Great movie for adults an children - a very well-done sequel

Rating: 10/10 (3 July 2004)

My first thought, after I I've seen there would be a "Shrek 2", was: "Oh no, pleeaase, don't!" Shrek was very good in my opinion so I feared they would just produce a bunch of ... mud. After disappointing Matrix 2 and other bad sequels to (more or less) good movies, I was quite sure, Shrek 2 would become either a completely boring movie or one which is completely "overfilled" with bad gags.
But some friends of mine persuaded me to watch the premiere and I was enthusiastic after it. Not too much songs, not too much tawdry love-scenes and a lot of good gags. My favourite character is (how could it be else) the "Puss in boots" - very well done. The helpless expression of it's face is so sweet and funny, I couldn't stop laughing for minutes, especially when he "stops" the soldiers who are hunting Shrek and Fiona.
After all the movie is a nice surprise with a well-done soundtrack. Some minutes in the middle without climaxes couldn't prevent the 10 points. :)
