Not a fairy-tale anymore...

Rating: 6/10 (2 December 2005)

My drop into this ocean: "Shrek" was an illustrious adventure/fairy-tale, "Shrek 2" only was making me wonder why did they need to put so much toil to model, animate and render it all when nearly all of this could be shot in real! The story of "Shrek 2" is just a well-made romance with a lot of fairy-tale characters. Not a fairy-tale. And don't expect the same wealth of humour as "Shrek" had. Of course it's pretty watchable and still even have something to remember but it's not THAT, you know what I mean. There are no particular things I really dislike, maybe only the tempo is too slow, too much talk (terrible squandering of the CGI work!) and, alas, no "modern fairy-tale" spirit "Shrek" had. And too much parodies also.
