Shrek 2

omg, this movie is by far the best I have seen all year. It is so funny and i cannot begin to start to tell you about which scenes were my favorite. They were all fantastic, One thing that I absolutely loved was when Donkey, Shrek and Fiona are on their way to "The land far far away" and Donkey is bored and Shrek tells him to find away to amuse himself. And Donkey makes this annoying sound. Its soooo funny, and puss in boots with his adorable face. When he tries to get out of trouble. When he looks up with that sad sad face.. This movie is defiantly a family movie, or even if your having a bad day and need a good laugh. This, right here ladies and gentlemen is the movie you have to see, because you will truly regret it if you don't. Good work cast and crew..5/5 stars for this one.
 

See it Ogre Again

Super

Antonio Banderas rules this movie.  His voice work as Puss in Boots is simply some of the greatest voice character work in any cartoon feature film ever.  His work, combined with the flawless animation of the DreamWorks Animation team, who obviously have owned cats (see hairball), have created a purely great, memorable character.  "For you baby, I could be."  After...taking a bath.  Priceless.

Mike Meyers, Cameron Diaz, and Eddie Murphy also do fine work.  Especially Eddie, who's Donkey is a close second for comedy, but still a favorite for heart.  ("You're still a noble steed to me.")  The comic timing between them is great, as is the romance/realistic relationship between Shrek and Fiona is quite good.  John Cleese is almost underused, until the tea-drinking scene, in which the clear Cleese shines.  Julie Andrews has the tough job of playing it straight, but she's Julie Andrews, so she rules.

The plot and comedy is as good as the first one.  Instead of mocking fairy tales, they mock movies, which is okay in my book.  Some of the surprise is gone from the first one, but that's gonna happen, so all's forgiven.  This movie is simply one of the funniest animated films I've seen, with all the heart that you can muster.  Mmm.  Mustard.

Pathetic

          So, the only thing going for this flick is Fiona... hot.  Granted about halfway through the movie she gets a little ugly for a while, but when she's got her green on, damn.  I mean she's a little chunk and such, but she's got hips.  And so does Shrek.  But he doesn't have the chest.  Her face would without a doubt launch a thousand ships.

           Otherwise this movie's got nothing.  This bird crashes into a wall, but that's like all except green Fiona being hot.  Overall the movie's a rehash of Gladiator and Brad Pitt is ridiculous as the Donkey.  Why they would cast him as a donkey is silly though he is a jack ass... ha ha!  The only high point was Orlando Bloom as Shrek man.  It's a bit of a repeat when he swings up on Brad Pitt with the Legolas jump, but otherwise he's good until Eric Bana takes over and he becomes green.  I mean, come on, Hulk anyone?  I remember that almost as clearly as the last four hours, so I know it was a mistake.  What's he gonna play Kermit the Frog next.

          Stupid.  And Peter O'Toole as Fiona's father was just dumb.  First of all, there's no way Mary Poppins would be banging Peter O'Toole, who knows what diseases he's gotten from middle-eastern prostitutes, and secondly, we all know he's gay.  All that time in the desert with a crapload of men, gay.  He couldn't be Fiona's father... gay men can't get chicks knocked up.

          So basically the whole things is impossible.  And on top of that they rip off Hollywood and obviously couldn't afford the rights so they had to slightly change names and call it Far Far Away.  And so, having changed the name of the state like that, it makes no sense when the Durex Horse rolls in.  The entire motif is thrown.  And things only get weirder when the Statue of Liberty shows up, walking with the Ghostbusters riding on it.  But then he turns into E.T. and the whole things stops making sense for like the fiftieth time.

          At the end puppets in drag, even wearing skirts, wielding swords and turning green when their in love on the battlefield just doesn't hold together.  And after all that advertising, Harry Potter doesn't even show up.
