Poster Rating: C; C+

Review: Seeming to more equate this with an old world Asian style than specifically Chinese, the poster’s makers are hoping that a combination of a panda, Jack Black’s name and the title will draw audiences in. Although the poster is otherwise bland, it will at least help in advertising the film.

There’s just a little more to this poster than the Jack Black original. This one features all of the Kung Fu Kritters. Sadly, that’s about all that it adds. THe rest seems secondary to the foreground image, which seems third-rate at the most.

Trailer Rating: C+

Review: Dreamworks’ ability to create compelling narrative is terrible. The trailer shows that as Jack Black’s deadpan delivery and only two focal points of humor, the film may not consist of very much. Of course this is just a teaser, so the next trailer will probably be inundated with all the humor in the film so you’re left with very little to enjoy when watching it.

Oscar Prospects:

Depending on its success and the success of other animated films this year, Kung Fu Panda will either make a bid for a Best Animated Feature nomination or fail miserably.

Release Date:

June 6, 2008

Synopsis:

Despite the traditional animation platitudes, the film is entertaining and well voiced.
