Strong Sequel

Rating: 9/10 (27 June 2004)

This is, for once, a sequel that makes sense.
My wife and I finally got to see it last night and we loved every second of it. The plotting is tighter this time, the jokes are faster and, for a film junkie like myself, the film references are constant and hilarious. Excellent work from Dreamworks. Don't take that as a blanket statement as, to this point, this movie and the original Shrek are the only worthwhile movies from the DW animation studio.
By the way, for those of you who didn't see Dragon in this movie, I have a bit of advice: The credits count as part of the movie (and that's true about every movie). Don't get up and walk away once they start to roll... relax, talk about it with your date... and you may be a little surprised...
