Shrek 2 delivers entertainment, not excitement

Rating: Null/10 (22 May 2004)

This movie is more about lessons than comedy. There was clearly a different motive behind the writing. The movie is very entertaining, and younger children will enjoy it simply because of the animation. As far as the comedy level, it had some very funny parts, but certainly not the laugh-a-minute as others have reported. It's so tough to put together a sequel that outdoes the original, although ScoobyDoo 2 managed to pull that off. The movie shows what people will do for that "happily ever after" type of life which is the main line to the story adding excitement and comedy.
Not trying to sound overly negative, the movie is worth seeing, but don't go in with high expectations and you won't be disappointed. Some will say this is the greatest movie ever, others will hate it, it's that type of flick.
Original Shrek I would give 9/10....Shrek2 7/10
