Shrek 2 is a sequel and boy does it show.

Rating: 6/10 (21 July 2004)

I wasn't a huge fan of the original Shrek but I admit that I enjoyed it a lot, sadly the sequel leaves a lot to be desired. The jokes (which I might add had the audience in stitches) failed to move me, everything about the film felt forced and overdone, which may of been the intention of the film makers but the first one did it in a far superior way.
But on the plus side Antonio Banderas is brilliant and Jennifer Saunders is fantastic (her Holding out for a hero number is fantastic, who knew she had such a great voice?)
All in all a pretty tired effort.
