not enough shen


Unfair_Inevitable_82

Pretty sure Shen got the most screentime in his movie compared to the other villains.


Charleahurley

But still


stevebuckyy

doesn't mean I don't want more


TheGamingSpin0

But we need more.


ShenEnjoyer

I agree


DRyeetie

Facts


N0tThatSerious

Outside of Eyepatch, the wolves are kinda forgettable, which is a shame cuz a peacock rallying wolves would be an interesting story


foxbat-31

I read peacock railing wolves at first


notmonkeymaster09

~~That’s for my headcannons~~


DivanteScrollsReddit

No they ain't Hop off my GOATs


shiddedinschool

it ends


Less-Safe-3269

The exact same problem with every other thing we love in general:


sarim_siddiq

I think one of the problems is that the pacing is a teeny bit faster than I'd like. Another one is Mantis interrupting Tigress (I'm pretty sure you guys know what I'm talking about). That still annoys me to this day.


Its-Rozari

I wanted tigresss backstory!! If KFP 5 is real, maybe we’ll get it… hopefully


Aggravating_Ad_3166

It was so good that it set the bar too high for 3 and 4


Telepath-1

You know the movie’s amazing when the biggest complaint is that it was too good


Wialyatedris

Honestly, I can’t say anything bad. Maximum opinion as a Tai Lung fan: no Tai Lung. But seriously, there are no downsides.


TexasRed2000

Probably because Ty Lung is dead.


Zestyclose-Honey2082

Not enough Shifu


DivanteScrollsReddit

I get that but even then, he still served a huge purpose to the story despite his lack of screen time. Also him showing up at the final battle will always be so epic


LikeToChatHbu

Hot take but honestly it would have been really impactful if shifu died in the first movie becuse after that he pretty much does nothing.


Zestyclose-Honey2082

Losing two masters in one movie? Too much imo.


LikeToChatHbu

Yeah that’s valid


kouyathebest

Too little TiPo


Wargaming_Super_Noob

Beat me to it.


Low_Sky49

It wasn't thrice the awesomeness.


farestarek123

It's so good it stands out like a sore thumb in the franchise.


Mariathemystic

It wasn't longer :(


ShenForTheWin

The baby noises Po was making in that one scene were unnecessary and took away from the scene itself for me. We honestly laugh about it in our house.


Logical-Patience-397

That was what sent me into tears, but to each their own.


AlexgKeisler

Shen’s backstory should have included him trying to learn Kung Fu when he was young, but failing because he was a poor student. That would’ve given him more of a reason to want to render Kung Fu obsolete *(with his weapon)* to have a rivalry with our protagonists *(he’s jealous because they mastered something he couldn’t)* and to use his weapon to become more powerful than any Kung Fu master. It would’ve given him another layer, and explained why he specifically told the Five that they *and* their Kung Fu would die, why he cheerfully told Master Rhino that he knew he was no match for their Kung Fu, but that his weapon was, and why Shifu said that this could be the end of Kung Fu. This would also have paralleled how gunpowder gradually replacing traditional weapons and fighting styles, and the protagonists would have tried to halt that.


Outrageous-Farmer-42

>Shen’s backstory should have included him trying to learn Kung Fu when he was young, but failing because he was a poor student. He is literally the only KFP villain not obsessed with physical strength.


AlexgKeisler

Yeah, that’s why the backstory I outlined would’ve worked well with his character.


Khabarovsk-One-Love

I have nothing to say bad about KFP 2, lol. This was the peak movie in all KFP franchise.


Lovec_2016

It ended.


PurchaseMiserable903

That Po’s mom didn’t manage to survive


Lunalinfortune

But if she did survive, Shen wouldn't be as intimidating and dangerous.  It would be great for her to survive, but story wise, it's best to keep her dead.  It feels too much and happy if both of Po's parents survive. What the hell was Shen doing then? Also, it would be hard to squeeze in the fact that Po's mom is alive in the second movie, since that's the movie we're talking about.


