Tai lung: I escaped a prison and killed everyone in my way Shen: I committed a genocide to the whole panda species Kai: i took the chi of every kung fu master The Cameleon: i pushed someone down the stairs....
I have to ask,WHY THE HELL IS KAI BACK?! Bro got reduced to atoms in the spirit realm (essentially the afterlife). He’s literally deader than dead and there shouldn’t be anything left to bring back.
My guess would have to be that The Staff of Wisdom can bring anyone back from The Spirit Realm even if their spirit has gotten completely demolition or that in The Spirit Realm no one can die even if your soul has been demolished in there. But it was clear that he was just thrown in there for fan service and with no explanation.
Spirit realm is not strictly speaking the afterlife. From what I see kong fu panda is loosely based on wuxia which is chinese mythology. Where there is kinda an afterlife but they mostly use reincarnation. which means that the spirit realm can be considered purgatory or a diffrent plane of existence with it's own law's like people not being able to die in the spirit realm or something else like spirits just straight up not being able to die ever. You can go down this rabbit hole further but there could be so manny reasons he could be alive but it boils down to either magic or mythology things.
Tai Lung: My father lied to me my entire life. Promising a title I was never destined to claim. Shen: I did what I could to stop my fate. When my parents found out what I had done. They banished me. Kai: My best friend that I loved like a brother betrayed me and let my memory die. Chameleon: IM SMOL.
It was just so predictably cringe. The whole story began because Po instantly trusted the words of a cronic thief, let her completely free when po can’t her. They become friends, then, wooowww i didn’t expect that, she betrays him. THEN WOOOOOOOW SOOO UNEXPECTED SHE REVERSE BETRAYS
it all has to do with the director, they should have sticked with the same director doing the previous movies like transformers movie director being michael bay.
If you can't have the voice actors of the previous villains reprise their roles, then don't tell us that their returning and don't bring them back at all.
I blame Mitchell for trying to ax Tigress and the rest of the 5 to be cheap (even knicking the idea of Shifu being kidnapped so he'd be there to reconcile with Tai Lung. Thank goodness for the animators and marketing making their distain known. All we needed was a scene of Tigress and the 5 politely, and to Po's Shock, turning down the Dragon Warrior Title as they no longer need it as they wish to instead choose and make their own Destinies. Ex: Viper taking over her Father's place as Grand Master, Crane taking over Lee Dai Acadamy alongside his old friend Mei Ling the Mountain Lioness, Monkey seeks out troubled youths to redeem as Oogway did for him, Mantis becomes a traveling acupuncturist warrior looking for love and praise, and Tigress has become a wandering warrior also attempting to achieve her inner peace by tracking down her origins before either taking over as the New Caretaker of Bao Gu Orphanage or choosing to be by Po's side so they're never alone. 🐼❤🐯
Universal only gave them a budget of 85 million USD vs the 145 million USD budget 3 got. The voice actors for F5 are _expencive_ . They have no control over the budget, so I dont think its fair to blame him for cutting corners. But I do agree that all the desitions he made for the movie was soo bad, and (from what I heard) he was a very shitty director.
@@cruximee Regardless a scene where Po asks Shifu to name one of the 5 with Shifu, anticipating that answer, had already checked with them earlier and they replied with a letter to Po that Po reads out loud could've saved the need to hire the Five's voice actors. It'd be better than learning Tigress got screwed out of another chance because she was fighting the 'Free Range Chicken Clan.'
I wish Tigress and the other four were in this movie so Po could just pick one of them also it would make more sense because they have been training for YEARS!
I didn’t think that Po needed to lay down his role as the dragon warrior, since he was still young, but if he had to it’d be the best if he’d choose Tigress, in my opinion. I wasn’t interested in a fox with a boring design that had to be voiced by Akwafina.
