Hello, this is my second week of doing the school journal thing. As you may see I added in spoiler tags for everybody's convenience. Back to topic, let's see what we have in store for us today.

First, I went to watch this with my friends after our school's independence day celebration. We raced to East Coast Center some of us by foot and some of us by car. Fun! Then we raced to the cinema, and frankly we got seats 2 rows from the bottom (for girls) and 3 rows from the bottom (for boys). We can only watch it at 13.50, so we have to get that seat. We bought snacks and drinks and now I think I have a sore throat. I was quite nauseous, but it all paid off. By the way there were many students from Cita Hati there as well as teachers :)
This time the story tells after Po had been declared as the dragon warrior. This time they have a new villain named Lord Shen who had been banished by his parents. Lord Shen plans to take over China using fireworks (I guess the reason they did this is because it's eye candy for 3D). So, Po had to save China.
While saving China, Po had some problem with his past, he was confused about it because he'd finally realized that his father (Mr. Ping) was not really his real father and Mr. Ping said he found Po in his box of radishes.
During the adventure, Po then noticed that Lord Shen was the one responsible for his parents' (and race') death. So, Po technically is avenging his parents's death and saving China.
End Spoilers
The plot looks cliche, but it has a nice moral to it. As usual this movie brought me laughs and other people too. One of my favorite quotes from the movie
Soothsayer: Your story may not have such a happy beginning, but that doesn't make you who you are. it is the rest of your story, who you choose to be... So, who are you, Panda?
Let's see what the critics had to say
Rotten Tomatoes: 82 %
The storyline arc may seem a tad familiar to fans of the original, but Kung Fu Panda 2 offers enough action, comedy, and visual sparkle to compensate.
Roger Ebert: 3 and a half star
"Kung Fu Panda 2" is exactly as you'd expect, and more. The animation is elegant, the story is much more involving than in the original, and there's boundless energy.
As for me I enjoyed the movie a lot, same as the first one the moral is also good, so it's a 4/5 stars from me :)
That's for this week, please join me next week too! Follow the blog!!