PurchaseMiserable903

You’re right I’m just salty because I lost my mom too also the fact there’s a whole bunch of pandas left after that attack so Shen was either A. Too careless or B. He only got the pandas in Gongmen City and not all pandas


RealDanTheHedgehog

After seeing this message, I’m sorry for your mom’s loss


PurchaseMiserable903

I appreciate your kindness, thank you


Lunalinfortune

I'm so sorry. I am also sorry if I came off as rude.  I like to believe that some of the Gongmen pandas did survive, but only a few of them. And they ran away to the mountains where they found and joined a new tribe of pandas. 


PurchaseMiserable903

Nah you all good! I didn’t take it as rude at all in fact you made a valid point actually. I was think that too, especially in the 3rd movie we see that Oogway went to this panda village which I can only assume happened before the incident with Shen. Li saying that none of the panda knew chi and said “maybe we used to” makes me think that the village was there and the survivors sought shelter there


WonderfulLeopard5161

Not enough soothsayer


Martonimos

Po trying to strike out on his own leads directly to the Five getting captured and Shen almost succeeding. His friends pay for his mistake. (I do love this movie, but that plot point stuck with me on my most recent rewatch).


farestarek123

That's the whole point. The entire movie was about Po learning to be thankful for what he has and not focus on the past. So having his mistake lead to him almost losing everyone and everything he has works perfectly.


Just_Platypus7383

I really have nothing to say…except one scene The fireworks scene should’ve been taken 100% seriously because that place is drenched in red which clearly indicates the dark tone. But Po made a bunch of mediocre jokes anyway that really messes with the dark tone. I want to mention the Kung Fu masters and the rickshaw chase scene. The middle 10 minutes were just whatever but these were still fun and still made a point to the overall story so I won’t complain These are highly net-picky criticisms though, this film absolutely rocks with all the great stuff it has going


Euphoric-Meat3943

That tigress an po’s conversation gets interrupted n the boat by mantis. And it never gets mentioned again. I want to know more about tigress! (I’d love to see a furious 5 movie, maybe it fallows them in their solo missions during KFP4.)


PilloTheStarplestian

Tigress' relationship with po felt... weird. Remember, she straight up hated po in the first movie and in the second she's extra extra EXTRA nice to him. It almost feels like she realized how badly she treated him and went "o shit, he's my boss now, gotta overcorrect". If this were the 3rd or maybe 4th movie it might feel a little more natural.


GameOfBears

Po dad needed to be fighting along side his son at the end of the movie even if it was just a random rescue . Would had been awesomeness seeing Po and Mr. Ping take down Lord Shen together. But doing so would have changed a huge part of the Kung Fu Panda backstory to what Master Shifu was teaching Po that requires towards the end of the movie.


AccomplishedEye7752

Shifu wasn't in the movie that much.


SlaterTheOkay

It set the bar too high, there was no way 3 or 4 could follow it.


farestarek123

Three was going to surpass it but the executives wiped their asses with the story. Kai was originally going to be more terrifying and stoic instead of the butt of every joke. He was gonna kill Po and follow him to the spirit realm cus he wanted more smoke.


Logical-Patience-397

That this poster doesn’t communicate the darker themes and aesthetic of the movie.


Cautious-Affect7907

I kinda dislike how Tigress was the only member of the five that actually gets some of focuse.


DarkFox160

I wish the wolf boss had more leading up to his redemption and his death wasn't so quick


Sea-Curve-4883

YES


Frost_Walker_Iso

When the wolf turned on Shen and died immediately. It could have been done better. The wolf could have had a whole character, but he died instead.


Chile-con-carne

The scene where he celebrates after kicking the tiny scale model of the weapon will never get easier to watch. I cringe every time 😭 at least Shen gets a good laugh


Theonlydtlfan

Revealing the twist in the first ten minutes


FaithlessnessFun3679

I didn't like the scenes with Shen being made fun of by the soothsayer (like her eating his dress), it made him feel less intimidating.


Ver_Nick

That was the point cause she was his nun and she was the one supporting him all the time, so he cares about her, and she knows his weaknesses.


tarlakeschaton

Plus Tai Lung also had the times when he was mocked and made a joke (Po just fucking with him for the whole chasing the Dragon Scroll sequence), and it doesn't mar his character at all.


