The fourth time is truly the charm in this long-running franchise.
Slick and briskly paced, the film incorporates its origins while conjuring enough laughs and fun to effectively deliver for parents and their cubs.
O filme é incrível e acredito que com esse filme podemos dizer que kung fu panda foi fechado com chave de ouro, para assistir com a família é muito bom e recomendo que assista dês do primeiro filme.
Lots of people are giving this movie a hard time. But that doesn’t track with the movie I saw. I didn’t just like it, but loved it. I think people might be missing the true point of this movie. I see a story building in what came before, and opening the door to something we never could have expected.
Black and Awkwafina and Hoffman do their jobs, but the jokes have a way of arriving like jokes, and sounding like jokes, but not quite being jokes. This is an action movie foremost, which is fine.
The balance between humour and heart that defined the carefully calibrated earlier films is slightly off.
Like its villain, Kung Fu Panda 4 can do an imitation, but we can tell it’s not the genuine article.
It’s a hurricane of slapstick (some of it in fact very funny) and age-appropriate energetic fight scenes, but lacks the sweetness and charm of the franchise at its best.
Instead of finding the perfect balance of humor as the other films did, jokes outweigh and occasionally undercut the few resounding sentiments on personal evolution.

Like the other Kung Fu Panda sequels, it's not even close to the quality of the original. But it does have a few moments of animation artistry and humorous action to offer. Jack Black and Awkwafina are notably entertaining.
The movie is fun and held my attention until the end, but it lacks substance. Also, the "substitute" arc felt incomplete. Visually, it's impressive. The Atmos track is also pretty good. But the villain just couldn't keep up with it.
