After three death-defying adventures defeating world-class villains with his unmatched courage and mad martial arts skills, Po, the Dragon Warrior (Golden Globe nominee Jack Black), is called upon by destiny to... give it a rest already. More specifically, he's tapped to become the Spiritual Leader of the Valley of Peace. That poses a couple of obvious problems. First, Po knows as much about spiritual leadership as he does about the paleo diet, and second, he needs to quickly find and train a new Dragon Warrior before he can assume his new lofty position. Even worse, there's been a recent sighting of a wicked, powerful sorceress, Chameleon (Oscar® winner Viola Davis), a tiny lizard who can shapeshift into any creature, large or small. And Chameleon has her greedy, beady little eyes on Po's Staff of Wisdom, which would give her the power to re-summon all the master villains whom Po has vanquished to the spirit realm. So, Po’s going to need some help. He finds it (kinda?) in the form of crafty, quick-witted thief Zhen (Golden Globe winner Awkwafina), a corsac fox who really gets under Po’s fur but whose skills will prove invaluable. In their quest to protect the Valley of Peace from Chameleon’s reptilian claws, this comedic odd-couple duo will have to work together. In the process, Po will discover that heroes can be found in the most unexpected places.

Kung Fu Panda 4 | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Matt Goldberg TheWrap Like its villain, “Kung Fu Panda 4” can do an imitation, but we can tell it’s not the genuine article. Aug 8, 2024 Full Review Kung Fu Panda 4 | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Mark Kermode Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube) If the script was sharper or funnier and if the gags were better maybe you wouldn't notice, but it does feel like a lot of it is a bunch of people in recording booths doing some schtick and them animating around it. Apr 2, 2024 Full Review Kung Fu Panda 4 | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Ed Potton Times (UK) The plot may be cursory — Po has to graduate to spiritual leader of the Valley of Peace and find a successor for his job as dragon warrior — but Black attacks it with knockabout zeal. Rated: 4/5 Apr 1, 2024 Full Review Kung Fu Panda 4 | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Andrew J. Salazar Discussing Film While it may not be quite as amazing as the first two films, the inspired craftsmanship and sincere messages of Kung Fu Panda 4 make up for its few flaws. Rated: 4/5 Sep 3, 2024 Full Review Kung Fu Panda 4 | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Tim Brayton Alternate Ending The series has finally produced its first lousy entry. Rated: 2/5 Aug 13, 2024 Full Review Kung Fu Panda 4 | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Jack Martin Film Feeder While it is the weakest in the series thus far, at least from a storytelling and even styling standpoint, Kung Fu Panda 4 gives audiences most of what they want to see, which should generate enough inner peace with anyone who goes to check it out.

Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/29/24 Full Review Alex Rodriguez I wish I could say I loved it but, it had its flaws.
