More than that, it describes the exalted state inside him as he executes it. The word is \u201cskadoosh.\u201d Early on in \u201cKung Fu Panda 4,\u201d Po is in the middle of a combat training moment when he asks, \u201cWhere\u2019s the skadoosh?\u201d It\u2019s a meaningful question, because what he\u2019s really saying is: You can fight all you want, but without the <em>skadoosh<\/em>, what\u2019s the point?<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Watching \u201cKung Fu Panda 4,\u201d a sequel that\u2019s probably going to make a Zen temple full of money, I kept thinking back to that moment. This genial fourth-chapter action fairy tale has all the things it\u2019s supposed to have, at least according to the blockbuster animation playbook: Po kicking butt between daydreams of doughy cuisine; a quirky fighting sidekick \u2014 an androgynous-looking fox named Zhen, voiced by Awkwafina \u2014\u00a0who spends the film trading barbs with him; box-checking encounters with Po\u2019s parents, Li Shan (Bryan Cranston) and Mr. Ping (James Hong), as well as his training guru, the ancient curmudgeon Master Shifu (Dustin Hoffman); plus a supervillain who does all she can to take over the world. Yet as the movie unfolded, all I could think was, Where\u2019s the skadoosh?<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    When the original \u201cKung Fu Panda\u201d was released in 2008, it was built around a great joke: that Po, incarnated by Jack Black at his Jack Blackiest, was a lazy hipster goofball who just wanted to sit around \u2014 yet somehow, through intense training (and the pursuit of his love of dumplings), he became the unlikeliest of kung fu masters. Two sequels (one good, one okay) and three let\u2019s-milk-the-franchise animated <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TV series<\/a> later, Po is now an icon, a mascot, an action figure for every kid with the imagination of a superhero and the soul of a couch potato. But with all that overexposure, it isn\u2019t just the novelty that is now gone from Po\u2019s saga. So is the comic punch, the sense that he\u2019s on a journey that jolts him out of his torpor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    The journey \u201cKung Fu Panda 4\u201d places him on is retirement. As the film opens, he\u2019s trying to hawk his identity as the Dragon Warrior to open a tofu-and-noodle shop. This is a clear sign of decadence (almost a knowing metaphor for franchise cartoon burnout), which is why it seems fitting when Master Shifu informs him that it\u2019s time for Po to choose a successor \u2014 and for Po himself to become the spiritual leader of the Valley of Peace. But Po doesn\u2019t want to be yesterday\u2019s dumpling. He\u2019s holding as iron a grip on his role as Joe Biden.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Fate arrives in the form of the Chameleon, an empress sorceress who can shape-shift into anything she wants. You\u2019d think the movie would have a mad ball with this, but Mike Mitchell, who directed the inspired \u201cTrolls,\u201d works no such magic here. The Chameleon is cool to look at (a diminutive lizard in finery worthy of the Met Gala), and Viola Davis voices her with a dour aristocratic hauteur, but all the character does, really, is to call forth her guards and summon up past villains that Po has defeated. The movie gets too busy with generic bad guys. It\u2019s an onslaught of villainy without a <em>scheme<\/em>, or much of anything else to keep us invested.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Even after 16 years of Po, you want to hear Jack Black\u2019s voice charged with that youthful cockeyed exuberance, rather than the older-and-wiser aura he exudes here. You also wish the movie had better jokes. Mitchell, co-directing with Stephanie Stine, doesn\u2019t stage the action bouts with the surreal freedom that animation makes possible. Po goes through the motions, but I\u2019m sorry, the kick is gone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
