I personally think this movie is fine but could have been better. They always planned on making six movies and so this was not necessarily a cash grab. However, it does feel like it was made by committee and as a product rather than someone who had vison for how to continue the story, and when you read about the productions issues this had and the ideas they were going to do, you can see how that is the case .
Also, people's dislike comes from: the five not being there, the villain could have had a better motive or backstory, the past villains like Shen and Kai bowing to Po at the end felt a little out of character (especially since they couldn't give them lines), and having more emphasis on the silly comedy and getting away from the dark or dramatic storytelling that made first two film work so well .
Again I think this film is decent with plenty of fun moments, creative visuals and fight scenes, and all the jokes for the most part work, but it clearly had the potential to be even better than that with it's story. So I hope the 5th one turns it around .

Something I couldn't help but notice in this movie was how much Po held back. Like Goku levels of holding back. He could have easily floored Tia Lung in their first encounter, but he was clearly much more focused on protecting the artifacts and didn't seriously want to hurt her. That's why Tia Lung made the comment after their fight about him not seeming like a master. She had the expectations of a Master being merciless and ruthless. She quite literally mistook Po's kindness for weakness. It was same when Po was fighting the Emperess. He clearly could have beaten her at any point. She was throwing styles against Po that he had already beaten and was easily able to defend against all of Emperess' attacks. Literally he was calling out all of her attacks with more amusement than fear. He even admits having held back in order to give Tia a chance at it.
I just thought that was an interesting characterization of Po, and interesting at how powerful he probably actually is if he didn't really take this whole thing that seriously.

Why are you referring to Zhen as "Tia Lung"

The negativity was due to the potential of the film that was cut, when the film's driven plot was about rescuing Shifu, where it would have time with Shifu and Tia Lung making amends. The film would have drawn parallels with Po taking in someone to become a kung fu master like Shifu did with Tia Lung, where Shifu warns Po not to make the same mistakes he did. By the end, both Po and Shifu would have resolved their problems by learning from each other

It helps watching things with you guys since you always have an upbeat and positive energy! :D
That said, I would be down to watch reactions to the 2D animated DW movies: Prince of Egypt, Sinbad, Road to El Dorado, and Spirit. (I never saw Joseph, so IDK if that one is a good rec or not?)

It's not bad but something I noticed was the movie has little to no downtime it's talking to action to talking to action with no time to stop with no speaking like for example in the second movie when po is learning about his past or the first movie where he is learning Kung Fu. It feels rushed.

Really great movie. The reaction was awesome. I had a great time. Kind of curious why the chameleon stated that one of the reasons she ended up becoming the way she was, was because she was turned down at all the Kung Fu schools because she was too small. Yet, there's a Praying Mantis that is one of the Masters, and a squirrel too.

Setting aside the pros and cons of Kung Fu Panda 4 specifically, I think that people were going into this movie expecting to be disappointed because like Toy Story 4, it’s the continuation of a series that had a satisfying conclusion. Expanding on a franchise that reached the end of its most important story arc isn’t innately a bad thing. It’d just be far more interesting if they came at it at a different angle like how The Last Airbender became Legend of Korra instead of Last Airbender 2. When studios give us the illusion of closure only to pick it back up and go, it gets old. It’s kinda like when Forest Gump is on the football team, he runs, scores a touch down, then keeps going until he just leaves the field entirely. A 4th installment of Kung Fu Panda should’ve been about more than just Po’s journey. I’d watch the hell out of a Furious Five movie.

Favorite DreamWorks movie you guys haven't watched is Road to El Dorado. You guys would LOVE it. You would likely also like Sinbad by DreamWorks.

I don't get the Awkwafina hate personally. I have enjoyed her in everything I've seen her in. Boom, I think you were thinking of 'Raya and the Last Dragon' that she starred in perhaps? I personally liked the movie, but I know others had their problems with it. ?♀️
Anyhoo, LOVED watching this with you guys. I agree with you all, it was super fun.
