Critics Consensus

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.

2.5/5

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.

A colorful and emotional continuation of Po's journey, with beautiful animation, entertaining action, and plenty of humor. The father-son relationship adds genuine warmth, while Kai makes for a visually impressive but somewhat generic villain. The story is simpler than the first two, and some comedy feels aimed more at kids, but the themes of identity, family, and self-acceptance give it a satisfying emotional core.

Crazy to think that at one point this was my favourite kung fu panda film. Although I now think of it to be the weakest of the first three movies, I still think that it is incredibly underrated. For one, I personally love the continuation of Po's arc with him struggling with not only teaching kung fu, but also his own personal identity as a: panda, the dragon warrior, a teacher a student, or who his true family is. I also think that out of all the films in the franchise, this is not only the most magical and optimistic, but also has the best animation,and music out of all the films. Although Kai isn't as great as Tai lung or lord shen, I still think that he's a pretty underrated villain who's also destroyed by his own hubris, but I wish his motivations were explored further. Also there are a few Plot holes, like how did TIGREss know the location of the secret panda village? and how did she get there so fast? but it doesn't really serve as a detriment to the film.
