Great movie. Much better than that overhyped piece of c**p Wall-E.

why does everyone hte wall-e.  it was a great movie.  i enjoyed kung fu panda as well but come on  its a kids movie that has barely any talking in it

furious five movie huh?  is that a full length movie or just some short 20-30 min thing?  first time i hear about it and more importantly, will it be included on the blu-ray version?  

but yeah it was a great movie, didnt think i'd like it that much and now we all know what jack would be like as a panda, the world can sleep sound.

are they going to make 2 separate dvds for the movie and the secrets of furious five with their own separate dvd cases?

A truly stupid movie and total waste of time & money......definitely won't be picking this piece of c**p up.

then why bother posting here at all if you didnt like?

Because the commenting section isn't solely for those who liked it. Why bother posting here at all if you don't get that?

Wow. This? Better than WALL-E?

Now, I can't even begin to fathom how one comes up with that opinion.

Am I the only one who thought that, despite some solid animation and a couple neat preformances (mostly Ian McShane), this was a by-the-numbers borefest?

Flat, un-interesting, and offering absolutely nothing innovative, fresh, or worthwhile - Kung Fu Panda had me checking my watch every five minutes and praying fervently that I wouldn't have to listen to one more blandishment about believing in yourself.

WALL-E, on the other hand, is wildly original, deeply moving, perfectly crafted, and endlessly entertaining. Loved it. My #2 favorite film of the year.

Really, if you prefer something this blandly average to something like WALL-E, then I don't care to know you.

i'll be the big boy here and let it go here before it turns into AICN...not that it wasnt fun but yeah.  

so why do people compare this to wall-e anyway? aside from being animated, they have nothing in common. it must be that whole dreamworks vs. pixar thing the internet seems to have created.  lol

that should be Blu-Ray's new tagline.

DreamWorks also had a superhero-family movie they canned, clearly because that was too blatant.

I loved Wall-E and liked some of this. I liked Jack Black's reverence of the kung-fu arts, and the visuals were stunning throughout. But as others have said, the story is so dully conventional that I couldn't get into it. And the all-star voice cast is ridiculously underused (Hoffman has a real role, but McShane is like a supporting character, and then Jolie has 20 lines, David Cross 15, Seth Rogen 10, Lucy Liu 5 and Jackie Chan barely even two lines in the entire picture). Hopefully they'll be put to better use in this DTV prequel, or whatever it is.

I liked it, but that's because I can't hate anything with good ol Jack Black in it. Plus, I loved the opening animation. The CG throughout the film was good too. Blu-Ray for me :D

Loved it

But i think Wall E is better

This was an all-around enjoyable, funny and entertaining movie that had a really nice style to it and some good action scenes.  I really like the coverart and I am intrigued by the Secrets of the Furious Five DVD.  Will definitely be buying it.

PS- While this was a solid fun and simple movie, WALL-E is way superior.

I enjoyed Kung-Fu Panda AND WALL-E. Other than the fact that they're both kids movies, they're really quite different in terms of the tone and story. Therefore I find it's hard to compare them to one another. And let's face it, if you don't have kids, its more difficult to appreciate kids movies.

What's The Secrets of the Furious Five all about?
