Title: Kung Fu Panda Post by: Aez on June 10, 2008, 05:27:32 PM Great movie. See it.
Title: Re: Kung Fu Panda Post by: Samwise on June 10, 2008, 05:28:28 PM I keep hearing that and I keep having trouble believing it.
It's Beverly Hills Ninja with a CGI panda instead of Chris Farley. Isn't it? Title: Re: Kung Fu Panda Post by: Aez on June 10, 2008, 05:34:00 PM Nope. I was like you, I blame Blizzard.
It's in the execution. It doesn't take itself too seriously. It has allot of charm. The story is decent, it moves fast. I was giggling the whole time with a few laugh out loud moments. My GF liked it allot and she couldn't support 5 min of Beverly Hills ninja. Title: Re: Kung Fu Panda Post by: Trippy on June 10, 2008, 06:33:22 PM I saw it last night and I agree it was great. I can't remember the last move I laughed so hard in.
Title: Re: Kung Fu Panda Post by: Oban on June 10, 2008, 06:39:30 PM Was supposed to see it on Monday but blew it off.
Has anyone seen it in IMAX as of yet? Title: Re: Kung Fu Panda Post by: HAMMER FRENZY on June 10, 2008, 07:08:05 PM I've heard a lot of good shit about this flick. I am gonna watch it this weekend. I actually enjoy Jack Black for some crazy reason.

Title: Re: Kung Fu Panda Post by: Morat20 on June 10, 2008, 08:49:58 PM Great movie. See it. How's the kung fu? :) I noticed the crane, tiger, mantis, snake and what-not in the trailers -- I hope they actually used their respective styles, done by someone who actually knows them.My kid got really excited during The Forbidden Kingdom when they were doing Kung-fu because he finally realized that "Tiger" and "Crane" and all that meant the styles were sort of like the animals, so he's dying to see this one. Title: Re: Kung Fu Panda Post by: Phildo on June 10, 2008, 09:00:47 PM I spent my last month of school recutting all the audio on the trailer for this movie. I'll be going to see it shortly.
Title: Re: Kung Fu Panda Post by: naum on June 10, 2008, 09:09:46 PM We cut out of work and took a long lunch / team meeting and spent it at the theater watching this flick.
Art & animation superb, but wasn't as enthralled with it as some of you were. Definitely worth the free pass I got though. Probably would have not felt ripped off even if I had to fork over matinee ticket cost… Title: Re: Kung Fu Panda Post by: Lakov_Sanite on June 10, 2008, 09:30:47 PM Great movie. See it.

Did Jackie Chan's character even speak? They (the 5) weren't prominently featured and pretty much were a side show compared to Black, Hoffman characters... Title: Re: Kung Fu Panda Post by: Trippy on June 10, 2008, 09:56:26 PM Yes he did. His lines, however, were all pretty short. His voice is very distinctive, though, I'm surprised you didn't notice.

Forbidden Kingdom disappointed abit though, Kung Fu Panda did not! Must see :pedobear: Title: Re: Kung Fu Panda Post by: Trippy on June 11, 2008, 02:15:28 AM :headscratch:

Title: Re: Kung Fu Panda Post by: Evildrider on June 11, 2008, 02:54:25 AM Saw this movie.. it was pretty good.
I also saw Zohan, and if you are an Adam Sandler fan you'll probably like it. I thought it was pretty good. Title: Re: Kung Fu Panda Post by: Brogarn on June 11, 2008, 10:31:51 AM Panda was great fun. Laughed my ass off a couple of times.
Title: Re: Kung Fu Panda Post by: Samwise on June 11, 2008, 05:06:04 PM All right, I'm going to see it tonight.
If you've all been lying and it's as bad as it looks from the trailers, somebody gonna get hurt real bad. Title: Re: Kung Fu Panda Post by: Morat20 on June 11, 2008, 08:21:16 PM He will be underwhelmed. They make a big deal of the fact in various interviews that the moves in movie are supposedly "authentic". However since they are being performed by animals it's really hard to tell that's the case -- i.e. Crane style done by a actual crane doesn't have the same look as a human doing it. Also the Fabulous Five don't do a lot of fighting in the movie (one big fight scene and some minor ones sprinkled in). I actually think that'll be something he likes. How often do you see animals fight? (Well, he loves the Discovery channel -- so more so than many kids). Seeing the animal styles, even as animals, gives him something to compare to.We saw Forbidden Kingdom awhile back. I wasn't aware Jet Li's facial muscles actually allowed a smile. Nice to see Jackie Chan doing drunken boxing, even briefly, again. :) I got to see a Drunken Fist kata ages ago, done quite well by a very skilled 17-18 year old. I can't imagine the sort of muscle control it takes to do that. Title: Re: Kung Fu Panda Post by: Samwise on June 11, 2008, 10:45:38 PM Okay, the movie was pretty good. I don't have to lose all respect for Jack Black after all. Yay!
Title: Re: Kung Fu Panda Post by: ahoythematey on June 12, 2008, 12:04:01 AM First CGI movie I've seen not made by Pixar that had the Pixar feel to it, instead of the rest of the trash like shrek and such that rely way too much on fucking toilet humor to move things along. Exceeded expectations.

And pop culture references.Title: Re: Kung Fu Panda Post by: ahoythematey on June 12, 2008, 01:10:34 AM That too. I really hate Shrek.
Title: Re: Kung Fu Panda Post by: Phildo on June 16, 2008, 04:25:17 PM Just saw it. Excellent.
"There is no charge for awesomeness... or attractiveness." Title: Re: Kung Fu Panda Post by: HAMMER FRENZY on June 16, 2008, 04:40:28 PM Yeah, I checked this out this past weekend. I really liked it. It was pretty damn funny and the characters were pretty fun to watch jump around. It is a shame that I was watching a bunch of old kung fu movies in the weeks runnin up to it though, cause the movie has some cool scenes, but it is tough to follow up a month full of Shaw bros classics...oh well. I liked this movie though. It is really fun.
