Who says that fat guy can’t jump? Not
you ey!? Well never mind because trust me, somebody did.
Well, if any of you guys and gals out
there have ever seen the TV weight management program titled The Biggest Loser,
then I’ll bet that you’ll change your mind.
When this movie were aired in the big
screen in 2008, i did not manage to watch any of the teaser nor the trailer
before I went to the cinema, so when the show started, I was puzzled, the first
5 - 10 minutes introduction of the movie seems like it’s not done in 3D
animation but the traditional Cartoon Network toon series instead. I was
discouraged...mmm... ok, maybe discourage was not the right word but i felt
like the movie was not as I expected, I felt down a bit but then when the
introduction past, I was relieved, it is in modern 3D animation.
The panda was, in my opinion, made
around Jack Black’s character and believes me when I say this, that guy is a
really funny dude.
The story circles around this panda
figure who were stuck in his daily life helping his dad in their noodle shop but
deep inside he aspires to be a legendary kung fu figure. He worship the town
champion called the Furious Five. Yes! Worship! J He even has their toy
figurines in collection.
As the story goes, the panda simply
named Po in the movie (funny that all other character was simply named as who
they are, eg: monkey, Mantis, Tigress, Crane and hmmm...ouch! I didn’t remember
the snake guy name... :P) was chosen to be the Dragon Warrior, the chosen one
to fend all evil in this world throwing everyone’s expectation way off, even
his sifu didn’t believe that he should be the chosen one.
When words that he was chosen as the
dragon warrior got out and reached a heavily guarded prison (which by the way only holds
one prisoner. J hey! It’s a cartoon, who
cares about common sense), the mighty prisoner Tai Lung, who was the Hamster
sifu’s adopted son which was brought up believing that he is the Dragon Warrior
and then only to be denied the only thing that he grows up believing in by the
Master sifu Oogway (he’s a tortoise anyway), he felt that he have to challenge
this newly celebrated Dragon Warrior, it’s that kung fu master’s complex
syndrome I guess, everybody just have to challenge everybody just to prove that
they’re better.
Tai Lung broke out of prison in a very
magnificent way, the graphic was really excellent and the movement is something
that put every audience to awe (In fact, the graphic was excellent throughout
the whole movie).
The movie is really entertaining, funny, an eye candy and suitable for all adults and children.
The movie presentation is good and you
should be ashamed of yourself if you did not see it yet, my advice, get the DVD
(oh! It’s already in Bluray too) and prepare to be entertained.
