Warning: Spoilers
Aside from decent graphics, this "movie" is nothing more than a recycled, old, stale storyline. It is the same story as "Finding Nemo" and every other "oh my son" flick made in the last fifty years. Father loses boy, boy finds father. Journey in between with perils, hazards, and a strong woman to play off of. In this one though, there are ridiculous fight scenes reminiscent of 1970's martial arts films that ripped off Bruce Lee (this is how, of course we get Kung Fu).

The tigress was, I admit, kind of cool. Wonderful eyes.

The plot centers around "Chi," which literally translates from Chinese to English as "breath", "air", or "gas." With Kung Fu Panda 3, only the "gas" translated. I, personally, have never understood the "oh, my son" storyline and I, for one, am tired of seeing it. DreamWorks needs to take Disney's lead...understand when a story has been told and doesn't need to be told again. It was kind of funny though...every time I heard the line "I have the power," I was hoping that He-Man or She-Ra would show up and save the movie. Wait until this comes one out on network TV, to let the kids see it. It is not worth even discounted admission.
