Those Eyes!

Rating: Null/10 (6 June 2004)

The best thing for me in the film was the eyes of puss in boots. Cute or what? I don't think the film generally is quite as good as the first. The humour is more forced and in your face. The story is told in a faster less relaxed way which somehow loses some of the charm. I still very much enjoyed the film and have no complaints about the performances at all. It does almost seem like a straight to DVD sequel. In that many of the scenes are more related to serving up a joke than continuing the story. Still an excellent film that is a pretty darn good sequel by any standard. I look forward to getting the DVD. I'm a bit worried about there being a Shrek 3 though as personally I think that could end up being a very average movie and spoil the excellent reputation of the first.
