8/10 At least as good as Shrek 1.

Shrek 2 is at least as good as Shrek 1. There were plenty of laughs. I found that most of the humor was fresh with only a little bit of post-consumer material. The cast of characters was colorful. The script was well-refined. The animation was fantastic as you'd expect. There isn't much else to say really. It's a fine sequel, a truly fun trip. It's especially satisfying to see a good sequel in a world that uses the sequel as a low-effort money-maker. Well not this time. I'm definitely buying this when it's available. Enjoy! 8/10
