In the legends of China there was a hero, who could master Yin and Yang to become the Dragon Warrior! His name was Poe, who would become an epic and hilarious panda. This time along with his Kung-Fu team they seek to resolve and stop the evil Lord Shen a (defected member of the Royal Peacock family; who was also the heir to the throne.) From tyrannically controlling China and the Kung Fu Capital, the magnificent Gongmen City. Packed with epic battle scenes, Massive cannons, deadly blades and skillful Kung-Fu moves. Not leaving out the amazing Chi abilities of Kung-Fu masters each with their own unique fighting style and use of weapons. I extremely liked the scene where Poe and Lord Shen fight over some sort of foundry or factory because when he wakes up in pain as he has hundreds of traditional Chinese acupuncture needles stuck in him by Soothsayer. It was also quite funny when Poe does some crazy stunts in order to save 'the world'. The super cannon/s were really cool in the movie especially the Intricately detailed Dragon Cannon which fires massive flaming metal balls decorated with carvings of the sun and fire.
The movie is very fun at times however there is a lot of fighting-with weapons as well, which would be not very suitable for younger children and may scare them. There are also breathtaking events that make the heroes seemed to be doomed, however they are probably just clinging onto the edge of something instead. This is a great movie and I would recommend this film as a 5 Star family film because nothing beats watching a hilarious and cool film with the whole family.

Hugely likeable animation about a tubby giant panda with dreams of kung fu glory, who is chosen to defend a valley from an evil snow leopard.

It's never hard to guess what will happen next in The Karate Kid - but it's still a martial arts film packed with energy and humour.
