Kung Fu Panda 3 boasts the requisite visual splendor, but like its rotund protagonist, this sequel's narrative is also surprisingly nimble, adding up to animated fun for the whole family.

Kung Fu Panda 3 concludes on a definite high note, filled with eye-popping animated set pieces as well as thrilling story beats that I was perfectly entertained by.

4/5

Kung Fu Panda 3 revisits the same themes as its predecessors ... But that familiarity doesn't lessen the film's emotional impact and solid laughs.

It may serve up exactly the same mix of mayhem, noodles and dumplings as the first two films in the series, but Kung Fu Panda 3 is still energetic and wildly entertaining fare.

The biggest problem with “Kung Fu Panda 3” is tone: while the first two films WERE funny, the third film TRIES to be funny with too much hyperactivity and “gags” everywhere, saturating the viewers instead of making them laugh. Full review in Spanish.

3/5

While this is the weakest of the now four feature films, it does give Po his father and show his two fathers negotiating team parenting. Po must find his chi and fight jade zombies with the help of his biological father's panda village.

2.5/4

Overall, the animation arguably achieves the best looking of the three movies; however, Kung Fu Panda 3 is also the most inconsistently stylized.

It’s a good and fun movie. Not quite as good as the previous two, but a worthy entry in the franchise. Recommend for sure.

Definitely the worst of the three. Think they tried to tackle too much in this film tho. It was some good ideas, I just don't think they meshed the best. I would've thought this was a nice way to end the trilogy tho until I realized there was a forth film. My excitement is not the greatest...

Kung Fu Panda 3 is a cozy but safe conclusion to the trilogy. While lacking the bold risks of the second film, it delivers a heartwarming and visually stunning experience. The script is the weakest link, moving at a rushed pace and relying too heavily on jokes that undercut genuine tension. The action abandons gritty martial arts for cosmic fantasy, the Furious Five are largely wasted, and the villain Kai is incredibly shallow despite great voice acting. However, the film truly excels in its emotional core: Po’s transition from student to teacher, and the mature, touching dynamic between his two dads. Aesthetically, the movie is a masterpiece, boasting jaw-dropping 3D animation, brilliant world-building, and a phenomenal score by Hans Zimmer. Ultimately, despite an average story, its massive heart and breathtaking visuals make it a highly entertaining and nostalgic watch.

An absolute blast and a beautiful conclusion to the core trilogy! Kung Fu Panda 3 strikes the perfect balance between hilarious comedy and genuine heart. Watching Po navigate "team parenting" with his biological dad and Mr. Ping adds a really touching layer to the story. The animation in the Spirit Realm and the panda village is absolutely breathtaking and the action sequences are as creative and epic as ever. It's a wonderful, feel good movie for the entire family. Skadoosh!
