Zero to Hero

 One of my favorite animated movies is Kung Fu Panda, and I figured it would be really cool to see what other people had to say about it.  After searching I found a good article that analyzed the movie. The author analizes the film to help us as an audience to know what makes this movie good from the different type of animation the producers used and the use of the common zero to hero plot that is present in many movies. I think it could have been better if he would have established some ethos. For all we know it could be a teenager who really knows how to do research. Other than that I feel like he did a good job.

I have never watched kungfu panda but it sounds like from your comment that it is actually a good movie. A lot of people have told me it is terrible, but from you i think that i will watch it.

dude I love that movie! I think I would like any review that had anything positive to say about it! That's good that the author gave concrete reasons as to why the movie was good. That really compels people to get out and see for themselves.

Kung Fu Panda is tight, I loved it! It is true that one good review can really sway a person's decision whether or not to watch it.

You're right Jake and that is why sometimes I wait until after I've seen the movie to look at the review. There have been a couple of times where I wanted to go see a movie so I read the review, but the author says it's a horrible movie so I end up not watching it, until several of my friends have told me that it was a good movie.

I also really like that movie. I also think that knowing about who is reviewing the movie makes a big difference. Generally older people have different views on good movies than people in college so sometimes they can give a bad review to a movie you love.

I saw that movie seven times while it was in theaters so I guess it's safe to say that this is one of my all time favorites. That being said, I think the author of the article could have maybe explained a little bit more on why this movie is so great.
