Movie Review: Kung Fu Panda 2 3D

Kung Fu Panda 2 - 3D

This one did not start with dialog as fabulous as "There is no charge for awesomeness and attractiveness..." rather a quiet one as "My fist hungers for justice!!! That was... my fist..." which Jack Black (voice) and CGI made look hilarious.

Well this review can't be complete without the comparison with the masterpiece prequel... at least for me... Kung-Fu Panda 2 brings another 3D spectacular to the screen, might be not as good as the first one... but an eligible part 2.

I was looking to find something as memorable as
A. Dialogs from the first one... each crafted with meaning and timing or
B. Concept of last bite Kung-Fu sequence!
...which were missing; but the movie kept up with pace and events. A Hero with personal issues finally overcoming a dangerous villain with the help of Friends to save Kung-Fu & china.

A movie that entertains and keeps storyline connected , dialogs not as catchy as previous one, A villain not as dangerous as Tai Lung(the Leopard villain from the last movie), Po(The Panda) with the same awesomeness as before and lastly Spectacular CGI... which gives this movie everything it needs... to become a blockbuster. :)

A refresher for the weekend and movie which will make place in sequel collections of all Movie Buffs... and give them INNER PEACE (not PIECE as Panda understood)!!!

Highly recommended... if you haven't watched it yet!!!

Movie Review: X-Men First Class

X Men First Class

Did I already say First Class... A movie which kept me glued to the screen for the whole time... So captivating... Storytelling as good as it can get!

X-Men has been my favorite series of comic book characters so it did not matter that who played what role or is there any big stars associated with it... but the newly ensemble cast also keeps you so indulged in the story that you cannot miss even a single moment.

CGI effects are not very spectacular as Avatar or Inception but still keeps the momentum going...

A movie which is 5th in the series and First in the timeline... shows the evolution of the X-Men; one of the series where movies are interrelated but still not related!!!

It was one of the most awaited movies of Summer 2011 and was worth the wait...

Highly recommended for X-Men and Superhero’s fans...
