Did we need a fourth movie? Did we need a second or third? Why should that stop anyone?
Po hears that there's a new villain in town, or rather another town, so heads there with a new companion. After undergoing various "hilarious" adventures along the way, they eventually get to the actual plot, and there is a character moment, then another character moment, and then a fight scene.
This feels like a waste of a movie. The movie is already over half over before the actual plot starts. And the villain is very one note. The big twist/mental challenge Po faces is solved in the most obvious way, and... apparently the producers are planning another two movies. Perhaps the Furious Five might actually turn up, but the VOs aren't interested in being in this one.
Jack Black is just having fun, so not surprised he continues to turn up for these. Awkwafina is here as a comedy schtick, so being the same character she is in every other movie. Viola Davis get a chance to flex, but the movie doesn't really do much with her. I will always take a Ke Huy Quan voice and... Mr Beast was in this? Sigh...
Has this made its money back yet? It was one of the cheapest, so no doubt there will be more to come.
