Just as good as the first, maybe even better!

Rating: 8/10 (9 March 2005)

SHREK 2 is the great just-as-good-as-the-first sequel that simply follows the same great things of the first, but in the same time adding new, fine characters and even better belly laughs. After the great success of the first Shrek, the sequel leaps into a not that interesting story maybe, but just as charming and nicely told, the makers keep coming up with fantastic good ideas and with such a brilliant edge to it (as Pinocchio using women's underwear) the Shrek thing is about to become one of the best and most charming ideas around, and everything's open for a third.
SHREK 2 takes the laughs as said earlier, to a even more entertaining level, and the characters are brilliant every single one of them. Though the main focus being off course around Shrek, his wife and the talk sick donkey, the true loveliness lays in all the great gems being around here. Though they were just as good in the first, there were few. The sequel pours funny ideas like it was the easiest thing in the world onto the whole Shrek 2 movie.
Mike Myers is great, so with Cameron Diaz, Antonio Banderas, Eddie Murphy and so on. And that's really fine watching in such a success related sequel, that makers really know how to make a entertaining, funny and smart animation movie for the whole family.
