Needs More Kitty! Otherwise great!

Possible Spoiler if you haven't paid any attention to the ad campaign at all::
"Shrek 2" is great fun. My only criticism is the woeful underuse of the new Puss in Boots character. Considering the hilarious buildup and intro the character is provided, he has little to do and little to do with the plot. I suspect Puss was the victim of the filmmaker's need to shorted the movie for kiddie attention spans as it is pretty obvious that his turnaround from foe to friend is severely truncated. One moment he's the unstoppable assassin out to off Shrek and Donkey, the next he's Shrek's bosom pal with no more than an "I have mish-jujjed joo." I just know that there's a lot of Puss left on the cutting room floor (stop sniggering). Hopefully we'll get an extended cut with more PIB for the DVD release and not just a bunch of random, out of context deleted scenes tacked on as extras.
