[A] satisfying, if less than sensational, sequel to the funny, charming and action-packed animated feature from 2008.
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post

A solid slice of summer entertainment: forgettable, perhaps, but plenty of fun while it lasts.
Tom Huddleston, Time Out

Hardly a scene goes by that isn't visually striking or kinetically thrilling, and all of it enhanced by 3-D.
Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal

Po and friends redeem themselves with a terrific third act, the animation (in three distinct styles) is superb and there's enough hiii-YA-ing to keep the kids yipping throughout.
Kyle Smith, New York Post
