Not as good as the first!

Rating: Null/10 (3 June 2004)

Shrek 2 was an okay movie. I had very high expectations and was somewhat disappointed. I thought it was going to be funnier that the first Shrek. I wasn't fond about the fact that it was mostly a love story. There was a couple of funny parts but not as much as I had anticipated. There was also a lot of changes in the characters which at times was confusing. I believe from the beginning of the movie the storyline was predictable. The trailers seem to give away most of the story.
There were some good parts to Shrek 2. I always enjoy the characters, their names and how they always exaggerate their movements. [Minor Spoiler] I love when Prince Charming walks into the castle, takes off his helmet and does a little head shake to push his hair back. I like how the actors fit their characters. The technology is amazing because when you look at the character you can actually see the similarity to the actor. As in Shrek, Donkey was just as funny and had just as many smart comments to say. The trailers did not do justice to Puss N Boots. Donkey and Puss N Boots actually make the movie.
All in all I would say the movie was okay. I would not pay to see it again in theaters but I would buy it.
