  1. This movie is total trash because of many reasons like there are fight of furious 5 and the dragon warrior was supposed to be tigeress and the ending was bad the villian was bad and we thought that po will fight with tai lung and shen,kai didn't even have a single word

  2. I felt the build up and climax in the final conflict was… underwhelming

    The morphing of the Chameleon into a frankenmonster was cool and all, but she… didnt really do much.. she didnt felt that much of a threatening villain

    Would have been so much better if they made use of the past villains, maybe give them a redemption arc, in one massive final showdown, with the past villains being Po's allies fighting against clones of other masters.

    My fav past villain, Shen, didnt even said a single word! dissapointng..

  3. Really wishes the movie was about a redemption of tai lung. If Po really had to pick a new dragon warrior it would of really been great to see Tai Lung to get his redemption and become the dragon warrior himself

  4. I have a suggestion for a satisfying sequel trilogy. First of all scrap this movie it isn't canon it doesn't exist.

    Make it so that Po is getting older so he temporarily passes the title of Dragon Warrior to Tigress and travels to China's greatest Kung Fu schools to find young new successors.

    Let's say that all ot the Furious Five are also older, Po having that in mind would go on a journey to recruit and train the best students of each school, and to accept his own mortality.

    We could make his journey similar to Lightning McQueen's where he needs to accept that he's getting older and won't be around for too long. He needs to again find his inner peace but this time with his own mortality.

    Shifu should be dying at the beginning of the first movie and as Paul doesn't want him to go Shifu tells him that he'll soon have the same fate and that it's okay because he's passed his legacy through Po and the Furious Five. Shifu tells him to make peace with his own mortality and pass his legacy to a new generation thus setting up the plot of the movie and the trilogy.

    This could easily be made into a trilogy with a satisfying and personal journey for Po and for us the audience that has grown with him since we were little kids, the same audience who is now facing adulthood and will leave their legacy to the new generation.

    God I think I'm gonna cry lol

  5. I was looking forward for General Kai to get some much needed development. Oogway seemed like he didn't care about his 'brother'. Then there was Shen and Lung and it's frustrating how little we get of them.

  6. I just saw it in cinema; it was awful! Horrible pacing; too much jokes plus none of them were funny except the crazy kids; the music is not memorable, the villain's motivation makes no sense. She was rejected because she is small? What about Mantis and Viper? They wouldn't became evil if they were rejected. The cameleon is not menacing, interresting and her name is boring. The climax was too quick, the others villains did NOTHING except Tai lung. He tried to defeat her.

    I find it weird that him, Shen and Tai respected Po after he free them. That came out of nowhere and wasn't believable. Tai lung and the others likes him apparently 🤨

    The fox girl was not annoying BUT her friendship with Po was not developped. Didn't care whne she betray him and her past was rushed. She was an orphan, trusted the cameleon because she gave him a jewel back. Ok?

    The movie was bad and ALL the kids where talking loud in the room. It wasn't fun! I give KFP4 4|10. If i had to choose between Shark tale and this movie, i pick ST anyday. At least, the songs were fun and Leni the shark was likable. Can't say anything nice about KFP4.

  7. Just saw the movie have some thoughts:
    •Why can’t they have Kai and Shan talk,I get the budget but just give them a couple lines please
    •Shen would’ve NEVER respected Po I doubt Kai either,Tai Lung just maybe
    •Why does Po have to immediately choose his successor Oogway was waited long enough to see gta 6 come out
    •I thought Kai hated the spirit realm why does he just walk back into it
    •Why didn’t they bring back master oogway

  8. the point was the po could have defeated the chameleon easily at any time, but was trying to train his fox friendo who's so generic i don't remember her name to become the new dragon warrior. i think the movie sucks but not because of the power-scaling.

  9. I honestly don’t care. I don’t like Dreamworks animation because there movies in my view are basically the same shit over and over again only with a different celebrity voice cast. And when they aren’t being juvenile and gross, they’re fucking boring as hell.

  10. It seems that many people are mad at Disney and Pixar making so many sequels instead of originals like Toy Story 5 Frozen 3 & 4 Moana 2 Zootopia 2 and Inside Out 2 for the sake of money, But then how come DreamWorks and Illumination get free Passes for making sequels and adaptations?!?!
