Shrek 2

Pros: Fun, Silly, Terrific Movie, Great Annimation
Cons: I didn't like the big gingerbread man...Mongo

One of the things about your children growing up is that you no longer have the excuse to play with toys or to see movies that are geared toward children. Well I had decided that even if I couldn’t round up a grandchild to take to the movies, I would ...

Pros: Funny as hell
Cons: Not a damn thing

For those who've not seen the original Shrek, this will contain some spoilers so like, go buy that one first. heh. So in the first Shrek we had Ogre and Donkey rescuing the fair Princess Fiona from the tower guarded by Dragon. ...

Pros: Humor and gags; The music; The ending
Cons: Takes a while to get moving

Shrek was a blockbuster film when it was released in 2001, going on to become one of the most successful films of all time, with a box office ranking that places it in the Top 25 grossing American films. With a level of success like that, it can only be ...

Pros: Returning characters and interesting new ones.
Cons: Puss in Boots didn't have enough to do. Gross humor at times.

S hrek, a computer-animated movie, was released in 2001. The movie was very successful and even won the first Academy Award for an animated movie. I saw that movie in the theater and now own the DVD. I really enjoyed ...

Pros: Loved it - start to finish.
Cons: More. I want more. Now.

For the past three weeks, Ethan has been counting down the days until Shrek 2 was released. He wanted to go the first day it was out and I tried to help him grasp the concept that the sequel may not be as good as the original. The glares I ...

Pros: Mike Meyers and Eddie Murphy, great comedic voice talent, wonderful animation
Cons: a bit hokey, a bit formulaic, not enough 'moments of random hilarity'

The amazing thing about the Shrek movies is their ability to both follow a formula, and yet move away from convention at the same time. I am a big fan of the or iginal movie and the moment I heard they were ...

Pros: Donkey's cooler, Shrek is more relatable, Pinocchio's revelation and just tons of little things.
Cons: I stole your title.

For what it's worth, I'm one of the few who didn't think Shrek was all that. I could've just been in a bad mood that day (I only saw it once), I suppose. Shrek 2 is a definite improvement on the first, even if it does go through a lot ...

Pros: Great voice acting for the new characters by Banderras, Cleese, Andrews, Saunders, & Everett
Cons: Where the hell is the originality? Humour? Decent storyline? Huh? Huh?!?!?

The original Shrek was a pretty good movie although tremendously over-rated in some quarters. I’d read conflicting reviews as to whether this was an excellent sequel that surpasses the original, or ...

Pros: All your favorite characters are back; Antonio Banderas!
Cons: The movie plays like it's a mere marketing tool.

First off, I can's say I was disappointed by Shrek 2. This movie is, pretty much, what I expected. It's entertaining and my kids loved it, but it's not nearly as enjoyable as the original. I suppose the difference is this -- Shrek was ...

Pros: funny, Eddie Murphy, Antonio Banderas, amazing animation
Cons: plot, soundtrack

After the mammoth success of the fi rst Shrek movie, which accomplished the rare feat of appealing to all ages, there was no doubt that Dreamworks would come out with a sequel. While Shrek (Mike Myers) and Donkey ...

Pros: Still an enjoyable ride
Cons: Its all the same

When Dreamworks delivered their first animated feature, Shrek, most people were very excited and a lot of critics were praising this film as one of the best animated films for a long time. Its not hard to see why that is the case. I, myself, ...

Pros: -
Cons: -

Yeah, there are 117 reviews of this movie already, but I know everyone has been dying to hear my take on it. I'd begin by saying you should see Shrek before this one, but I saw Shrek 2 first (and still haven't seen the first one). Based ...

Pros: As good as if not better than the original.
Cons: You have to put up with kids.

I figuratively had to drag my best friend to see Shrek 2 but I felt a certain kinship with the family behind us in the ticket line. Mom, Dad, a four year old, an eight year old, and their teenage son were arguing about the movie. The teenager ...

Pros: extremely funny, great characters, Puss In Boots, laugh-out-loud jokes
Cons: not a lot of originality, could have used more depth

After the 2001 release of the original Shrek brought in $267 million at the box office alone, it was a sure bet that a sequel would go into the works immediately. Three years later (2004) Shrek 2 came out and quickly became one of the most successful ...

Pros: The animation and character of Puss in Boots; some minor characters; the Donkey; overall animation
Cons: Loud and somewhat jaded, with satire that misses its mark.

Shrek 2 is a louder, busier, and ultimately more crass and heartless revisiting of Shrek, itself a louder, busier and ultimately more crass and heartless rendering of William Steig’s original charming and slight children’s book of ...
