*no preview about the story here, so much of it in the net already; just plain general opinion:)
There's information that the original idea for a kung fu panda movie was meant to be a parody. Whoever decided that it would be great and so much better as an action-comedy animated film had, I believe, God's blessing. Because if it had been a parody, it would still make me laugh I guess, but I wouldn't love it as much as I do now. I love it so much because it's hilarious and so much more! Jack Black and the rest of the cast who lent their voices to the characters were just perfect; the beauty, the intricacy, and the accuracy of the details in the animation were excellent; and I just love it- the screenplay, the characters, the teamwork of Po and the Furious Five, the feet of fury, the wings of justice-the MOVIE (just to be done with it)- I love it..period...oh, I really really love it!!!!..double period...make that triple...which makes it an ellipsis...and which would stand for I love it, I love it, I love it, I love iiiiiiiiiiiiit!:)
my favorite poster- i love this scene in the movie as well:)
But what I really appreciate about it (i'm not yet done..haha) is the plot and the message it clearly delivers.The story's so well-written, it made me laugh and cry at the same time. It needed no effort to make its audience fidgety, challenged, or overly excited- it simply told a story- in the most awesome way possible!:) But seriously, kids are part of their big target audience so it's supposed to be simple. How they delivered it to be able to touch hearts- that's special.
I'm not a very credible movie critic because I have a bias for "kids movies", animated films, comedy, and those with animal and FAT characters in them. I don't watch horror movies because I don't enjoy the feeling they give me, but I take pride of myself and the God who always assures me of my safety, for not being scared of the dark, spirits, and the dead. I don't have the luxury of time nowadays so for planned movie dates, I only go for the 'feel good' ones. Boring, others might say, but for me it's about getting my money's worth, and getting more out of the experience of just plain 'watching a movie'. The movies I love are those that make me learn, and Kung Fu Panda (i'm so not yet done..haha) is a treasure box of values, stories, and jokes:) I also had to miss church worship practice for it (with Kuya Mark's consent) so it had to be epic...haha
Last Saturday's movie date was a treat from Ate, thanks a lot! Micah and I didn't spend a dime from the moment we went out of the house until we got back safely- it was all on Ate's tab, much to our added enjoyment. It was raining but I had the tickets reserved already via sureseats so we were determined to go. We weren't able to claim the tickets on time but thanks to Trinoma for the leeway! I didn't eat lunch so I was already feeling hungry even before the movie began. I started eating popcorn while still on the line and before all the ads and promotional teasers were done, we all finished the popcorn, free ice cream scoop and my jamaican patty..haha
The movie ended past 8pm I think, and I was feeling bloated this time for drinking much of the lemonade. We bought some stuff and paced around the mall undecided on where to eat until we landed in this japanese restaurant. It wasn't one of our best food escapades because we were too full to finish everything that we ordered. The food was good but I didn't like the sauces for the shrimp tempura and pork tonkatsu...buti na lang may chicken teriyaki. We ended up taking the leftovers home together with our mediocre kani salad. When we ate it at home together with my homemade mixture of soy sauce, vinegar, onions and sugar; andami kong nakain- I dunno if the problem was with their recipe, or with my jologs tastebuds...haha...I had a disappointing discovery though- I became poorer with chopsticks:(...I'm not good at it but I usually get by; but that night wasn't chopsticks night for me because they kept slipping from my fidgety fingers until I gave up and asked for a fork..haay
But no disappointment, especially a petty one, could ruin our night. It was Micah's first time to watch a movie at Trinoma and it's one of the precious times we share among us siblings that we truly treasure. I'm actually looking forward to our next eat-out already:) DreamWorks said that they're going to release a total of 6 movies for the Kung Fu Panda series so we have so much more to look forward to! Thank you again to Ate for sharing your blessings with us! Love you sizztahs! meow