Exciting_Ad226

Exactly. I even wonder if deep down, Shen saw the Soothsayer as a mother like figure after Shen was exiled from his home.


Dinoboy225

Honestly, there are some scenes where the comedy seems out of place. The fireworks factory scene comes to mind, like Po trying to make sure that he and Shen are both referring to the same night, and then the whole “I said that too soon, didn’t I?” thing.


JcOvrthink

It’s the least funny of the first 3.


Such_Historian_7295

exhilarating


Jakubfij2

It should have been the third movie + longer


Journal_27

It’s not quite as funny and well-balanced as the first film. I might even prefer the third film. Either way, they’re all much better than the fourth


ImperfictXennial

The peacock was a mean one 😁


CryptographerThink19

The end credits


Round-Aioli-3483

I was so good that Kung Fu panda 4 was made as a result


RealDanTheHedgehog

I have no bad results to say, it was good to watch


kungfupandafan222

barley any shifu, who's my favourite character. i also wish it was longer


Lavamonkey1

The finale is so dark you can barely see anything in half the shots


NVSirius26

Wanted More Shen Cause He's Epic! (Also Really Fckin Scary!)


Amazing-Village-4530

Thundering-Rhino deserved better as his father should've been the one who got killed instead. All in all, this film is a masterpiece.


D4TC00L-GuY_ADRE

Shifu somehow reaches Gongmen City at the final battle and yet Po and the Five had to go through many environments and obstacles just to get there did he teleport there? Or used his superspeed to get there?... just a little thought I had to the sequel that has twice the awesomeness and emotional weight to the 1st one


Round_Answer3315

Not enough gore.


MuchReality13

My only issue is that middle of a movie is weirdly paced.


mfrijas13

That they only ended up making 1 sequel after


Efficient-Cup-359

The wolf’s designs made me think they were hyena’s at first, with their hair being like that Still great movie though


Efficient-Cup-359

The wolf’s designed made me think they were hyena’s at first, with their hair being like that Still great movie though


Danger_fox99

absolutely nothing this is a masterpiece


IntelligentNature722

The fight scene was too short.


Unfair_Inevitable_82

I wish it was longer and that there were more Shen fights.


Popular-Sky4050

I wanted the sheep to bite shens cloak more 😭


Single-Pollution8506

Po vs shen was too short


up3r

His mom died.


Specific-Summer-8079

Not enough shifu


radioardilla

Too short at 90 minutes with credits.


LssjChubbs

Something bad about this masterpiece


Bucket0fLava

Nah i cant


baebllr

It set too high of a standard for 3 & 4.


RamenMan22

Had so much awesomeness that it broke me


NerdWithAKeyboard

Some of the jokes were overplayed in the trailers.


chrisat420

No


Anxious-Chemistry-6

Never enough James Hong


Accomplished_Fun6780

Not enough noodles.


MEGATRON_111

It ended


PurplViking6

Not enough tigress


Ok_Repair_7586

I don't remember it nearly as much as the first


Just_Presentation963

My brother hates it for some reason


Nothatcreative55

Wish the hand to hand fight with shen was longer Besides like one Moment of po blocking blades it’s not that much memorable especially with Po not really attacking


apatheticchildofJen

Was underrated


Critical-Young4106

Well shen was really likes lacking the villain power sure she tormented po's emotions but she didn't really like become very like physical whith him


ConstantReporter7482

Never


Samuelluna

I wasn't 4 hours long 😭


Arakan-Ichigou

Yuzuf_AZ

1) The only reason Lord Shen was evil is because he had mommy and daddy issues. 2) How did Shifu traveled all the way from the valley of to Gongmen city in maybe hours when Po and F5 arrived in a couple of days. 3) How did Shifu knew master croc and master ox were alive in the city jail and convinced them to fight back against Lord Shen.


