Amazing movie
Get this dvd because it is a beautifully rendered, dazzling piece of animation. The story is not particularly clever or interesting but so what? Jack Black is great and the movie is pure eye candy. Glenn

Kung Fu Panda Two - Pack (Kung Fu Panda Full Screen Edition + Secrets of the Furious Five Widescreen)

Furious Five only OK
The Furious Five disk was a bit of a letdown. Much of the animation in the featurette (not a full blown feature) was not the usual high quality animation. Flashbacks were told in a different style of animation. Just not up to expectations of the main movie. Also, even if you get the fullscreen version of Kung Fu Panda, it seems as though the Furious Five disk is in widescreen (at least mine ...

The Ultimate Sets are the way to go! Dump the Special Editions when you can!
After waiting for a very long time to acquire the Bond Ultimate Edition sets at a reasonable price, I finally ditched my Special Editions in favor of the new ones. I, perhaps like many others, was always reluctant to give up my Special Editions because frankly I spent a lot of time and money putting the original, Special Edition set together. After watching the Special Edition and Ultimate ...

DreamWorks delivers on family friendly animated feature
DreamWorks seems to have struck gold with this nice family friendly film. Top-notch animation, a humorous performance that isn't too silly and a great story about finding the Dragon Master from within shine through on the disc-based version of this film (at least it shines very nicely on the Blu-ray disc). As some have noted the Blu-ray package unfortunately doesn't include all of the ...

Classic Sci-Fi, So-So Transfer
If you like classic Sci-Fi, you will like this movie. Mutants, flying saucers, advanced technology - what else can you ask for? The only downside to this DVD is that the transfer is not superior to the videotape version.

FAST PACED FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY! BLACK IS PERFECT AS PO!
I have grown to love CGI when it is used in animated films. Kung Fu Panda is no exception. Jack Black seems to have found a perfect medium for his zany energy and style....he is perfectly cast as Po the Panda. The animation is superb in this martial arts based animated tale and the Asian setting is serene and beautiful. Kids and adults will enjoy this funny hip animated feature. The DVD has a ...

Fun & silly Kung Fu fantasy
Jackie Chan makes a great drunken mystic, and Jet Li is as good as ever in this very entertaining film. The setpieces are great and there are quite a few good laughs involved in this movie. It is aimed at kids, but it's still good fun and well worth watching.

My First Blu-ray - Thoughts from a former HD DVD person
This is my first Blu-Ray, and while my expectations were somewhat high, especially since I'm a former HD DVD exclusive consumer, they were completely met by this presentation. Granted, I'm already a big fan of this movie, which I consider to potentially be one of my favorites. Despite that, I had heard of the issues with the first round of this movie and I'm pleasantly reporting that the ...

A definate good choice
I saw the movie suggested on a Behavioral Health Site, to see what children actually do when they are in the city and don't have many activities to do for school, sports, etc. I took this movie as a way to see kids grow in there element. I would suggest this movie to anyone, it was a great movie. Yes it could be considered controversial, but I considered it a documentary that was a great A+ ...

Life altering film
I'm embarrassed to say that "Treasure of Sierra Madre" changed my life. I saw it as a child and was enchanted by three American ex-pats kicking around in Mexico and searching for Mexican treasure. By the age of 21 I was spending every other weekend in Baja and Sonora and did so for years. Since then, I've spent a lot more time there, bought a home in Jalisco and am, even now, living directly ...

A FASCINATING TAKE ON THE WESTERN TALE.
After all the westerns ever made, you'd think that they'd run out of good ideas after a while. But "Broken Trail" proves that there is still life, and fresh blood, to be seen in THE American film genre. The three-hour film finds an uncle and nephew running a herd of horses to Wyoming, and unexpectedly become guardians of five Oriental women meant to become prostitutes. The journey that they all ...

Seeing It Through Changing Generational Eyes
The very first time I saw this movie I was 17. My grandmother took me to see it. As a teenage girl I was an emotional wreck over the mother-daughter dilemmas presented by this film. I cried the whole way through. I was so glad my grandmother brought a box of tissues with her. I recently saw this movie again at 32 and felt engaged by it on a different level. Now understanding more the ...
