Shrek 2

Pros: crisp animation, delightful characters, Puss-N-Boots rocks
Cons: unoriginal plot, fails to deliver on the same level as the original

There are more than enough movies in this world whose central plot is about meeting the in-laws (in this case “Shrek 2”). More than enough about the groom doing everything he can to win the heart of his woman’s very rich father (in this case the King of ...

Pros: The pervasive tongue-in-cheek humor.
Cons: The pervasive tongue-in-cheek humor.

I don't care what anyone says, Shrek 2 is not a kids movie. Yes, of course it's targeted towards the single-digit age crowd, but while they will no doubt enjoy it, this sequel is a little bit cruder, packed with more humor, and features a ...

Pros: I vaguely remember sorta being mildly amused here and there
Cons: the soundtrack, the finale, the overall uninspired middle and beginning

Mike Myers .... Shrek (voice) Eddie Murphy .... Donkey (voice) Cameron Diaz .... Princess Fiona (voice) Julie Andrews .... Queen (voice) Antonio Banderas .... Puss In Boots (voice) John Cleese .... King (voice) Rupert Everett .... Prince ...

Pros: quality of comedy lines
Cons: none

When one is looking to find a superstar studded movie, most of the time an animation film does not pop into one's mind. However, the celebrities that take on animated characters in the Dreamworks movie "Shrek 2" is a mixed bag of some of the finest ...

Pros: Animation, Storyline
Cons: Fiona’s introduction to Fairy Godmother

My second entry into theThe Quotes That Make The Movie W/O, hosted by me. The basic idea is to review a movie and highlight any quotes that simply make the movie for whatever reason, ie, they’re so funny they’re ...

Pros: As sumptuously animated as the first movie
Cons: Lacks the wit and charm of the original

Call me an ogre, but I found little joy in Shrek 2, and I say that as a wholehearted fan of the original. But the high spirits of Shrek 1 are missing here. The fairy-tale and movie take-offs, the anachronisms, the pot-shots on ...

Pros: Visual gags and homages are HYSTERICAL. Great fun!
Cons: The plot is not nearly as strong...and the conflict is confusing.

When the first Shrek came out, like most people, I was floored. The irreverent take on Disney themes and the road movie/love story combination was irresistible. However, what really stole the show was the combination of Eddie Murphy and Mike Myers (in ...

Pros: …
Cons: …

WARNING: While I won’t reveal the ending of this movie, I may end up giving away vital details of the first movie’s plot. If you haven’t seen either movie, you might want to stop reading now. There are a few movies that I’d like to see in ...

Pros: Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Antonio Banderas, songs, humorous fairy-tale jabs
Cons: slow beginning, somewhat predictable story

Over in France, the controversial, and increasingly robust, Michael Moore is premiered his latest crap-trap, Fahrenheit 9/11, and considering it played mainly to an already Bush-hating liberal audience, President George W. Bush lost little sleep ...

Pros: funnier with better jokes and better animation
Cons: not has good in the plot department

I went and saw Shrek 2 when it first came out, and I liked it so much I went and saw it again a little while ago. Shrek was a funny movie not only fracturing fairy tales in every shape and form but also poking fun of DreamWorks rival company Disney has ...

Pros: Lots of small funny parts.
Cons: Main story is bogged down. Not enough Fairy Tale World!

Disney has made quite a killing creating and releasing subpar sequels to their classic films, filling them with slightly better than TV animation, annoying songs, and perhaps a joke or two. Shrek 2 reminds me of a slightly superior version of one of ...

Pros: Writing, voice work, animation
Cons: I guess there really isn't anything quite like the original

DreamWorks has done the impossible. They have faced insurmountable odds and have made an artistic success out of Shrek 2. Now there was no doubt of its commercial success, but with the already-classic status of Shrek the task of making a sequel that ...

Pros: All the main characters minus King Farquaad returned.
Cons: The sound track wasn't as good and the jokes weren't as good as the first.

But unfortunately this one didn't. It was a good movie overall, but it lacked that wonderment and originality the first one brought. Sure it was funny to hear Donkey quip once in awhile and Shrek and Fiona made a great couple, but most of the laughs ...

Pros: the whole movie
Cons: the bad experiece i had watching it. bad company, cold nacho sauce, etc.

Shrek is, in my opinion, the best animated film i have seen. Well this and toy story, which i saw 5 different times... we there yet? Shrek, donkey, and fiona are back for another wild ride in this sequel. If you havent seen the first movie ...

Pros: Puss in boots; extremely funny; great acting; awesome looking animation; laughter for all ages
Cons: Story isn't as fresh as the original

When I first saw Shrek, I was enchanted by its original story, its funny characters and jokes, and its awesome looking effects. It was a pleasing change from all the other movies that relied on their cool looking effects rather than a cool story, who ...