My biggest complaint about this movie is that both the internal and external conflicts felt weak and awkward. Starting with The Chameleon's motive to be evil, I mean, when she said that she wasn't taught Kung Fu because she was considered "small and weak," that threw me way off, especially when we have a tiny character like Mantis beating up foes many times his own size or even Po himself being a "big fat panda," considered weak with almost no one believing in him before becoming the Dragon Warrior... This series is literally about becoming more than what you or others believe you can be. I thought because of The Chameleon's lack of people believing in her, that would have been the perfect opportunity for Po to mentor her as the Spiritual Leader the movie was building up for him to be. But the writers completely missed that opportunity and just went "beat villain, world safe, Fox now Dragon Warrior." Speaking of Po becoming the Spiritual Leader, this is also a very odd decision. As you said, Po hasn't been the Dragon Warrior for that long and it really just feels like Master Shifu would rather have someone better and "more suitable" to be the Dragon Warrior. I mean, we see how he reacts to Zhen when she is picked as the next Dragon Warrior. The previous movies really went in depth with what it means to be the "Dragon Warrior" (from a blank scroll to healing scars to discovering your true self), but Master Shifu, and really the entire movie, forgot all that. But with that in mind, I guess it really doesn't matter who is made the Dragon Warrior in the end whether it feels deserved or not, but in this case, I feel like it was a bit forced for Zhen to be Po's successor, almost as if the drive the producers had for making this film was "What animal can we make into a cute marketable plushie?" Anyway, those are some of my thoughts.
Poor writing for when Chameleon snatches Tai Lung’s spiritual power. The original Tai Lung would never have been able to NOT block a telegraphed mouth attack. Come one, people. It’s like Tai Lung couldn’t see a random punch toward him. Bad writing.
Mike. I want to express my gratitude to you for spoiling such a fantastic movie series. Zhen ought to have been Tai Lung, and this film should have been his redemption story. He and Po would have had a hilarious yet serious interaction, similar to that of Goku and Vegeta. He ruined the chances for Tai Lung and Shifu to reunite, undermined the Furious Five, prevented Chameleon from becoming a truly scary villain, and I believe someone else should be in charge of the next movie.
That's a pretty cool idea, like imagine the chameleon finding some way to bring in someone from the spirit realm without po's staff where she summons tai lung but he manages to escape. then yada yada, maybe combine the storyline where po has a vision of shifu getting kidnapped and both him and tai lung working together as frenemies
@@beholdenpieNot only was the box office higher than that of KFP 3, it was also confirmed that we'll be getting a fifth movie. I still have hope that they someway, somehow, don't completely blunder the fifth movie. PLEASE.
the people who worked on this movie had great ideas which were sadly shut down by the director. po wanting to choose one of the five as the dragon warrior, but them refusing, as it's not their destiny and not what they want anymore; shifu getting kidnapped and interacting with tai lung; the chameleon having a more fleshed out backstory (the director didn't want her to have one, for some reason).
The 2nd Po vs Zhen fight was stolen from KFP2. Zhen didn’t want Po to get hurt while fighting the Chameleon, so they fought, just like Tigeress didn’t Po to get hurt by Shen and fough, then both fights ended with them giving Po a hug
wtf does "stealing kung fu" mean. how do you just steal experience and years of discipline and training, amounting to incredible muscle memory and agility
yeah it doesn't make sense at all. How do you specifically choose to steal Kung Fu from people but not anything else, like their emotions or anything. And fighting in general isn't even always a mental thing it's a bodily reflex when trained hard enough. The plot is weak
Watched it with my family and yeah, everyone was disappointing, my mum loves everything and even she seemed a bit off after watching it, disappointed i mean. We all seemed to enjoy the same things mostly that you did though, I really liked the end where the older bad dudes came back and had respect for him, that was cool. It was an average mid TV movie but with some cool moments here and there honestly.
You wanna know what The Chameleon reminds me of… Broly from DB. Don't get me wrong, he was popular, but as a character he had the stupidest reason to be evil. He was startled by Goku's crying when they were babies. WOW, deep. But in Dragon Ball Super: Broly The Movie (2018), Broly was reinvented as a not only a superior character, but a ACTUAL person. He talks to people he has a softer side he’s 3 dimensional and likeable. And after watching that movie, it taught me that a terrible written villain (or any terrible written character in general) *can* be rebuild into something way better then they already are. I still do believe that it's still not too late for DreamWorks to retcon Kung Fu Panda 4 and rewrite it into something better then it already was. Especially The Chameleon. She has a sick design, and her full potential has yet to be seen. If Broly can go from a dumb character to a awesome character, then why not The Chameleon.
@Reverse-Goku Z Broly is the better character. Super Broly has a better story. Funny enough, super Broly actually ends up becoming what everyone says Z Broly is. An endlessly screaming dunce.
