Another chapter of the Shrek saga

Rating: 7/10 (1 June 2011)

Shrek was a massive hit so it's no surprise that this sequel soon followed in 2004 and again proved that sequels can be better than the original.
The plot is kept simple with the addition of new characters only helping this to come across while also leaving lots of room for returning characters such as the gingerbread man to have their moment.
This perhaps marked the high point of the Shrek saga as the two later sequels really lacked the spark that made these first two so great. Maybe Dreamworks got greedy and tried to create a franchise when there really wasn't scope for one.
Overall a worthwhile sequel to watch but I would stop after this one before the lovable ogre starts to out stay his welcome.
