Angelina Jolie's bad performance

The only thing I DIDN'T like about this film was Angelina Jolie's voice as Tigress. I mean, I know that she's supposed to be all brooding and stuff, but come on, she's like that in every scene!

For example, there's a scene where Po is going towards some fiery thing, i.e. Po is in mortal danger - with only seconds between him and death.
And what does Tigress say? ''Po, watch out...'' in the most boring, souless voice ever.
Instead of: ''POOO! WATCH OUT!'' we get a lifeless performance...

Still, it didn't ruin the film for me - it is great, with the highlight being Gary Oldman's villain - his voice is great! I love it when a famous actor disguises his voice, i.e. NOT plays himself.

Agreed, her voice was rather flat. I like Kari Wahlgren's voice better.

I absolutely agree 100%. I feel she was terribly miscast. Her voice doesn't fit and her acting isn't even that good. I was shocked how poor her performance was in this movie. It was like she was just reading the lines.

THANK YOU! Couldn't agree more. Some of her responses sound so phoned in.
Gary Oldman's performance was worth the price of admission alone.

That's the opposite of how I see it.
She's a true warrior, she does not feel emotions.. and so you don't hear much in her voice.
The other 4 feel many more emotions, but in the 1st movie Tigress was the one expecting to be named the Dragon warrior, not the others...
Again a true warrior vs skilled non-warrior people.