Kfp 4 isn't a bad movie, it really isn't, but the main reason it's the weakest one of the franchise is that it simply didn't have the same charm as the other 3 have. The first 3 movies were more than just Po kung fu-ing bad guys, he was actually learning valuable life lessons that helped him grow as a character, making him a compelling protagonist. But this movie is pretty much just that, Po kung fu-ing bad guys. I'm not even gonna bother talking about how The Chameleon's motivation for being evil completely denies the existence of viper, mantis, shifu, etc. Zhenn becoming the dragon warrior was so out of nowhere, I literally had the same reaction as shifu. It's a pretty decent movie tho, I give it a 6.5/10.
@@NikoTheAndroid I watched it a few days ago It isn't bad but isn't the best It is pretty mid but the editing is alot better I would say #3 was better than #4 but #4 is better than #2 so I would say if you want to sure
What I didn't like about the movie is Zhen's character, it just feels so forced and underdeveloped, reminds me of Cruz from Cars 3 but at least I can watch Zhen's character do and say things without gouging my eyes.
I think what pisses me off the most is that they literally had no buildup for Zhen, she didn't even have a special reason to be the dragon warrior, Po picked her just because, meanwhile Tai Lung is a much better option, it would have been a great conclusion to his character if he was the dragon warrior, but he just ends up being a fodder in the movie. Also because Chameleon is literally a nobody, Tai Lung was related to Shifu's past, Shen was related to Po's past, Kai was related to Oogway's past, who tf even is The Chameleon?
Ngl the funniest part in the video was when you and po reacted to the rogue bunnies at 9:26. Keep doing what you do to these vids bc they are so great!!
(Before I say anything, I straight up forgot this movie came out, went and bought it to watch it before watching this video, because the ADHD is strong in this one) Anyway, I honestly think the movie was great idea in theory, and just needed some more love? I love the plot line, I like the characters, but it feels like not enough depth was given to anyone really. I'd love to know how The Chameleon even got into power of Juniper City in the first place and what sorcery exactly she studied and learned... and also maybe an actual name? (Imagine having a baby and naming it "The Chameleon) It COULD HAVE been a really good movie, I feel like, but it was just okay? I wouldn't say it was bad, though. The animation still was amazing as always. Anyway, great video :D So happy to support your content!
Totally agree! This movie could have been loved by everyone had it just given more time and care. It’s really not as bad as some people make it out to be, it’s just disappointing for a KFP movie is all. And thank you so much for supporting me and the channel! Can’t tell you how appreciative I am!! You’re the best
It's still a fine movie, but I was still left incredibly disappointed. All my skepticisms became reality, and while not a bad movie, it is incredibly disappointing. I purposely lowered my expectations for this movie as well. I knew it wouldn't match the 9/10 original or the 10/10 almost perfect masterpiece of the second, so I set my expectations around 7/10 like the third... just for it to be so painfully average at the end of it.
16:45 I am actually very confused because literally the Minecraft movie it seems awesome and this seems awesome but everyone hates it. Let's make up absolutely no sense.
Tai lung or furious five deserve to be the role of dragon warrior, I watched so much kung fu panda 3 to accept, it's the perfect ending, not the 4th and I m scared what will kfp5 do to this franshise, I'm not mad, just very disapointed :(
I think that the main reason why the furious five weren't in the movie (voice line wise) was because they were not onky retired but also quite old as well, so their voices wouldn't sound the same.
2:36 dude we got thier backstories November 9, 2008 in the Secrets of the Furious Five shorts or if you ment how they became a team its Kung Fu Panda: Secrets of the Scroll first relesed December 15, 2015
i don't think it was ruined at all, but the fourth one was clearly the weakest in the franchise. damn the children in the replies still crying is crazy
Exactly. Some of these idiots keep on making videos saying that it's on the same level as that atrocious excuse for a sequel that is Megamind 2. Jeez people chill!
8:16 i remember when i saw that who is life's greatest enemy the fish:LIFE'S GREATEST ENEMY IS TIME me:finishes the movie searchs up whats life's greatest enemy google:no answer
Tai lung, DIED he DIED in the tvshow he even had a son that sayd he "died" he wasnt locked up, he DIED look i watched the show every morning because it was the only thing that was there in the mornin'- but he died his son sayd it why is HE back
It would have been a good movie if it was a 3 hour movie, the whole thing felt way too rushed, its felt like combining all 3 Lord of the Rings movie into one 90 minute movie
Great video! While not on par with the first three in my opinion, I still had a great time with my sisters when we watched it. On a second note, ¿Will you ever review Transformers One? Heard its a great movie that's unfortunately not doing so well in the box office.
