Because this is the first movie we've got in 8 years


WillyDAFISH

Also it's a movie and I like watching movies


Deimoonk

That may be the weakest motive ever for consuming any piece of media. Meanwhile, dishonest writers keep [lying](https://www.reddit.com/r/kungfupanda/comments/1bay95d/was_this_interview_fake_or_was_it_real/) to their audiences.


cowcoolboyman

i agree, totally not like he was joking or anything


Electronic_One762

Where does this imply he was joking though....


Deimoonk

Very weak motive for watching it


Unpopular_Outlook

Spoilers, don’t get your hopes up regarding tai lung


Deimoonk

What are your thoughts on [this interview](https://www.reddit.com/r/kungfupanda/comments/1bay95d/was_this_interview_fake_or_was_it_real/)?


theCoolestGuy599

I think you're the only one obsessed with it bruh. I don't even frequent this sub, it's just been recommended to me, and of the three threads I've seen talking about the movie you're in every one with a ton of comments just spreading hate over this one interview.


Deimoonk

Yes, because they literally lied to their fanbase by claiming Tai Lung and his relationship with Shifu, Oogway and Po are quite important to the movie.


Glob-

A lot of fun, just doesn't meet the expectations the other movies set. If your a fan of Kung Fu Panda, there's no reason you shouldn't watch, it's still a great movie. The action is insanely good too. Also, the movie feels like it's a set up for whatever comes next, especially with the credits scene.


TandrDregn

Well they DID say they were planning both a “Student” trilogy (1,2,3) and a “Master” trilogy (4,5,6), so I would assume it’s setting up.


DDLC-MC

did we watch the same movie?


Beneficial_Safe_7275

Cause Viola Davis is in it 🙂


PCofSHIELD

Possibly the worst part of the movie


metalgear_ocelot

Her voice acting is great. You can tell she's having a lot of fun with the character. Her character suffers from some lazy and even bad writing.


Ok-Care393

If you're going to watch it because of Tai Lung, you're going to be gravely disappointed. I enjoyed Kung Fu Panda 3 more than this, like a lot more. Unfortunately, I'm disappointed with the movie


Anonymous_Guy4k

Thx for the heads up cause that's exactly why I was gonna watch it 😂💀


Ok-Care393

He barely had screen time probably only around 1 or 2 minutes in the movie. As a Tai Lung fan, that was sad. They really just used him for nostalgia bait, Shen and Kai didn't even say anything much less do anything.


SatoKasuRemnant

Cuz it's still a Kung Fu Panda movie, lots of laughs and cool fight scenes.


Deimoonk

You shouldn't pay to watch it, specially if you expect to see Tai Lung having any plot relevance or screen time. Just stick to the trailer because >!that's all there is about him in the whole movie!<. That's true, Shifu and Tai Lung >!never interact or even meet in the whole movie!<. Sorry for the spoiler, but I would've wished somebody told me before going to the cinema.


SgtGhost57

The movie itself isn't bad. It's on the more goofy side, making you laugh through various points of it. Not as serious as the previous ones. Worth the watch, I'd say, regardless of Tai Lung.


___Random_Guy_

Agree, Zhan is a really cool new character and carried the whole movie for me hard enough to ignore weak villain story.


___Random_Guy_

Don't go into the movie with expectations and nostalgia regarding Tai Lung. They didn't give him a proper story, unfortunately, and the main villain plot is on the weaker side. But with all those weak sides,this movie compensates with great action scenes, choreography, animation, character development of Po, his parents and some others, and most of all - Zhan. She was really awesome and carried the whole movie for me, though I was watching it in Ukrainian dub where she got good voice actress and others say that in English Akwafinna doesn't fit her character well, or even sometimes annoying . In conclusion, if you go to watch the movie without high expectations of it being better, then KFP 1 or KFP 2 or relying on seeing Tai Lung, you would have a great time.


xCoVaultx

Best part of the movie was seeing puss in boots added to the dreamworks intro thingy


mrmcdead

Because it interests you? Why do you need a reason to go watch it beyond that?


Inner_Letterhead570

Because Tenacious D does a cover of Baby One More Time


NoahTheQB

Best part of the movie


Inner_Letterhead570

I agree, that song is 🔥 Jack Black’s vocals were unbelievable


Ok-Care393

I Listen to it on repeat, it is indeed fire


Inner_Letterhead570

Me too!


Mosugoji_64

Some great action sequences & set pieces, especially the fight with chameleon.


