Kung Fu Panda

Anyone else think this could be a 50/50 chance? I really want to go see it, after all how often do you get to watch a karate fighting panda, but I'm not sure if Jack Black will come through on this one. For every one of his flicks I like I hate another one...but Angie is in it so at least the husband doesn't have to be drugged to see it.

I'm gonna call this one as a stinker.

However, I'm sure it'll open at #1 and eventually pull in over 100 million.

Dreamworks animation figured out their formula a few years back: Make 'em funny, give 'em talking animals, and stuff 'em full of celebrity voices.

To wit:

Antz
Shrek 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10...
Shark Tale
Madagascar
Over The Hedge
Bee Movie

I have no idea if I will see this one or not. I remember watching School of rock when it first came out and thinking its going to be horrible. I ended up getting to the premiere late and the only sit left was the very front row maybe 6 feet from the screen. So Jack has left a bad taste in my mouth, but its possible for a renter. I do like the idea of a fighting Panda though.

Remember when we watched High Fidelity and said "Who is this Jack Black feller? We need to see more of him."

I've officially hit my Jack Black saturation threshold.

I'm not a huge fan of his either but the fighting panda seems at least moderately cute. I'll be waiting to the DVD, though, as I won't spend much money on "cute".

I did love that scene where the panda sits on the tiger's face. That one got a good laugh out of me. I still chuckle at the thought of it.

The first movie I ever saw Jack Black in (that I remember anyway) was Orange County... In all honesty I'll probably like this movie. I usually like the animated ones - with the exception of that Surf's Up movie - i despised it for some reason. But I'll give this one a go when it comes out on dvd. Most likely not a moment before then though.

Alright, I already know I won't like this before even seeing it.

Even Jack Black cannot save this one for me, and I liked most of the films that he has been in before.

Dreamworks has been milking the cow(no offense Moo!) on this sort of thing for too long now, and I got tired of Shrek after the 2nd one.

They might have hit the brick wall with this one. Time to Pixar up and make something geared towards an older crowd.