Would you consider watching Kung Fu Panda: Awesome Secrets Collection? It has the backstory of the furious five as well as the back story of masters from Kung Fu Panda 2.
I just found your channel and I find your commentary super funny and engaging, Ty for the fun childhood recaps and reviews ❤ binge watch session commence!
Kung Fu Panda 4 hate is a bit forced, at least in my opinion. Movie is def a step back from the 3rd, but it still sells as a great kung fu panda film! The action in the film is at its peak, the voice acting sells, andd seeing Tai Lung back is such a delight. Everyones entitled to their own opinion, but I still think KFP 4 is a good movie, but not at the other movies' level. Great video!
Fully agree with that sentiment! Compared to the other 3 it’s a little disappointing, but compared to other animated movies coming out, it’s really not that bad hahah
I think kung fu panda 4 wouldve been better if it had a push in boots the last wish vibe with all the fighting, the lower fps, and the comic like zig zags when its engaged
1. THEY NERFED PO AFTER HE GOT GOD POWERS or somthin 2. referring back to what you said about the fox only just meeting po, WHY HER? 3. like you said WHERE THE HAWK IS THE FURIOUS FIVE? 4. I really thought yes, this movie would be a reflection of the past and a look at the future and a theoretical 5th movie would end the franchise on a soft note that everyone is ok and going on their own paths. Note: I've been a fan of this franchise from movie 1 and this makes me so sad that the cool epic 4th movie after the 3rd mystical magical and emotional movie has so many downsides :(
nerf? isn't' that term supposed to be used for videogames? He wasn't really weakened tho, We only see him have Godlike powers in the spirit realm and not in the mortal realm. Like did you see him do a goofy ahh fall when he returned to the mortal realm? I'd say he's gotten stronger, he even beat up chameleon as a dragon.
Some people said this movie graphics on par with the third which i'm dissagree this movie looks and feel cheaper even the storyboarsing feel cheaper The details is not on par at all
Actually, the backstory of the furious five we’re already told and a spinoff series. It’s cartoon animation. I think it’s on Netflix. I’m not sure where I saw it.
@@christophermartinez8836 So this is why this is movie is failed lol, becaused the fans loves soo much no matter the movie is failed. If you all still love it then they make an big mistakes again.
@@christophermartinez8836 Also the story is the most important in every movie, tv series and other stuff. This is why Disney failed because their storyline is such a crap.
I rewatched all 4 isn't bad just a ok film from the other 3. It felt rushed in my opinion that's all. Most people over exaggerate about there favorite villains or what not to give it a bad review. Honesty wish they didn't rushed. To also mention they shouldn't have left the furious 5 out since po relies on them throughout 1 and 2. Overall at 7.5/10. I hope the 5 kung fu panda movie gives us more since they have more time to work with. Loved the video.
I don’t know why people disrespect despicable me 4 and kung fu panda 4. These movies aren’t as good as the others, but they are still entertaining to watch
personally I liked it but there was 3 major flaws 1- how the fox girl speed blitzed shifu at the start of the movie when po got her out of prison 2- how the other villans kai and shin looked very weird and did not speak same thing for the furious 5 at the end sceen 3- which is the biggest flaw is the ending! how the chameleon despite having all the villans power tai who destroyed countless villages shin who almost ruled the valley and kai who was literally oogway rival she got defeated in a very dumb cheap way! I thought po will transcend all his powers and will reach oogway stage of power as hinted at the start of the movie when shifu told him to become something greater and he wouldve made the fox girl the dragon warrior and in a very sick way would defeat the chameleon but insted we got that garbage.
one good thing about this movie is that po's fight scenes are taken seriously unlike in the other 3 kfps where after every epic moment something goofy happens (like po realizing it's hot after he catches the fireball in kfp 2)
The problem is we saw po growing up from a normal panda to kung fu panda and in the 4th movie the fox become dragon warrior just because she is a female it looks forced you weren't able to attach with her story she has nothing special as compared to tigress
in short no. I watched it and it is actually quite good. I personally find how Po let Zhen fulfill her potential instead of kicking Chameleons ass right away a nice element. However the voice acting is quite garbage. overall 8/10
i only really ever saw the scenes with chameleon on yt because i was curious. and i also saw some tai lung.. from what i saw.. its dope! id gladly watch it! sure some of the talking is abit shallow but no movie is perfect! 7/10! and the po vs chameleon po fight scene gives me spiderverse vibes because of the colors and effects!
