Not quite as good as the original, but still really good.

Rating: 9/10 (20 August 2009)

Shrek 2 was one of the better sequels of 2004. I will give my list at towards the end of my review. I absolutely loved the original Shrek film. The first film was highly inventive, incredibly funny and clever. The second film is almost the same, but you don't get as much from some the characters that you loved. Donkey isn't Donkey in this film, he turns into a stallion. Shrek isn't Shrek anymore, he turns into a human. The second film is very funny may not be the weakest in the series. It's a lot better than Shrek the third, which wasn't bad either. It just lacked what the first two films had. Shrek 2, as I said earlier, was one of the best sequels of 2004. The best sequels of 2004 were:
5.Meet the Fockers
4.Shrek 2
3. Kill Bill Volume 2
2. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
1.Spider-man 2
So perhaps Shrek 2 wasn't the best sequel of 2004. But it still has the creativity and humor that the first film had. The film also has new cast members including Julie Andrews, Antonio Banderas, John Cleese, Rupert Everett, Jennifer Saunders, and for some reason I think there are more people than that. though that's a great enough cast. Shrek 2 may not be as good as the original, but it's still a great film. One of the rare animated sequels that isn't far from the original. Shrek 2 is a good sequel and a good animated film. It was actually nominated for best animated picture in 2005. I personally think it deserved it.
The Plot: In the sequel to the smash hit Shrek, Shrek, Fiona, and Donkey set off to Far, Far away to visit Fiona's parents. Fiona's father isn't alright with her being with an ogre, so he tries to find a way to get rid of him. Fiona's fairy godmother is trying to get rid of him also so then her son can become king someday.
