3/4  Shrek 2
Shrek 2 is a solid follow-up to the original, but it relies more on hip cultural references and less on the heart and soul that made the first one so touching.

The good news! No smoking! Unlike the original, in which there was a cameo... (read full)

3/4  Wonderful computer animation and a good story too
"Shrek 2" is a wonderfully animated movie that reintroduces us to an Ogre (Mike Myers) and his formerly human wife, "Fiona" (Cameron Diaz), as well as introduces us to her parents.

The story mostly takes place in "Far Far Away," a plac... (read full)

3.5/4  Shrek 2 Quick Review
My favorite of the Shrek films, I find it much more entertaining - especially the addition of Antonio Banderas. I love the visual jokes throughout and the skewering of other pop icon films (most notably, Lord of the Rings).

2/4  Shrek 2 Quick Review
Not nearly as good as the first one. It has lost most of it's laughs and originality that made the first one good. I can see why people still want to see sequels. It makes them comfortable. THIS movie made me uncomfortable.

4/5 Not the Original but on my list Of favorites

5/5 I'ld even say it's better than most animes!
  by Bernard Blake (Texas, USA)
Woah, what a film! I couldn't help laughing aloud on several occasions while watching it yesterday. My favorite scene must've been the commercial for "Knights", a parody on the popular TV show "Cops". Everything is brilliantly made. With voice actors like Carmen Diaz, Antonio Banderas, Mike Myers and Eddie Murphy, plus SFX and GFX by Pixar, there is absolutely NOTHING to complain about on the audiovisual side. The script is well written, and when you deal with animated actors, there is not much that CAN be done wrong in the directing. The colors are just as beautiful as in Shrek 1 and follows the same color scheme, with a lot of green and red-pink-purple in shimmering, psychedelic, fairy-tale shades. The humor is of course also brilliant. This ISN'T a movie for kids, the animators were adults making a movie to be enjoyed by other adults. Some of the humor won't be comprehended by your children, and if you're a conservative right-wing Christian, you might have some difficulty explaining to them why everyone else in the movie theater is laughing. But if you're liberal and want to take your kids to the movies or they're begging you because it was such a long time ago, then here is your obvious pick!

5/5 The best of the Shrek movies (up to the third one)
  by Don't tread on me (North Carolina, USA)
Of the three Shrek movies available, this one was, by far, the best. The humor is great along with the use of modern music. The romance between Shrek and Fiona is even better than the first one.
Fairy Godmother, her operation and her son Charming are a great addition to the Shrek storyline. The team of Puss-in-Boots with Donkey is great. Eddie Murphy and Antonio Banderas really work great together.
What I have enjoyed about all the Shrek movies is that pre-teen and older children can enjoy them. At the same time, parents, who grew up in the 1980's (like me), will find a number of references that they will enjoy even more than the children.
Don't get me wrong, I like all the Shrek movie - even the third one that a lot of people don't seem to like. I just think this one is the best.