Should have bin about po and tylung getting to know each other and tylung redeeming himself. finaly becoming the dragon warrior then forgiving shefu for his upbringing. 6 months later we get tylung spin off season
The dragon warrior successor does kind of make sense because, despite being young, he has essentially fulfilled the role where oogway is, shifu kind of being in a similar role as in the first movie, and no one as the “dragon warrior” Although maybe someone already said this :P
I made videos on the first three Kung Fu Panda movies already!

the people who worked on this movie had great ideas which were sadly shut down by the director. po wanting to choose one of the five as the dragon warrior, but them refusing, as it's not their destiny and not what they want anymore; shifu getting kidnapped and interacting with tai lung; the chameleon having a more fleshed out backstory (the director didn't want her to have one, for some reason).
The 2nd Po vs Zhen fight was stolen from KFP2. Zhen didn’t want Po to get hurt while fighting the Chameleon, so they fought, just like Tigeress didn’t Po to get hurt by Shen and fough, then both fights ended with them giving Po a hug
A cheap knockoff of that scene 💀
wtf does "stealing kung fu" mean. how do you just steal experience and years of discipline and training, amounting to incredible muscle memory and agility
yeah it doesn't make sense at all. How do you specifically choose to steal Kung Fu from people but not anything else, like their emotions or anything. And fighting in general isn't even always a mental thing it's a bodily reflex when trained hard enough. The plot is weak
Watched it with my family and yeah, everyone was disappointing, my mum loves everything and even she seemed a bit off after watching it, disappointed i mean. We all seemed to enjoy the same things mostly that you did though, I really liked the end where the older bad dudes came back and had respect for him, that was cool. It was an average mid TV movie but with some cool moments here and there honestly.
"Everyone was disappointing" 😂😂😂
I enjoyed it too.
But my only problem was that "Po wasn't in His 90s Why He has to Pick a New Dragon Warrior already"
fun fact: the bar/tavern po and zhen enter is actually a cameo to the first movie's intro when po is dreaming
You wanna know what The Chameleon reminds me of… Broly from DB. Don't get me wrong, he was popular, but as a character he had the stupidest reason to be evil. He was startled by Goku's crying when they were babies. WOW, deep. But in Dragon Ball Super: Broly The Movie (2018), Broly was reinvented as a not only a superior character, but a ACTUAL person. He talks to people he has a softer side he’s 3 dimensional and likeable. And after watching that movie, it taught me that a terrible written villain (or any terrible written character in general) *can* be rebuild into something way better then they already are. I still do believe that it's still not too late for DreamWorks to retcon Kung Fu Panda 4 and rewrite it into something better then it already was. Especially The Chameleon. She has a sick design, and her full potential has yet to be seen. If Broly can go from a dumb character to a awesome character, then why not The Chameleon.
@Reverse-Goku Z Broly is the better character. Super Broly has a better story.
Funny enough, super Broly actually ends up becoming what everyone says Z Broly is. An endlessly screaming dunce.
Z Broly isn't startled by Goku's crying. The crying reminds him of almost being MURDERED.
Kfp 4 isn't a bad movie, it really isn't, but the main reason it's the weakest one of the franchise is that it simply didn't have the same charm as the other 3 have. The first 3 movies were more than just Po kung fu-ing bad guys, he was actually learning valuable life lessons that helped him grow as a character, making him a compelling protagonist. But this movie is pretty much just that, Po kung fu-ing bad guys. I'm not even gonna bother talking about how The Chameleon's motivation for being evil completely denies the existence of viper, mantis, shifu, etc. Zhenn becoming the dragon warrior was so out of nowhere, I literally had the same reaction as shifu. It's a pretty decent movie tho, I give it a 6.5/10.
Haven't even seen the movie yet... Should I watch it or not....?
Sorry for spoiling it to ya
@@LeonPacurar nah I like spoilers ^^
@@NikoTheAndroid I wouldn't recommend it personally.
@@NikoTheAndroid I watched it a few days ago
It isn't bad but isn't the best
It is pretty mid but the editing is alot better
I would say #3 was better than #4 but #4 is better than #2 so I would say if you want to sure
Cool that Shen got crushed and somehow got in the spirit realm, bro no clipped through the back rooms but ended up going to the spirit realm instead
What I didn't like about the movie is Zhen's character, it just feels so forced and underdeveloped, reminds me of Cruz from Cars 3 but at least I can watch Zhen's character do and say things without gouging my eyes.
Cruz is way better than Zhen.
