Customer Reviews of Shrek 2 (Widescreen Edition)
I'm sold. I like Shrek. I am a grown man, but I like Shrek. I liked the first one a little better. I like the fact that I can watch this movie with anyone young or old. This is something I can take my daughter to and not mind sitting there watching it with her. The story is easy enough for a child to enjoy yet it has its adult elements. This is a nice mellow movie to watch even without kids around. I'm sold.
Shrek 2 - As good as Shrek !!

>Another very funny movie about a very good hearted Ogre!

<
>Sequel Review:
<
>
<
>Sequels are always very tough to create because viewers expects more of the same "originality" that they enjoyed in the first movie, but they also need some novel situations as well.
<

<
>Shrek 2 does very well with this, but is not quite as fresh and original as Shrek was. But, it really is a very good sequel.

>Review:
<

<
>Great story with a good script with good cohesion (but, a little choppier than Shrek I), flow and development; great caste with wonderful voices (Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz and Antonio Banderas as Puss and Boots - like Zorro; John Cleese as King Harold, and Julie Andrews as Queen Lillian), great animation, design and implementation, great direction and great movie. Great DVD features that are extensive and generous!

<
>Good duel meaning humor that gets a little aggressive, but not too much over the edge (In one twisted humor scene, Pinocchio declares he isn't wearing women's underwear in order to tell a lie..... !) This may require some judgement for young kids to watch depending on your children and their needs.

>Storyline
<
>
<
>The movie starts on the honeymoon of our charming ogre (Myers) and feisty Princess Fiona (Diaz) and friendly, but obnoxious Donkey (Murphy) travel to meet the Princess' parents King Harold (Cleese) and Queen Lillian (Andrews).
<
>
<
>Of course, misunderstood Shrek is not approved of and the King (John Cleese) undermines Shrek to help Prince Charming (Rupert Everett) steal Fiona from Shrek with some underhanded help from Puss 'n Boots (Banderas), Fairy Godmother (Jennifer Saunders) and Queen Lillian.
Excellent Casting - Good Story
After "Shrek" had me in stitches, I half looked forward to and half dreaded the sequel. After all, many a good film has been marred by an attempt to repeat the glory of the original. And many a sequel to a simply OK film just beat a dead horse (I can think of two examples starring Mike Myers). So I waited a bit before seeing "Shrek 2".

<
>The second film is every bit as good as the first. Perhaps a little better.
<
>
<
>While Myers, Eddie Murphy and Cameron Diaz all do a good job reprising their roles as Shrek, Donkey and Fiona respectively, it's the ensemble cast backing them up that really makes "Shrek 2" shine. Most specifically, Jennifer Saunder as the Fairy Godmother and, of course, Antonio Banderas as Puss In Boots.
<

<
>"Shrek 2" continues the theme of a fairly tale world gone horribly awry, where the images of those characters we all held dear as children are dragged through the mud, much to our amusement and delight. As with the first film, there are many short spoofs of blockbuster films, including Lord of the Rings, Spiderman, Mission Impossible and Alien, which are fun to pick out and manage to not detract from the enjoyment of the movie.
<
>
<
>The plot itself is simple, but amusing, and appears as if the writers took their time to get things right, rather than simply crank out a formulaic follow-up, hoping for laughs in all the same places.
<
>
<
>"Shrek 2" is well worth the watch, whether or not you've seen the first movie.
