a great sequel to the almighty shrek

Rating: 10/10 (24 May 2004)

when i first saw the poster for shrek 2 in a glass display, i was both excited and nervous at the same time. excited, because i had been looking forward to it for some time; nervous, because i didn't want them to ruin such a great original with a poor sequel.
what started as a relatively dull beginning filled with insipid jokes & images, develops into another shrek as the story progresses. i was glad that the writers, instead of opting for the original shrek humor and character chemistry, introduced a very fresh package which strikes on par with the original.
ironically the 'disney,' which was butt of every joke in the original somehow managed itself to creep into the actual story plot of the sequel, but that did not bother me. i'll probably be one of the first in line for the shrek 3, which i'm sure is to be made.
