Shrek 2

Rating: 8/10 (7 April 2005)

The swamp ogre (Mike Myers) and his bride Fiona (Cameron Diaz) travel with Donkey (Eddie Murphy) to the land of Far, Far Away to meet her parents (Julie Andrews, John Cleese).
A well-made and funny sequel to the 2001 hit. The one-liners are hilarious and the scenes between Myers and Murphy have the same funny charm as in the original. A new character, Puss in Boots (Antonio Banderas) is a very welcome addition; he gets the funniest lines and Banderas out-performs every last one of the other voice-actors. I loved this character! The movie itself is a little disappointing compared to the original. The plot, concerning Shrek having to prove his worth for Fiona to her fairy godmother, is a bit of a letdown. Not that any of this really matters. The animation is very good and the movie is funny; it makes for a good time.
