An Alright film
Reviewed by freakformovies for Kung Fu Panda at 2009-07-28 18:15:08
Sure this movie is from Dreamworks Amimation and that it's one of the best animated films yet. But still, Jack Black in this film still doesn't make it a good film. To me, Jack Black is just one actor that I am not a fan In Nacho Libre he makes an OK performance but, in this kind of funny Dreamworks Animation film Kung Fu Panda he doesn't do so great. This Film is a an enjoyable animated film kids 6+ will love, laugh, and enjoy this this film and so will parents( maybe some parents) but mostly a lot of kids and adults will will enjoy this film while having some laughs this film for me is a B- to a C+. It is a funny enjoyable, animated film, but somehow Jack black doesn't really make a voice as Po the lazy, dreaming of being a kung fu master, noddle owner ( with his dad too ) Panda. Maybe Steve Carrell,or Jim Carey could make a good fit for Po the Panda

Ice Age is an amazing film that has an awesome cast to fit in with the the hilarious characters in this biggest animated hit that has now turned into an epic series.

Solid entertainment, but no classic

The film excels at action both inside Africa and in Manhattan. It however aspires for more than it ultimately can deliver. Note the references to Heart of Darkness throughout. Naomi Watts does superb work here, making you believe that she has feelings with the gorilla. BTW, the lack of chemistry between Watts and Brody hurts worse than serious Jack Black (not half bad).

The Best of DreamWorks
Reviewed by Sharkbait for Kung Fu Panda at 2009-03-30 07:48:52
Yes, I'd even take it over the first 'Shrek'. Fun, funny and frenetic, with beautiful and unique animation, 'Kung Fu Panda' still doesn't hold a candle to the very best of Pixar ('WALL·E' so trounces this movie), but of the slew of CGI movies we've seen this millennium, 'Kung Fu Panda' is one of the better ones.

Only One Problem....
Reviewed by Sharkbait for King Kong at 2009-03-07 12:52:27
I love every scene in 'King Kong', but I can admit the thing is too long. Ultimately, it feels like the Extended DVD versions of Jackson's 'Lord of the Rings' movies: It's all good stuff, but some of it really should have been cut out for the theatrical release. And yet, there's an extended version of THIS kicking around? I would actually love to see it, because I really enjoyed 'King Kong'; it's just that, unlike the theatrical release of 'Return of the King', it actually feels its length. Better watched in two installments, but I love it.

Seriously Hysterical
Reviewed by KHL for Tropic Thunder at 2008-08-25 12:48:23
You can't ask for much better than Stiller, Black and Downey Jr. in this offbeat and seriously funny comedy (note it finally kicked the Dark Knight out of the #1 spot). Tom Cruise's cameo as slimy movie exec Les Grossman is priceless. Downey Jr. manages to steal the show in a tour-de-force role (acutally, 3 roles perhaps?) as bad-boy Aussie ultra-Method actor (Russel Crowe, anyone?), who goes ultra-character in his African American role, then outwits some bad guys by playing a Japanese samurai type for a too-brief yet funny scene. Stiller and Black are great as usual, as are the rest of the supporting cast. Great opening "commercials" and "trailers" open the film, and tie directly in to the central characters. Funny parody of Hollywood with awesome actors and some great cameos. I can't wait to own this one so I can watch it again! (the gag reel should be good..)
