yinkung fu panda - everybody go KUNG FU FIGHTING! (LINK)
June 18th 2008 07:38
if you ever needed a cheer-upper. this is a must watch. i spent 3/4 of the show, at the edge of my seat (and occasionally almost crushing the boyfriend’s hand) just laughing my head off. i don’t know how they do it, but they did it so well. i’m not a huge fan of jack black (or actually, his face), but the way dreamworks created and animated kung fu panda, made me forget that it was jack black in a digital panda-suit.
hell! you wouldn’t even know angelina jolie voice tigress if it weren’t for the credits rolling at the end.
it’s your typical combination of the unsuspected (but we all know it’s gonna be him) underdog who’s been chosen/typecasted to play the hero but is clearly not cut up for it. all the criticism and the hurt from the famous 5 kung fu warriors whom he idolizes and admires hurt him. but he’s a bear (did you know pandas are actually a relative of the racoon?) with a thick coat and the jibes bounce off him. well, until the crunch time when big bad snow leopard breaks out of prison (it’s seriously amazing. i mean, take THAT michael scofield!) to wreak havoc after he finds out that they’ve found the elusive and mighty dragon warrior.
i was quite surprised that the flow of the show was… perfect. like the right amount of slow reflective moments, the right amount of action-packed kungfu power and just that right amount of sap or drama and comedy. it’s brilliant! some people would argue that it’s just an animated show and appeals to the kids, but trust me, the adults who were in GV max with me were equally enjoying themselves.
totally random: the macdonal’s viper for the happy meal set either looks pathetic or just… wrong. it’s like a skinny dildo for gawd’s sake!
at the end of the fight i pretty much understood why the turtle chose panda instead of the existing 5. it makes sense. tai long is swift and sleek. he’s powerful and fast. the 5 have been trained in the similar manner as he had and its possible that they’re all following the same steps and mindset as laid down by shifu.
along comes panda who is the physical opposite of tai long. he’s big and furry and fat. the nerve attacks don’t work on him (remember when mantis was doing acupuncture and got all mixed up?) because what you initially assume to be the pressure points turn out not to be there. altho i hope the boyfriend does not think that being as big and round as the panda is a good thing. we do not do nerve attacks here. the belly also works in deflecting/absorbing attacks! although i can’t be too sure bout the agility since that mostly sets in when he’s thinking bout food.
we’re still trying to figure out the pinky-thing tho. the end bit with shifu just lying down, not dead, was prolly the best hilarious bit.
verdict? OMG WATCH IT! it’s hilarious and i think i’ll just bring my parents to catch it this coming weekend.
yes oh wise one, be prepared for awesomeness!
