Shrek 2

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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy and Antonio Banderas
Cons: Lack of interesting conflict and annoying characters

When the first Shrek movie came out a couple of years ago, I couldn't get my wife to see it with me. My then 14 year old stepdaughter and I went to the late Friday night show. As we sat outside the theater for the earlier movie to end, we witnessed the ...

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: 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: Lots of jokes that will make everyone laugh.
Cons: Some of the jokes are needlessly crude and suggestive

2001 brought a surprise smash hit to the big screen in the form of Shrek. This computer animated movie spoofed fairytales as it told the story of an ogre who fell in love with a princess. Since ogres don't live happily ever after (and Hollywood wanted ...

Pros: wry social commentary, the returning characters, king and queen
Cons: Fairy Godmother, Prince Charming, flashy media

Back in 2001, I saw Shrek in the theater. I enjoyed the animation, the clever jabs at traditional fairy tales and especially the unconventional ending, but it was considerably cruder than I expected an animated ...

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: 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, ...
