Kung Fu Panda 3. I've been wanting to re-watch it for a long time now to remember how I felt about it, whether I liked it or not.
Only one moment throughout the entire movie gave me the feels: the scene taken directly from Kung Fu Panda 2 with Po's mom and baby Po. Being reminded about the events of the second movie made me feel more emotion than anything else, because THAT'S a good movie
Part 3 is okay, I guess, but I remembered why it didn't leave much of an impact on me. I also remembered why the villain is just...nothing.
Part 1 and 2, the stakes are higher and the villains are written better, they're more fleshed out, and more sympathetic. Kai... Not so much. He's just there, he just did a thing and wanted more power.
The best thing about Kung Fu Panda 3 is Mr. Ping. If it weren't for him being a main presence throughout the film....yeah.
Oh well. Kung Fu Panda 4 exists solely to make the third movie better by comparison. Part 1 and 2 are literally all we needed, they are superior. We're introduced to everyone, we're told their stories and their arcs are concluded perfectly.
