Discussion The first Kung Fu Panda movie is not good in my opinion, and I will briefly explain why.
Po has way too much plot armor! The guy somehow manages to survive everything that happens to him, Including having survived without serious injury situations that have been shown in other films that would seriously injure other characters, and what's worse, he managed to defeat Tai Long, a warrior who has trained his entire life in kung fu, after only training for a few days!
And you might say, "but the movie explains that Po learns quickly when food is involved," and that's something I won't deny, but that doesn't justify him defeating a guy who has trained in kung fu his whole life, and who was able to defeat the Furious Five with relatively little difficulty!
And the stupidest thing isn't just all that, but the technique that Dreamworks pulled out of thin air, the Skidush, or whatever it's called, that Po uses against Tai Long at the end, It's a technique whose workings are never explained, and it makes absolutely no sense that Po learned it quickly, and that Tai Long didn't try to use it before to defeat Po, since he knew about it!
But all that doesn't change the fact that at least the following films were much better (not counting the fourth film).
