Kung Fu Panda

Jack Black stars as a slacker panda, named Po, who is the biggest fan of Kung Fu around..He's working every day in his family's noodle shop but his ultimate dream is to become a Kung Fu superstar. Unexpectedly chosen by the godfather turtle to fulfill an ancient prophecy and become the dragonmaster, Po's dreams become reality when he joins the world of Kung Fu and studies alongside his idols, the legendary Furious Five -- Tigress, Crane, Mantis, Viper and Monkey -- under the leadership of their guru, Master Shifu. The treacherous snow leopard Tai Lung is headed their way and it's up to Po to defend everyone from the oncoming threat.  Po puts his weight into the task, and the unlikely hero ultimately finds that his greatest weakness (his love for food) turn out to be his greatest strength.
Some of the facial expressions of the Panda were at times funny and I laughed a few times but all in all after this one was over I didn't feel the plot was that enjoyable.  Especially after watching Tai Lung dominate hundreds of Rhinocerous' to break out of prison. 
A good film for Kids and I'm sure it will dominate the box office this weekend, but I thought Bee Movie and Horton Hears a Who were better.
4/10
