Possibly the funniest most fun filled animated movie ever made. (by aymanrizk) |
I really did not like the original that much; I thought it was about 20 minutes too long and a bit disgusting for the intended audience. But the sequel was brilliant, very funny and just a pure pleasure to watch.The DVD Canadian version if it is different was also well made and had a number of decent extra features. Even the starting menu is funny and a good introduction to the laughter that follows.The songs chosen for the different scenes matched the purpose and the flow of the scene and tremendously enhanced the viewer's experience. And the animation was very realistic. Well done <more> |
Good Movie (by jts0405) |
I thought this movie would be worse than the first Shrek but it actually turned out to be really good. This is a tale of love and comedy. Mike Myers and Eddie Murphy star in this sequel. John Cleese and Julie Andrews are the parents of princess Fiona in this movie and I have to say they play that part well. They are perfect for each other. If you see Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, and John Cleese were all raw comedians before and now they are in children movies and John Cleese works for the humor department on TBS. This movie is worth the money and worth your time if you are a Shrek fan or a Eddie <more> |
Are you serious? I thought Shrek 2 was so much better than the first! (by Smells_Like_Cheese) |
As much as I enjoyed the first Shrek, I honestly almost died laughing and loving Shrek 2. The first Shrek was sweet and innocent, but the second took us to a different edge with terrific animation and just drop on the floor laughable jokes. Antonio Bandares as the cat was just such a great addition to the cast, he just killed me! I don't understand why Shrek 2 wasn't on the top 250, how could someone not enjoy this Shrek? Shrek and Fiona are now married and happy ogres, that is until Fiona's parents wish to see her and her new hubby. Fiona was supposed to marry Prince Charming, <more> |
Why I Liked 'Shrek 2' Better (by ccthemovieman-1) |
I much preferred this sequel, even though I also liked the original, too, as millions of other viewers - kids and adults - did. This second edition, to me, was better than the first one for the following reasons:1 - A faster-paced story; 2 - Better colors, just gorgeous with a 3-D effect in spots; 3 - another great combination of humor, adventure and romance; 4 - no one segment of the story overstayed its welcome; 5 - Eddie Murphy's character wasn't played up as much, meaning less abrasive shouting in this film; 6 - a genuine touching ending which left the viewer very satisfied.Some <more> |
More Shrekervescence! (by dfranzen70) |
I know what you're expecting me to say. "If you liked Shrek ..." And it's so true. Fans of the first will be ga-ga over the second. The gang at Dreamworks was smart enough not to monkey around with a winning formula, so you have all the wit and charm of Shrek Mike Myers , Fiona Cameron Diaz , Donkey Eddie Murphy , and all the fantastic fairy-tale creatures.At the beginning of 2, Shrek and Fiona have been invited by Fiona's parents John Cleese and Julie Andrews to the family castle. Imagine their surprise when the honeymooning ogres show up! Seems the king and queen <more> |
This second movie is very GOOD (by Lady_Targaryen) |
I imagined this film to be a crap, because it is almost a rule with few exceptions,that second movies are always terrible in comparison with the first ones. But not this one. I cannot say that I liked Shrek2 more then the first, but the second one is very good too: New characters as the Fairy Godmother,Prince Charming,Puss In Boots and Fiona's parents are introduced to us, and a new reality comes, with Shrek and Fiona's relationship going to a deeper step,and new confusions because of their wedding.One of the good surprises, was that neither Shrek or Fiona changed to the human form;I <more> |
Wonderful solid fun (by jomipira) |
Ok, I have to admit that the surprise is gone. The original Shrek was irreverent and made fun of all the children stories known to man... The second one is on the same line but by now you expect it. Still it's been a long time since I've seen an entire theater laugh from the start till the end of a movie. Wonderful new characters you have to love the pussy in boots , superb animation and a all-round well made movie for everyone to enjoy. But please, whatever you do DO NOT read any comments like this one before you go see the movie, it can ruin it for you... And watch the credits <more> |
Transcending the Genre (by rserrano) |
In many ways, Shrek 2 is to fairy tales, what Kill Bill:Vol.2 is to the Kung Fu genre. Although these are very different movies, both spoof all previous movies of their type and are loaded with insider allusions just look at the length of the IMDb trivia sections for each! . Both use latest technology to create a hyper-real quality which goes beyond their forerunners to create a feel that the viewer is seeing something that has not been seen before. But each also stays true to their genres' formula conventions of character and plot that, though seemingly worn out, we still love. As a <more> |
worst animated film ever made (by stickman-0) |
this is by far the most f'ed up movie i've ever seen... what entertainment can you get from: hey! it's the godmothers factory! why don't we go in for a spell? what kind of a joke is that whoever watches this movie has problems... I loved Shrek 1 and i'm sure everyone did... this movie is a disgrace to humanity and mike myers. whoever made this movie is someone that is a shoo-in for pictures to go on my dartboard 2/10 2 for the animation being good and whoever that hates the movie had better have msn... this movie sucks... even if they DID take 4 years to make the damn <more> |