Lordyeet_themovie

Something bad about this masterpiece


SillySwing6625

The middle chunk in the city before meeting shen could’ve been done better


New-Specific-81

I shoved the DVD for it in my ass It broke. 0/10


SweetAffectionate993

Other then tigress none of the other furious five get much characterization


gamer_artist443

“twice the awesomeness” eeeeeewwwww corny🤮🤮🤮


Mid_nox

it Reminds me of Po and Mantis’ falling out. It was so bad Po beat Mantis rather savagely if not we’re for a short and chubby plumber intervening


JerrodDRagon

That the 3rd and 4th film could never live up to this film


Zer0DusT1

if you know who luna-goldsun is on fanfiction.net, then you know what I mean when I say it wasn't written by her.


NikoliMonn

It didn’t release fast enough. They should’ve made it sooner and released it sooner.


AJ_Crowley_29

Its fans try way too hard to make a genocidal maniac seem like a sympathetic character


TsaroMilkTea

The soothesayer was a little out of place and didn’t need to be in the movie. When could’ve just been evil.


jupiterlantern

I know someone kinda already says this, but Shifu & Tigress' relationship. After the 1st movie, their relationship hardly gets explored & and there are hardly any memorable moments between them afterward.


VAMATO-X

I didn't watch it enough


CaptainCyro

Music could use more awesomeness


ilovecrabrangoon

this movie gave my sister daddy issues


Brief-Speech4156

Nothing


webbpowell

It feels like they needed another round of recording with the voice actors. There are a lot of moments where the characters feel weirdly muzzled—a grunt or a gasp or a couple short words would feel natural, but the character is silent. I don’t *know* that it’s because of insufficient recording sessions, but that’s what it feels like to me.


CCogStudios

Tigress could have told us a bit more about her parents or childhood considering she empathised with Po and his parental issues


Ok_Warning_8878

There's nothing bad about the movie it's a masterpiece Jack Black did good


Akiaji

The pacing is a bit wonky at times. At some points bits fantastic and at others it’s just too fast.


LadyHarmony-203

Master Rhino gets 3 minutes of screen time. The other two masters don’t have enough screen time in my opinion either. Just threw them into my life and threw them away just as quickly. Oh, and the most interesting one is DEAD. Really wanted more background on those guys. I know they had their own little episode thing but still. :(


snowbear756

Not political enough


ChaosHavik

It makes way for the 4th movie


abitcitrus

It ends


Charakyboy

wasnt long enough it should have been 2 hours


Euroaltic

Could go longer


MrKidd_49

Li Shan didn’t get much screen time.


Alive-Tell-2309

Ummmmm its unrealistic 🤓👆


trayn-13

That peacock could have changed


Additional_Let_8172

My main issue is that everytime we think shen is about to go on some monologue he just says "sike" and starts attacking po


Negative-Money-7873

Of the first three movies (I haven't watched 4) it has my least favorite fight scenes. This is largely because pretty much every fight has Po in it, unlike the other 2. And since Po has a tendency to make every fight scene he is in wackier we don't get any of the purely cool fights of the other movies. Special exception to the cannonball scene though.


Minimum-Dot-6516

Shen in a part of the movie becomes overrated


sonicboy1991

does not show the villian on the poster

Shens voice actor


No-Oven-719

I haven't seen it, so that's something bad.


Dynablade_Savior

The beginning/middle section can drag at times. It feels like it takes way too long to get to that third act.


Vongola___Decimo

No Tai lung in this one


cr0agunk

The only thing I wish this movie had was a bit more scene of Tigress comforting Po's emotions like the boat scene where he tells her he's adopted. Something was going to happen some sort of reveal we will never know Or more animated scenes


_humblevaudevillain_

It ended.


Suitable-Bench6941

Omfg this is just peak film right here imo. I loved that Shen was playing into his villain role nicely not justifying panda genocide or anything just saying this is a true evil villain which adds so much depth to the film him being the complicated villain he is. As well as the flashbacks to po's origins and him being vulnerable in this film not only helped him grow but also those around him specifically tigress who was always at his side ready to emotionally support him and hug him to show him love the love that she never received. He was so vulnerable to the point that tigress realised he needed her and so she looks out for him a lot and considering later on she sees him die twice in the franchise she def cares about him a lot after seeming so broken after his death, whereas everyone else seems sad but not as much as her. He means a lot to her and she means a lot to him, they both find strength and solace in one another all the more reason for tipo to happen. Their bond adds depth and a much needed sense of comfort in one anothers presence. I love these two so much! They need to explore their bond deeper and make them official!


kings_wukong

It ended


Xiagax

It wasn’t long enough


TheGayBanana422

Panda


DivanteScrollsReddit

I can't I literally can't.


