Let's just say it's not a bad movie, but coming from the Kung Fu Panda trilogy it sure is a disapointment. One of the best moments in the Kung Fu Panda trilogy is when it slows down for the great character moments and allows for you to digest all the kung fu craziness that happens and Po finding out what he needs to learn to better himself to help others. This movie takes the complete opposite direction and is just non-stop "going through the motion" type of movie like they think the audience has ADHD or something. The worst part is that I don't think Po even grows as a person, he's still struggling with the "inner peace" thing that he was suppose to overcome in the second movie. Oh and they managed to make a worst and forgettable villain than the third movie when the first and second movie had excellent villains. The villains were what make the Kung Fu Panda movies great and while the other 3 villains are "in the movie" only Tai Lung has any speaking role and it's about as you would expect. And the director lied about the Furious Five, they're on a "different mission" and only show up until the credits without any speaking roles. What you got left is a buddy movie between Jack Black and Awkwafina that don't feel like they got any chemistry with each other.

With that said, the movie's fight chereography is still top notch with great animation, as you come to expect from Dreamworks films. It's a shame, I was hoping they would go with a different art style or something but you can't get mad at something that works.

6.5/10, I wish I liked this movie better.