I think what pisses me off the most is that they literally had no buildup for Zhen, she didn't even have a special reason to be the dragon warrior, Po picked her just because, meanwhile Tai Lung is a much better option, it would have been a great conclusion to his character if he was the dragon warrior, but he just ends up being a fodder in the movie.
Also because Chameleon is literally a nobody, Tai Lung was related to Shifu's past, Shen was related to Po's past, Kai was related to Oogway's past, who tf even is The Chameleon?
Ngl the funniest part in the video was when you and po reacted to the rogue bunnies at 9:26. Keep doing what you do to these vids bc they are so great!!
9:06 omg it’s me!
Po wasnt even trying. He just cooked the weird shapeshifting chameleon at the end without even trying
bro even my own mother is voiced by Aquafina at this point :/
(Before I say anything, I straight up forgot this movie came out, went and bought it to watch it before watching this video, because the ADHD is strong in this one)
Anyway,
I honestly think the movie was great idea in theory, and just needed some more love?
I love the plot line, I like the characters, but it feels like not enough depth was given to anyone really. I'd love to know how The Chameleon even got into power of Juniper City in the first place and what sorcery exactly she studied and learned... and also maybe an actual name? (Imagine having a baby and naming it "The Chameleon)
It COULD HAVE been a really good movie, I feel like, but it was just okay? I wouldn't say it was bad, though. The animation still was amazing as always.
Anyway, great video :D So happy to support your content!
Totally agree! This movie could have been loved by everyone had it just given more time and care. It’s really not as bad as some people make it out to be, it’s just disappointing for a KFP movie is all.
And thank you so much for supporting me and the channel! Can’t tell you how appreciative I am!! You’re the best
It's still a fine movie, but I was still left incredibly disappointed. All my skepticisms became reality, and while not a bad movie, it is incredibly disappointing. I purposely lowered my expectations for this movie as well. I knew it wouldn't match the 9/10 original or the 10/10 almost perfect masterpiece of the second, so I set my expectations around 7/10 like the third... just for it to be so painfully average at the end of it.
16:45 I am actually very confused because literally the Minecraft movie it seems awesome and this seems awesome but everyone hates it. Let's make up absolutely no sense.
It didnt feel like a movie it felt more like an episode
9:11 “dude shut up” 🙂💔

Bro you deserve so many more veiws. Your videos are well edited and make me laugh.
Glad you like them! I appreciate that so much :)
you forgot that we find out shifu is red panda
Having mrbeast in here was a REAL poor move now after "of course" it turns out he was rather controversial and [not safe for work] of a guy.
Tai lung or furious five deserve to be the role of dragon warrior, I watched so much kung fu panda 3 to accept, it's the perfect ending, not the 4th and I m scared what will kfp5 do to this franshise, I'm not mad, just very disapointed :(
I think that the main reason why the furious five weren't in the movie (voice line wise) was because they were not onky retired but also quite old as well, so their voices wouldn't sound the same.
NO WAY I FOUND THIS SERIES TODAY AND I STARTED WATCHING IT AND U UPLOADED A NEW ONE
DID IT JUST FOR YOU!!
0:32 MY EYES!
BRO AT 2:22 WHAT HE SAYS PERFECTLY MATCHES UP WITH WHAT PO IS SAYING!!!!!!!!
Lmao
2:36 dude we got thier backstories November 9, 2008 in the Secrets of the Furious Five shorts or if you ment how they became a team its Kung Fu Panda: Secrets of the Scroll first relesed December 15, 2015
I randomly got recommended one of your videos the other day & now I can’t stop watching them so.. thanks?
I’m extremely happy you’re enjoying everything! Comments like these always make my day
Why didn’t you mention the comeback scene of the furious 5 at the end!
15:50 cars 3 flashbacks
i don't think it was ruined at all, but the fourth one was clearly the weakest in the franchise.
damn the children in the replies still crying is crazy
True, like how people didn't like Cars 2, it's not the worst thing to exist, but still the weakest in the Cars franchise.
You both should stop coping
Like Sherk the Third
Exactly. Some of these idiots keep on making videos saying that it's on the same level as that atrocious excuse for a sequel that is Megamind 2. Jeez people chill!
