 Even Better Than The 1st--Great Antonio Banderas Performance
With a cast that includes John Cleese and Julie Andrews as Princess Fiona's royal parents, Rupert Everett as Prince Charming, both Antonio Banderas AND Jennifer Saunders stealing the show as Puss-In-Boots and the Fairy Godmother, respectively, SHREK 2 actually manages to do the seemingly impossible: build on---and even improve upon---the original! Usually, the first in any film series is the best, being fresh & original; sequels almost never live up to the original story. However, SHREK 2 plays not like a sequel; it's really more of an extension of the wacky SHREK. It actually throws more at you this time around, and resultingly turns out to be a laugh-a-minute animated comedy that blows you away. It is startingly original, inventive, edgy, satirical, rude, crude, romantic, cute---all at the same time! Mike Myers still does an incredible job as the voice of Shrek, as does Eddie Murphy as the motormouth Donkey and, of course, Cameron Diaz as the feisty Princess Fiona. I couldn't count all the great lines there are in the film! Also, as visually stunning as the 3-D CGI animation was in the original, it is even more amazing this time around: for example, Prince Charming looks so real that you have to remind yourself that he's not CGI. SHREK 2 is a feast for the eyes, yet you don't even realize how much it is because you're too busy laughing at the hundreds of gags, of which I will not dare to reveal!As with the original, this film is not appropriate for kids under the age of 8. As with the original, more than 20 million kids under the age of 8 will have seen this film by this time next year. That's just a fact of life, I guess! Already SHREK 2 is breaking box office records, most notably the coveted five-day-opening-weekend record, earning over $125 million. It will undoubtably end up with an over-half-billion-dollar take at the U.S. box office alone, easily surpassing that of the original. But really, it isn't all hype: SHREK 2 definitely earns its standing as the most anticipated movie sequel of the year. Add to that the best comedy of the year! MOST RECOMMENDED
Great sequel!
After the events of the original, Shrek with his newlywed wife Fiona are on their honeymoon and are invited to Fiona's royal parents's home in a hollywood-esque place called " Far Far Away". However they are in a bit of shock when they see their daughter is a ogre including her husband, but the king with a evil fairy godmother has plans for Shrek's and Fiona's marriage including Puss-in-Boots a tough tabby who may give you cute looks but is dangerous and the jerk of a prince called Charming. A rare sequel that proves it can be as excellent as the original just like the original "Dawn of the Dead", Terminator 2, Aliens, Toy Story 2, The Two Towers and Empire Strikes Back proved it. The CGI is quite excellent and more realistic than before especially on Puss-in-Boot's fur, the story is good, there is alot of humor and references to other movies such as "Ghostbusters", " Lord of the Rings", "Disney flicks" and more. It also features of the voices of Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz, Eddie Murphy, John Cleese, Julie Andrews, Antonio Bandareas, and Rupert Everett. A must watch sequel!
Fantastic Movie! Better than the first!!!
This is a great film. It has a good moral and is a good family film. Most of the the innuendoes and other innapropriate jokes will go over the heads of most children.
