Just got back from both the shows. I have to say, it was a treat to watch both of them.
The first show we caught up with was The Hangover Part II. We missed the first 5 or 10 minutes since the ticket machine at the theater got borked, which was f*ckin' annoying, as we had booked the tickets online to avoid these delays. Any-hoo, the movie was freakin' hilarious. The start was filled with a bunch a lame jokes, but it picked up pace once their hangover wears off. Zach Galifianakis's goofy acting was hilarious, but the winner totally has to be Ken Jeong, for his over-the-top role as Chow. Helms and Cooper did a fine job too. I found the first movie to be good, but not extremely great. The sequel was far more enjoyable, since they were in Thailand and they have all sorts of weird encounters you can imagine. My recommendation is that you go out for this movie with a large group of friends, if possible. The fun of watching it with friends is just great.
Kung-Fu Panda 2. What Can I say, this movie was simply amazing. Great storyline, voice acting and most of all action. This movie had something special, which the first movie sort of lacked; the emotional touch. Panda 2 touched the hidden aspect of Po trying to uncover the mystery of his parents and thus trying to get in touch with his inner peace. The artwork was simply brilliant and the way they presented the intro sequence. Humour was great. Jack Black really nails his role as Po. I also have to mention James Hong's voice as Mr.Ping and his animated role as the Geese in the sequel movie was really heart-warming.
Forget whatever the reviews might have claimed, but both these movies were total blast. Have fun guys.
