I saw that one too, I really did not like it...

1/10 for the zohan

12/10 for kung fu panda.

I liked Zohan :( First one of Sandler's I've liked in a while. I plan on seeing Kung Fu Panda as well and expect to be impressed.

Seriously, I expected Kung Fu Panda to suck. It's good to hear that it was funny. If Jack Black is in it, there's a 75%ish chance that the movie will suck. Maybe it's because he's just a voice actor? Hmmm...

I found it to be only Ok, which is more than I thought it would be.

My son and I caught it Friday. We laughed out loud quite a few times.

Now my son keeps trying the wuxi finger hold on me.

This movie is phenomenal. If you watch it closely, there are many true to life lessons in there. Top notch animation too. They've really nailed down the Kung Fu of Pop cinema. J Chan would be Proud.

BTW,, does anyone know wth the Wuxi Finger Hold is? Or is it just made up?

At first I have reservation about this movie, but then watched it and very glad that I did. It's one of the funniest movie I've seen lately.

The first clip, I though "wow, animation has come a LONG way, its pretty amazin how good it looks, visually"...dreamworks and pixar are two quality 'shops'.

I saw the move yesterday, and it was excellent. The animation was very solid. The movie had great parts to it. Made me laugh quite a few times.

Jackie was in the movie. He was the monkey.

I'm a fan of Pixar and have enjoyed all of their films. Except for the original Shrek, I didn't think any of DreamWorks Animation's films were nearly as good as what Pixar churns out. I didn't have high expectations for Kung Fu Panda, but I was surprised. It was thoroughly enjoyable and though the tone was different than the rated G Pixar stuff, it was completely on par with Pixar on visuals and entertainment value.

My best friend had a significant role in Kung Fu Panda. He's a character animator at Dreamworks. The majority of the ending sequence (after the credits roll) were done by him.
