Am i the only one who hates this movie?


Am I? I have searched far and wide and most people seem to like it, like it even more than part 1!
I LOVED part one, it is one of my favorite movies. I actually like every thing about it.
Compared to the first one this movies seems horrible, absolutely horrible!
On many occasions this movie basically spits in the face of the first one.

Let me retell you how this movie went for me:

Opening scenes with the new villain:
"Yeah i like this, it's dark just like the villein in the first movie."

Poo stuffing food in his mouth:
"Yeah..ha..ha, thats funny... he is fat and they are making a joke about him being so fat that he can stuff a lot of *beep* in his face...yeah i get it. Oh nice more action from the Fs5, they really came short in the first one hopefully this movie will give them more to do!"

Shifu is talking with Poo:
"Ah, yes i like shifu... hmmm oh that is cool with that water drop!
Hmm what is that? The moment Poo was chosen was the most terrible moment?
Hmmm WHAT THE *beep* IS GOING ON? I *beep* HATE THIS MOVIE!"

How can that moment be the worse moment in Shifu's live?
How about the moment when his former student turned crazy and destroyed the village...or how about that moment when his former student almost killed him.

It only got worse from there. Constant fat jokes(yes Poo is fat, that surved a VERY important point in the first movie, poo being fat made him immune to tailongs special attacks).
Than, constantly, self ware jokes that are so obvious that they almost break the 4th wall. These jokes are not funny because the situation is funny but because the characters in the movie force the jokes!

The characters all changed, i mean you could argue that Shifu didn't mean that choosing Poo was the worse moment of his life, but he NEVER acted this way in the first movie, which just go's to proof that this movie is horrible because:

It forces the majority of the jokes. The first one was cool because for an outside, (us , people watching) the stuff the characters did where funny but never because the characters acted funny on purpose. In this movie it seems like everybody is going out of there way to create funny moments.

I hate this movie and it's director and writer, i wanted this movie to be good.

Don't really hate it, but yes, it was quite dissappointing.

In 1st movie Shifu was really unhappy when Oogway chose Poo as a dragon warrior. He wanted him to get rid off but later he found out the problem was not with Poo but inside him, then he found his inner peace.

Yes, you are.

It was disappointing and I agree with you that the actions of PO felt forced and the joked were reused from the first movie. To me it wasn't better than the first and the new villain was awful imo, looked like something they made at the last hour. Also the background story felt so rushed that it didn't attached me emotionally.
