Shrek The Fabulous become Shrek The Feeble

Rating: 5/10 (14 June 2004)

As the princess after Shrek's kiss converted into an sympathetic ogre, "Shrek-2", after public's and critic's kisses converted into the bore. "Shrek 2" is a dumb and mindless romantic musical with slight elements of comedy. What we loved in the first movie? It was unpredictable, fresh, totally opposed to Disney-like routine. "Shrek 2" is absolutely predictable, it's dated, it successfully copying Disney-like routine. This sequel is like the couple of worst romantic scenes taken from "Shrek 1" extended into the fulltime movie. Most jokes aren't work, some of them are the examples of ordinary closet humor. The movie itself is not total disaster. However it's completely confusing, that people accepted this patchy work with recording box-office profits. Even less-than-genius 'Finding Nemo' looks like masterpiece compared with 'Shrek' sequel. Sorry, folks, you've got your VERY BIG money not for fair work. I don't know, why creators of Shrek goin' to make a 'Shrek 3' based on King Arthur story. With their bleak comedy vision and diminishing skills it's going to be a complete failure in the world, where exists such masterpiece as 'Monty Python And The Holy Grail' yet.
