Then and only then he will be able to defend his dumpling eating championship against his evil father.

You will like it if...

You liked the previous Kung Fu Panda movies. Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie, Jackie Chan, Lucy Liu, Seth Rogan, etc. is a star studded cast. If virtually every voice in this film sounds familiar it is because you have seen all of them in other films. The story is basically the same as every other Kung Fu Panda film. The fight scenes are just as interesting as the previous films with the addition of new animal characters. Light comedy is sprinkled into the script as with the previous iterations. There is just enough new stuff to feel like a new film even though the basic story is recycled. In all if you are a fan of the series there is no reason for you not to like this new one. It is more of the same without feeling like it is a tired old rehash of the same Kung Fu Panda.
