Kung Fu Panda 2

Finally, I got the change to go out with Celine. While waiting for Celine, I brought the tickets and I think I saw Lee Au Nan (a guy from the camp '1 Malaysia') I don't think he remember me as I had change a lot, I kept on staring at him but I guess he didn't realize.
After buying the tickets, we went to KFC to wait for Celine. She arrived a little late. Then, we went to Pizza Hut for pizzas (of course). The show starts at 1:40pm and still the pizza wasn't here yet. So, we told the waiter to 'take away'.
We went into the theater just on time. While the lights were still on, I saw Lee Au Nan again. He walked pass my seat. I didn't aspect him to be watching the same movie on the same time in the row. Oh well.. though I knew it was him, I didn't call him. It'll be awkward if he asked :" Do I know you?" So, never mind about that, it doesn't matter anyway.
We had a pizzas in the theater before the movie starts. Yumm.. It's was my first time eating pizza in the theater. We hid the pizzas in Celine's bag (crazy idea, isn't it?) when passing the ticket checker.
A few minutes later, the show begun..
(if you would have the nerve to read this plot where I found it on Wikipedia, go on..tee-hee)
Long ago, Lord Shen (Gary Oldman), heir of the peacock clan that ruled Gongmen City in China, sought to harness the power of fireworks as a weapon with which to rule the entire country. When he learned from the court's goat soothsayer (Michelle Yeoh) that "a warrior of black and white" would one day defeat him, Shen assumed she was referring to the giant pandas and had them exterminated to avert the prophecy. Shen's parents were horrified at this atrocity and exiled Shen, who swore revenge.
Years later, Po (Jack Black) is living his dream as the Dragon Warrior, protecting the Valley of Peace alongside his friends and fellow kung fu masters, the Furious Five, but is told by Master Shifu (Dustin Hoffman) that he has yet to achieve inner peace. While fighting off a pack of wolf bandits who have been stealing refined metal for Lord Shen, Po is distracted by a symbol on the head wolf's (Danny McBride) armor, which causes Po to have a flashback of his mother and allows the wolves to escape. Po asks his goose father, Mr. Ping (James Hong), where he came from, but all Ping can tell him is that he found Po as an infant in a radish crate and adopted him.
Afterward, Shifu receives word that Master Thundering Rhino (Victor Garber), leader of the kung fu council protecting Gongmen City, has been killed by Lord Shen with his newly developed weapon, a cannon, with which he intends to destroy kung fu tradition and conquer China. Po and the Five go to stop him, reaching Gongmen City to find it under the control of Shen's forces. The heroes find two imprisoned council members, Masters Storming Ox (Dennis Haysbert) and Croc (Jean-Claude Van Damme), and ask their help to liberate the city, but both masters cite their helplessness against Shen's weapon and refuse to escape. Po and the Five are then discovered by the wolf leader, who they chase to prevent him from alerting Shen, only to be captured.
Upon being brought before Shen in his tower, Po and the Five free themselves and destroy Shen's cannon. However, Po is again distracted by a flashback upon seeing the same symbol as before on Shen's plumage, allowing Shen to escape and destroy the tower with an arsenal of cannons. After escaping, Tigress (Angelina Jolie) confronts Po over his distraction. Po explains that he remembers Shen's presence on the night he was separated from his parents, and wants to question Shen about his past. Though empathetic, Tigress orders him to stay behind for his own safety.
Regardless, Po breaks into Shen's cannon factory to confront Shen, inadvertently foiling the Five's attempts to destroy the factory. Shen claims that Po's parents abandoned him before he blasts Po out of the factory and captures the Five. Po is rescued by Shen's soothsayer, who has been exiled by Shen to the ruined village where Po was born. Guided by the Soothsayer to embrace his past, Po remembers that his parents had sacrificed themselves to save him from Shen's forces, his mother hiding him in a crate before being subdued. Realizing that he had lived a happy and fulfilling life despite this tragedy, Po attains inner peace.
Po returns to Gongmen City to save the captive Five and prevent Shen's conquest of China. During the ensuing battle (in which Ox and Croc participate after being persuaded by Shifu), Po uses his inner peace to enable a kung fu technique that redirects Shen's cannon fire against his own armada and destroy it. Po then urges Shen to let go of his own past, but Shen refuses and attacks Po until Shen inadvertently slashes the ropes holding up his last cannon, which falls and crushes him to death. Once again Po brought peace to the valley and to Shifu. Victorious, Po returns to the Valley of Peace and reunites with Mr. Ping, lovingly declaring him to be his father. At the same time, Po's biological father (Fred Tatasciore is shown to be living in a far-off hidden village inhabited by surviving pandas, and senses that his son is alive.
Isnt he just CUTE? Awww...




It's an awesome movie. I just felt in love with baby Po. He's so adorable and he's so innocent and naive.
I guarantee you'll enjoy this movie. My mom watched it too and she enjoyed it a lot.
I had a fun time spending with Celine, a 'bestie' of mine
