung Fu Panda.