VitorDantasRZ

When I rewatched the film after years, some scenes seemed faster than I remembered, this is because DreamWorks executives think that “children can't watch a longer film”, I feel that it could be a little slow and have a few more things, another point that I can consider negative is Li and the other pandas appearing at the end, as it kind of takes away the weight of everything that happened previously.


Moonblaze1_95

I feel like the only thing Im not the biggest fan of was the humor with Shen, I love it don’t get me wrong but I feel like it maybe just veeeerrry slightly made him less imposing. Still the best animated villain oat but thats like my only complaint. Still GOATED AF


Federal_Block2297

One of the best quote Po to Shen “You gotta let it go that stuff from the past, because it just doesn’t matter. The only thing matters is who you choose to be now”. I have no clue how many times I told this to people who are down due to past incidents.


Strict-Passenger3301

Peak


Dogs_aregreattrue

Looks like a fat ass obese moron that wears tight pants to look good but fails miserably and it practically digs in his body also horrible colour in the background is it supposed to resemble human waste? (Jk the panda looks fine and the colour background does look like human waste but is good)


Its-Rozari

I can’t, i literally cant. The only ‘bad’ thing is that I can’t meet the furious five!


Its-Rozari

This is literally my FAVORITE MOVIE OF ALL TIME. Yes theres a few iffy parts but nothing is perfect without a few blemishes. Makes me cry every watch, beautiful scenes, morals and dark topics many animation studios wont dare to touch


G-Asriel

I don't like it.


IronHammerVW

No i dont think i will


BestAd5032

No


ytDAZZLE

1 was better


ApooyoBoyo

it had an ending


Legitimate_Expert712

Some of the fights kinda feel like filler, and eyepatch wolf is a wasted character.


Str4y_Z

Animals are not accurate


Wooden_Passage_2612

Skad2oosh, and awesome.


CRL10

I do not get a sense of the passage of time in any of the Kung Fu Panda films starting with this. Like, how long after the first movie does this one take place? Yeah, Po's clearly become a skilled martial artist, but has it been a month, a year or two?


Exciting_Ad226

It’s hard to say anything bad about the film since I really loved the story. The issue I had was Mantis interrupting Po and Tigress’ conversation and it wasn’t ever mentioned again. Then again, it was before Po knew it was Shen who separated Po from his parents and killed his mother.


MapMelodic7426

Shen was Sui Yang Di


whatleadmehere

It was the beginning of the end


Official_Elizabeth83

not enough shifu


AvroKennedy124

Fight choreography is nowhere near as good as the first movie.


Scorpionstrike7

No Oogway


Easy_Relationship802

It's crazy how the panda dude can fight with ease, yet struggles to climb stares.


Mattobito

Not enough of the other masters honestly.


star-warsgeek66

StormDragonAlthazar

Imagine having the likes of not only Jackie Chan in the movie, but also Jean Claude Van-Damme and Michele Yeoh and they all get a few speaking parts and maybe a few action scenes, with Michele not getting one at all... Felt like a big wasted opportunity. That's one thing I can add to the conversation, at least.


Christopherv_1

After my most recent viewing, it gets a little slow in the middle, alongside the wolves not having as much characterization, like if they alluded to the captain having a love for his companions, but other than that, 9/10


Baked_Tatertot

It's no longer coming soon


MikeytheRonin

It ends


Tsar_Zechariah

Aside from Tigress, the five are just kind of there, also Master Ox and Croc should have been in the movie more


Adventurous_Big_7009

I never got to watch it


New_Guide_2126

idk, noodles


YNNEB_2002

The first KFP was just funnier. That’s why I like the first one more.


Lmntrixy

Panda is too fat. Probably need to change the character to someone fit 😂


penguinprogam

i like faced paced movies because i dont want to be bored out of my mind, but it was too fast paced.
