Good, but first movie was better

Rating: 7/10 (20 May 2004)

Shrek is a very funny movie and is fun to watch. It has a lot of fun with its returning characters like Shrek, Fiona, and Donkey. However, the story sort of repeats the first movie. Fiona and Shrek have to realize how much they love each despite their looks, exactly like the first movie. the new characters are not that interesting this time around. Fiona's parents are not very interesting. The Fairy Godmother and Prince Charming(played by the overrated Jennifer Saunders and Rupert Everett) are also quite dull. Antonio Bandaras Puss N Boots is funny though (Note to filmakers, jokes about cat hairballs can now be retired. It wasn't funny in Cat In The Hat and it isn't funny in Shrek 2.) The movie has plenty of humor to recommend it. Just don't expect a classic like the first movie.
