After three death-defying adventures defeating world-class villains with his unmatched courage and mad martial arts skills, Po, the Dragon Warrior (Golden Globe nominee Jack Black), is called upon by destiny to... give it a rest already. More specifically, he's tapped to become the Spiritual Leader of the Valley of Peace. That poses a couple of obvious problems. First, Po knows as much about spiritual leadership as he does about the paleo diet, and second, he needs to quickly find and train a new Dragon Warrior before he can assume his new lofty position. Even worse, there's been a recent sighting of a wicked, powerful sorceress, Chameleon (Oscar® winner Viola Davis), a tiny lizard who can shapeshift into any creature, large or small. And Chameleon has her greedy, beady little eyes on Po's Staff of Wisdom, which would give her the power to re-summon all the master villains whom Po has vanquished to the spirit realm. So, Po’s going to need some help. He finds it (kinda?) in the form of crafty, quick-witted thief Zhen (Golden Globe winner Awkwafina), a corsac fox who really gets under Po’s fur but whose skills will prove invaluable. In their quest to protect the Valley of Peace from Chameleon’s reptilian claws, this comedic odd-couple duo will have to work together. In the process, Po will discover that heroes can be found in the most unexpected places.

Critics Consensus

Kung Fu Panda 4 offers enough eye-catching entertainment to sustain the franchise's young fans, although it's starting to feel like this series is running out of steam.

Audience Says

Kung Fu Panda 4 is fun for the whole family -- maybe not as much fun as the first three, but still a good time.

Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)

If the script was sharper or funnier and if the gags were better maybe you wouldn't notice, but it does feel like a lot of it is a bunch of people in recording booths doing some schtick and them animating around it.

Times (UK)

The plot may be cursory — Po has to graduate to spiritual leader of the Valley of Peace and find a successor for his job as dragon warrior — but Black attacks it with knockabout zeal.

Rated: 4/5

Irish Times

Caveats and niggles ultimately don’t dent the magnanimous-natured enjoyment. A lesser Kung Fu Panda movie remains vastly superior to most mainstream animated features.

Rated: 3/4

Koimoi

Kung Fu Panda 4 feels like treading water, a movie that should have dealt with serious subjects, considering the context of its premise and the audience that loves these films but chooses to aim only at very young kids.

Rated: 3/5

Stabroek News

<i>Kung Fu Panda 4</i> is occasionally diverting on its own, but it does little to truly excite or announce itself as essential viewing. It’s a disappointing turn for the franchise.

Metro Times (Detroit, MI)

After three Kung Fu Panda movies that gave us a decent mix of hilarity and pathos, however, this derivative, annoyingly predictable volume seems like a letdown.

Though I felt there were some little changes that could have been made the story was overall decent. Also the movie's pace felt rushed compared to the previous films. But other then that I thoroughly enjoyed seeing it and I urge fans of the franchise to check it out.

Good storytelling, exemplary animation and acting. Good mix of drama and comedy, with sight gags placed appropriately. Highly recommended.