Nah it’s absolute garbage even outside of the franchise
now it is going to be called kung fu fox 5
8:16 i remember when i saw that who is life's greatest enemy the fish:LIFE'S GREATEST ENEMY IS TIME me:finishes the movie searchs up whats life's greatest enemy google:no answer
Tai lung, DIED he DIED in the tvshow he even had a son that sayd he "died" he wasnt locked up, he DIED look i watched the show every morning because it was the only thing that was there in the mornin'- but he died his son sayd it why is HE back
It would have been a good movie if it was a 3 hour movie, the whole thing felt way too rushed, its felt like combining all 3 Lord of the Rings movie into one 90 minute movie
Great video! While not on par with the first three in my opinion, I still had a great time with my sisters when we watched it.
On a second note, ¿Will you ever review Transformers One? Heard its a great movie that's unfortunately not doing so well in the box office.
The scene where who the moutain goats think is Tai Lung making his first appearance would've been so much better had it actually been Tai Lung.
7:00 That dude didn’t die. He reappeared 10 minutes later
would be a good movie if the chameleon wasnt a mid ass villain and if tigress became the dragon warrior instead
(and if it wasnt so damn rushed)
The movie could've been better if you didn't exist😊
@@Brandon-k9u thanks that was nice of you
Would you consider watching Kung Fu Panda: Awesome Secrets Collection? It has the backstory of the furious five as well as the back story of masters from Kung Fu Panda 2.
That sounds awesome! I'd probably watch that eventually
“yo whats up” “dude shut up” rhymes
What’s that drill beat name when you were talking about tai lung?
8:33 mingo in dressrosa (only real ones would understand)
Another man of culture 🫂
I just found your channel and I find your commentary super funny and engaging, Ty for the fun childhood recaps and reviews ❤ binge watch session commence!
Thank you so much for the kind words! Comments like these make my day!
I know right and I see a lot of people are trying to say it's not as bad as it turned out to be but it's really bad
Wished that the chameleon would just wait for the climax in the movie rather than just go immediately for it
yesss another fire vid from darzii himself!
❤
You forgot to mention that before turning into Po, Chameleon combined the forms of a dozen monsters into one of the goofiest looking dragons ever.
Kung Fu Panda 4 hate is a bit forced, at least in my opinion.
Movie is def a step back from the 3rd, but it still sells as a great kung fu panda film! The action in the film is at its peak, the voice acting sells, andd seeing Tai Lung back is such a delight.
Everyones entitled to their own opinion, but I still think KFP 4 is a good movie, but not at the other movies' level. Great video!
Fully agree with that sentiment! Compared to the other 3 it’s a little disappointing, but compared to other animated movies coming out, it’s really not that bad hahah
I think kung fu panda 4 wouldve been better if it had a push in boots the last wish vibe with all the fighting, the lower fps, and the comic like zig zags when its engaged
1. THEY NERFED PO AFTER HE GOT GOD POWERS or somthin
2. referring back to what you said about the fox only just meeting po, WHY HER?
3. like you said WHERE THE HAWK IS THE FURIOUS FIVE?
4. I really thought yes, this movie would be a reflection of the past and a look at the future and a theoretical 5th movie would end the franchise on a soft note that everyone is ok and going on their own paths.
Note: I've been a fan of this franchise from movie 1 and this makes me so sad that the cool epic 4th movie after the 3rd mystical magical and emotional movie has so many downsides :(
nerf? isn't' that term supposed to be used for videogames?
He wasn't really weakened tho, We only see him have Godlike powers in the spirit realm and not in the mortal realm.
Like did you see him do a goofy ahh fall when he returned to the mortal realm?
I'd say he's gotten stronger, he even beat up chameleon as a dragon.
@@Instinct23-uf1rknerfing is a video game word but it is sometimes used outside of videogames
@@bobgdogedoghi8817 well what can I do? Words are gonna evolve to have different meanings anyway
@@Instinct23-uf1rkI’m just saying it’s used outside of video games

One thing that genuinely surprised me was that in some polls I saw of what the best KFP movie is, this had more votes than KFP3.
Ngl tho The Chameleon could've been named "Sorcerer Camo" instead
Did you speed up the audio? Sounds sped up, 0.75 is perfect though
Some people said this movie graphics on par with the third which i'm dissagree this movie looks and feel cheaper even the storyboarsing feel cheaper
The details is not on par at all
Actually, the backstory of the furious five we’re already told and a spinoff series. It’s cartoon animation. I think it’s on Netflix. I’m not sure where I saw it.
I can see potential in this channel, you will blow up someday! And you earned a subscriber
I had no idea the fox was played by the water bottle lady. I was wondering why her voice was so annoying
I liked this movie, and I don't care what any of the haters say.
