We are talking about an animated series of films that has never disappointed the public, on the contrary, the more the sequels went on, the more memorable the enemies became and the in-depth analysis of the characters was truly and effectively explored. In short we can say that I personally find the first 3 chapters to be masterpieces despite their strengths and weaknesses and I admit that when they announced a "Kung Fu Panda 4" I was in ecstasy and when I saw the very first trailer with the return of the main enemies from the first film I was literally exploded with joy but above all with curiosity. Now I've just finished watching it and I have to say that I wasn't disappointed but at the same time I don't consider it to be up to par with the other chapters as it's missing some things that characterized and differentiated "Kung Fu Panda" from other cartoons. First of all, I'll start by saying that the plot is very simple and some twists are quite obvious, the villain is very handsome and very cool but at the same time they don't give him much space to try to characterize him a little more. In fact, one of the problems (absurdly) is the lack of characterization of the villain who, despite potentially being the most dangerous of all, ultimately makes him look like a normal level enemy. At the end of watching the film I asked myself: "Is the plan of this film to close the circle of the series?", and actually there is no answer as even the ending, if desired, could close the whole circle but at the same time time could open up ideas for spin-offs. In my opinion a closure with this chapter could be right and well managed as he finds himself faced with all his most fearsome enemies but I fear that they also have other plans in mind and I admit that it scares me a little because already with this film you see that the quality has dropped slightly and I'm afraid that the further we go the worse it will be. In conclusion I can say that it is an excellent film for children but impossible to compare to previous masterpieces.
