There are two main things that happen in this film. One is the return of Po's father. The other is the bull-like creature, Kai, swinging his luminous daggers around and stealing people's chi. In terms of storyline it's simple, but all over the place at the same time. Kai is on his way to steal the chi of Po and the others to become even more powerful than he already is. After Po is reunited with his father, it is made clear to him that that only a chi master can defeat Kai; so Po must journey to the secret panda village in order to master chi before Kai comes to get him. It turns out Pandas were historically chi masters Eventually Kai finds where Po is and there's a battle.
The reunion and father-son bonding scenes in the temple were actually quite nice (as was the jealousy of Po's stepfather, Mr Ping) and I wish there were more scenes like that because for the most part I found myself bored. One of the key draws for these films is that they're funny.
In terms of the new characters I kinda liked Kai, and actually possibly even wanted him to win, which is really bad. Some of the pandas in the secret village were good. When Po is talking to them he says things like 'you look like me, but a baby; you look like me but old; you look like me, but fatter' and so on, was funny. There was a glaring error at one point. When the village is under attack from Kai, Tigress runs to the secret panda village to get Po. But how did she find the panda village so easily? It was meant to be secret! Overall, It wasn't an awful movie, but it was not on par with the first two instalment.
