Movie: Shrek 2

Well, I watched this last night... and I must say that I enjoyed it more than the first one (which I liked).

Storyline was great. It kicked along at a faster pace than the previous one. Still plenty of obvious and subtle humour through the movie (A depressed Puss-in-Boots at a bar saying 'I hate Mondays'... very Garfield-esqe :) ), as well as a few 'action' scenes. Ran together nicely.

Visuals are an improvement on the first too. The main characters have been spruced up a little (if you look closely enough) but some of the new characters are very well animated. There were seriously times where the animation bordered on realistic, which is a credit to the guys at Dreamworks.

Sound / soundtrack were superb again. A nice ending with Puss in Boots (Antonio Banderes) and Donkey (Eddie Murphy) doing a cool Ricky Martin cover. ;)

All in all, if you liked the first then you'll probably like the second even more. Recommended for everyone to see.

3.9/5

I'm certainly looking forward to seeing this. Actually I don't think my girlfriend is going to give me any choice on the matter...

well in the DVD for the first one they said while making the chick they had to make her look more cartooney, as she looked almost real in a cartoon world... so its a suprise they went better on the graphics ;)

Yeah, i saw the same thing. The movements portrayed the cartoony-ness though.... Even if the animation looked realistic.

I saw it the other day and its an awsome funny movie, I luved puss-in-boots (Antoneo Banderes) fight scene with Shrek and then at the end with the guards, 'Oh hes sooo cute...can we keep him' :D

Luved it much more than the 2nd. Now i just hope when it comes out on DVD that they dont play it on evry bus trip that i go on and ruin it for me, cos i think i saw the first one about 10-15 times on all the bus trips i went on

yeah i can't wait either i get to go see it with my kiddies kinder group! yay!!!!!!