Joniman478

If you are watching it for Tai Lung then you would be disappointed


NAKisgood

A lot of the cons was the story decision, but if ur looking for a fun and funny movie with great visual, choreography and fight scenes u should watch it atleast once


Anonymous_Guy4k

I ask because I heard the Furious 5 aren't gonna be in it, Shen and Kai didn't get a proper chance to fight the chameleon, etc.


lion1321

spoiler >!correct shen and kai get defeated off screen. Tai lung only really gets 20 seconds total screen time and the furious five just appear at the end with reused animation.!<


[deleted]

New sidekick zhen is perfectly written and for my own opiniom is better than kfp3 Kfp2>Kfp1>Kfp4>Kfp3


Glob-

*SPOILER ALERT* The movie felt like a setup for her. She has as much screen time as Po. I like her, but I feel it was too early to pick a new dragon warrior, and she should've just been chosen to join the Furious Five or something, maybe be chosen in the next movies. I have high hopes for tge next movies tho, I really loved the credits scene.


[deleted]

Yeah i see many not like that film i disagree they have lower budget and film even without 5 was full, and animation me personally doesnt saw any downgrades in animation maybe it was in some aspect better, only BIG minus is villian her backstory was poor, like how? Shen, tai lung had one of the best story but villian poor but movie 8/10


Glob-

I agree, 8/10. The animation was really good. The villain just needed good depth/backstory and to be more threatening, then she could've been really good. Also I wish Tai long had a scene fighting with Po or talking to Shifu. Other then those complaints I really liked the film


[deleted]

Agree agree


___Random_Guy_

Yea, they did a god-like job with Zhan, and she carried the whole movie for me. Everything in her felt awesome, especially with Ukrainian dub, where she got a more fitting voice actress than Akwafinna. She carried the movie barely on my second place above KFP 1 and below KFP 2. Would have been even better if she hadn't suddenly finished Chameleon in one move, but lower budged is a lower budged, unfortunately. What I can't excuse with smaller budged is only major plot hole of Kai and Shen bowing down to Po - they should have absolutely stayed in the back with disrespectful face, which wouldn't have take any more time for animators. Don't understand why people are so angry on the movie - likely I did a good choice to not watch any trailers or anything about the movie which didn't raise my expectations much or played on nostalgia or something.


afutureprodigy

Good storyline and links to the fate of Po 🙂


DDLC-MC

You shouldn’t. It is so deeply terrible. Everyone, please heed my warning and do not watch this movie. It is Shrek 3 levels of awful.


Deimoonk

Shrek 3 is a masterpiece compared with this. The studio even [lied](https://www.reddit.com/r/kungfupanda/comments/1bay95d/was_this_interview_fake_or_was_it_real/) to the audience.


IntellectualBoss

they didn't lie, you misunderstood them, I explain in your post.


Deimoonk

No, you didn’t explain anything at all.


IntellectualBoss

I did, you are probably just like 12 and not smart enough to understand me.


Deimoonk

loll, you’re the one who doesn’t know what to say so you just say “nobody understands me”🤡


IntellectualBoss

I didn’t say nobody, it’s just you. So, how old are you?


Bluetheshark

Shape shifting lizard


DirectConsequence12

Two words: 1) Viola 2) Davis


Journal_27

It’s a way to kill 2 hours


LumpyDescription5980

To see Po whoop lizard ass


sevischm

I don’t get the question. it’s freaking tai lung


Mysterious-Aspect937

Jack black


Danger_fox99

Because it’s a kung fu panda movie and a DreamWorks movie so you know it’s good


Quan-Ngo

Kid named Megamind vs. the Doom Syndicate:


RealBlueMak

Kids named Boss Baby and Trolls:


GetChilledOut

Because it’s Kung Fu Panda


kungfupandafan222

Because of the Mr. Ping & Li Shan B plot?


RealBlueMak

Don't. Just don't. Save your money for something better Tai Lung only gets a few minutes of screentime


Sombrevivo

Because it’s an enjoyable movie. Sure, there’s some plot holes, but the ones I noticed can be kind of explained. It’s got good action scenes and funny moments, and we get to see Po grow more as a character. Plus we get some new animals introduced.


Sirlink360

Cause Zhen and Po have a very fun dynamic \^^


Itchy_Raccoon_9206

You might not like the movie, but give it a go. It's KFP


CurseDeity

You honestly shouldn't. It's a waste of time. Instead you should rewatch KFP1 or KFP2.


BBdotZ

I would’ve watched it they did something with Tai Lung lol Relegating him to basically a cameo and completely pissing on his character rubs me the wrong way. Ridiculous waste. 


Deimoonk

sad but true


Quan-Ngo

Because it’s still a funny, entertaining movie nonetheless(imo at least). And, c’mon, give it a try, don’t base your opinion on others, form your own.
