Enjoyable, funny film.

Rating: 9/10 (29 December 2007)

After seeing the first Shrek film and loving it completely, I was worried about the sequel being bad, as sequels often are. Luckily, I wasn't let down by Dreamworks. The film is brilliant and in some places, hilarious.
All the favourite characters are back with some great new ones added. My favourite new character was Puss in Boots, voiced by Antonio Banderas. He really gave life to the character. He had some really funny jokes and he's just a great voice actor overall.
I think Shrek 2 took all the fun of Shrek 1 and improved on it. It was a great laugh and worth the price of the cinema ticket.
The one thing I think that could have improved it, is that the romance between Shrek and Fiona was a bit cliché and cheesy, but I suppose it is a fairy tale story intended for kids, so it doesn't matter too much. Also, the small dog wasn't animated very well. But those are just very minor problems I had with the film.
Overall, I recommend it to families with kids and even teenagers will enjoy this great, fun filled film - I should know, I'm one of them.
