I went to see this panda-hero animated film the other day, on the back of some rave reviews in the paper, and I must say, it was pretty good. It had a lot of good gags in it, mainly to do with how fat the panda was, a great hero voiced by the loveable Jack Black, and a sexy tigress (Angelina of course). Add to this a genuinely scary bad guy, a wise yoda-esque turtle sage and some great fight sequences, and you’re left with a thoroughly enjoyable film.
However, spending almost ten pounds to watch and hour and a half’s worth of a cartoon, no matter how good, seems to me something of a con. I mean, I get family guy on every night and don’t have to pay for it, and that’s a lot funnier than this. I suppose I feel that if it’s worth going to the cinema, you should see something which really needs to be seen at the cinema. A surround sound special effects epic, or a film so steeped in political intrigue that the focus a cinema viewing brings is necessary. But for a cartoon . . . not sure.