Yeah, yeahh...But this movie probably ruined Kung Fu Panda storyline forever. They should ended the story on the third movie.
@@Lol-dw5xb So, I don't care if the movie ruined the stroyline. I will still watch it. Story isn't that important unless it's in a Disney Series.
@@christophermartinez8836 So this is why this is movie is failed lol, becaused the fans loves soo much no matter the movie is failed. If you all still love it then they make an big mistakes again.
@@christophermartinez8836 Also the story is the most important in every movie, tv series and other stuff. This is why Disney failed because their storyline is such a crap.
@@Lol-dw5xb Again, I don't care about Story. I just watch for entertainment, and that's my final thoughts.
I rewatched all 4 isn't bad just a ok film from the other 3. It felt rushed in my opinion that's all. Most people over exaggerate about there favorite villains or what not to give it a bad review. Honesty wish they didn't rushed. To also mention they shouldn't have left the furious 5 out since po relies on them throughout 1 and 2. Overall at 7.5/10. I hope the 5 kung fu panda movie gives us more since they have more time to work with. Loved the video.
Bro stop saying po’s 2 dads that’s so sus
It really feels like they had no other good ideas so they just brought back what made the others successful
I don’t know why people disrespect despicable me 4 and kung fu panda 4. These movies aren’t as good as the others, but they are still entertaining to watch
personally I liked it but there was 3 major flaws
1- how the fox girl speed blitzed shifu at the start of the movie when po got her out of prison
2- how the other villans kai and shin looked very weird and did not speak same thing for the furious 5 at the end sceen
3- which is the biggest flaw is the ending! how the chameleon despite having all the villans power tai who destroyed countless villages shin who almost ruled the valley and kai who was literally oogway rival she got defeated in a very dumb cheap way! I thought po will transcend all his powers and will reach oogway stage of power as hinted at the start of the movie when shifu told him to become something greater and he wouldve made the fox girl the dragon warrior and in a very sick way would defeat the chameleon but insted we got that garbage.
also the dragon warrior choice who tf are those what happened to the furious 5?! and the start of the movie I literally thought po fight was a dream
I dont care, i love zhen, she's an amazing deuteragonist and this also kinda follows the plot of murder drone idk
Same. I think she's cool
one good thing about this movie is that po's fight scenes are taken seriously unlike in the other 3 kfps where after every epic moment something goofy happens (like po realizing it's hot after he catches the fireball in kfp 2)
The problem is we saw po growing up from a normal panda to kung fu panda and in the 4th movie the fox become dragon warrior just because she is a female it looks forced you weren't able to attach with her story she has nothing special as compared to tigress
5:00 "I built a giant death trap"💀💀
5:01 I never knew lol
It’s extremely random to be fair haha
I like the third Kung Fu Panda it’s the best one!
*The part where Po became some sort of dragon in the spirit realm*
Overhated movie, I enjoyed it. My least favorite of the franchise but still good.
Ye its good idk how people hate it
in short no. I watched it and it is actually quite good. I personally find how Po let Zhen fulfill her potential instead of kicking Chameleons ass right away a nice element. However the voice acting is quite garbage. overall 8/10
I really want a 5th movie and see Zehn as a dragon warrior
3:51 what scene is this from?
i think it's from world of warcraft.
Its the worst one but its not terrible or mid its still pretty good
Well compared to the rest of the series its complete trash
“I will build a giant death trap”💀💀

NO! NO! HELP! HELP!!!!! GET ME OUT OF THIS MESS!!!!!!!!!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just like the length of the movie he reviews.
i only really ever saw the scenes with chameleon on yt because i was curious. and i also saw some tai lung..
from what i saw..
its dope! id gladly watch it!
sure some of the talking is abit shallow but no movie is perfect!
7/10!
and the po vs chameleon po fight scene gives me spiderverse vibes because of the colors and effects!
Yes ._.
Awkwafina is one of those actors I just wish would stop...
breathing.
Should have bin about po and tylung getting to know each other and tylung redeeming himself. finaly becoming the dragon warrior then forgiving shefu for his upbringing.
6 months later we get tylung spin off season
The dragon warrior successor does kind of make sense because, despite being young, he has essentially fulfilled the role where oogway is, shifu kind of being in a similar role as in the first movie, and no one as the “dragon warrior”
Although maybe someone already said this :P
"you can't see this coming" while I literarily predicted everything
