Why does shrek 2 have three directors? - Shrek 2 Reviews
How does one direct an animated film? I find it hard to believe that the job is so difficult it requires three people to accomplish it. Curious.
Shrek 2 is a cartoon. It is funny. I laughed. Then I laughed again. Then once more. Funny stuff for people who like to laugh. I like to laugh, so I liked Shrek 2.
What gives with Ben Affleck? He has a fat face. Ben Affleck is not in Shrek 2. This is also a good thing, because nobody really likes Ben Affleck. If somebody tells you they like Ben Affleck, they are a liar. Do not trust them because they lie, and most likely steal things.
Shrek 2 was good. Thank you.
(Smile to the audience and bow)

By Looking At The Other Reviews A Majority Say That Shrek 2 Is Better Than The First. And They Are Right!
The Story Line, The Computer Animation, And The Mere Fact Of Having Antonio Playing A Cross Between Puss N' Boots And Zorro Is Genius!

Leaves shrek 1 green with envy!! great movie!! - Shrek 2 Reviews
I heard Shrek 2 was one of the few movies that turned out better than the first and all I can say is I loved it! They were right it was better than the first one...A great Comedy both people of all ages! Although it had slightly less of an immediate storyline the first one..it was very well done and full of movie spoofs... This is not a "wait to rent" movie!!
If you haven't already seen this movie Go See It!! You won't regret it :).
My 5 and 11 yr old loved it - i give it a+++ - Shrek 2 Reviews
My 5 yr old went in sleepy. I was afraid she would fall asleep. I kept checking on her - she always had a big smile on her face. I never saw her pay so much attention and never saw such an engaged smile from her. She loved it although she missed (thank God) some of the jokes. My 11 year old laughed much more than me. He got most of the funny scenes and more. In the car going back home he kept reminding me about all the funny scenes and they were many. I can tell you this was one funny movie. I paid especial attention to the actor voices. Eddy always manages to amaze me. I enjoyed Larry King's part. The woman whose voice he played looked a bit like him :) - I thought the similarity was intended. Mike Myers was also great. Too bad he made that stupid "Hat in the Cat" movie. There are so many good things to point out but I do not want to spoil the move for you. I vote for Shrek - 3.

#1 animated parody - Shrek 2 Reviews
I didn't know what to expect from this movie because I was originally going to see troy, but I found myself watching Shrek 2. There are so many stabs at other movies and things we see every day that much of the younger audience in the theater didn't get. Many very humorous parts of this movie were cleverly hidden so that you would only get them if you were paying attention. Here?s my overview:
Story: B
The fact that this movie was a sequel and that everybody knew what was going to happen in the end may have pushed this to a B. Otherwise, the jokes and parodies thrown in were hilarious at times.
Acting: A
The voicing was great but the way the animation fits with it is still pretty good. They're very funny. Not much more to say here.
Direction: A
Very good and very comical. I enjoyed the fact that many of the jokes were not oriented towards the children in the audience, namely the mission impossible scene with the jail, and the "Knights" scene.
Visuals: A+
Even though they are similar to before, they still seemed better, newer, and of higher quality than before. Just that good.
Overall: A
Despite the fact that I was disappointed about not seeing Troy, I really enjoyed this movie. This film is funny for people of many ages without being too oriented towards a younger or older crowd. If you have wasted you time reading this far, I recommend you go do something interesting rather than rot here in front of your monitor. I already wasted enough time typing this, so don't be the next to waste your time. If you are still reading this please stop right now. I think I need mental help.
Parent's corner - Shrek 2 Reviews
I took my nephew, who is only 5, and wasn't sure about the PG rating. So for any who are worried and have their kids on a strictly G rating diet, here is what you will see/hear or might have to explain.
1) Shrek farts/burps etc.
2) Towns people chasing the couple with pitch forks
3) Lots of cartoon kissing
4) Shrek & Fionna in a mud tub
5) Puss in Boots get caught by the Knights (take off of Cops) with cat nip in a dime bag and says, 'That's not mine."
My nephew didn't care about 3&4, didn't get #5 and our pre-movie talk covered potty humor and that it not something that should be praised. #2, you can explain the 'Why' question that may come and use it as your base to explain racism, homophbia and political parties.
Overall, this movie is fine for kids, but truly lost of most. Those that were raised on all the Grimm Fairy tales will catcht a lot of the little signs and jokes. Kids, enjoy it on the big screen, adults rent the DVD.

Hilarious movie. must see. - Shrek 2 Reviews
I never went to see the first Shrek, dismissing it as another Dreamworks "Hey, look what we can do with CGI" fest. I happened to catch it on TV no more than like a month ago, and found it to be an entertaining and original movie.
Hence, when Shrek 2 was announced I was definitely placing it in my "to see" category. The trailers were none too memorable, so although it was going to be seen, it wasn't a super excitement. Boy was I in for a surprise.
This movie is HILARIOUS. I was crying at most of Puss in Boots' scenes. Shrek 2 takes a simple plot and turns it into a riotous crack on pop culture with characters we all know and love. I never cease to be amazed how well "kid's" movies are written now a days, as theirs plenty of jokes in there that there's no way the kids are going to get, but the parents are going to love. Shrek 2 is no exception.
Story: "B". Like I said, pretty simple.
Acting: "B". Almost all of the jokes in this movie are sold by the visuals. Everyone did a great job, but it's less their comic timing (except for the phenomenal Eddie Murphy) and more the visuals. Antonio Banderas... not known as a comic actor had easily the funniest character in this movie.
Direction: "B". Very nice job selling the visuals.
Visuals: "A". If your sick of CGI dismiss this rating... of course then dismiss this movie. I still can't get over how real the humans look when they get close to the screen. You swear that a human actor accidentally slipped into the movie.
Overall: "B+". Definitely memorable. Coming into this I had no strong desire to see Shrek 2. Now I can't wait for Shrek 3.
Good but there was something missing - Shrek 2 Reviews
The first one had many pharses that are still used to today, such as " Im making waffles" or "noble steed". But this one is missing that, I think. The story line is good and funny. But many people in the movie didnt stay and watch the end when the Dragon came and brought the kids. I think the could have worked that in somehow.
Funny blast! - Shrek 2 Reviews
Saw it tuesday night. Great movie. Better then the first. A lot more comedy. *Funniest scene* starbucks, you know the one i am talking about.

Kudo's to pci dreamworks - Shrek 2 Reviews
You have pulled another rabbit out of your hats! What makes this film better than the first you might ask? Graphics, Dialouge and Music! Graphics are 1000% better than the first movie...The hair, The Textures, The Colours....All Excellent!! The Dialouge. Who ever thought to cast John Cleese to play the King should get a Medal. Mike Meyers and John Cleese in the same film...WOW!!! A Comic Genius and A Comic GOD, it is magical! And as for the music...More than you can shake a stick at...and your toe will be tapping along so be warned.
All in all, its a Funny, Witty, Lovable Romp that the WHOLE family will enjoy. GO SEE IT!
