Not as good, really, really.......

*************POSSIBLE SPOILERS**************************
Ok, I'll admit that perhaps I shouldn't have watched Shrek the night before and yet I don't think it really swayed my feeling. This one just wasn't as funny or entertaining. I found myself wondering when it was going to be funny in a few places where it was obviously dragging. Maybe I was expecting to much. Now for the possible spoiler part. The Fairy Godmother is annoying!!!! About halfway through the movie, without any prompting from me, because I don't talk during a movie, my 8 year old son made the comment, "Does anyone have a tranquilizer gun?" This was after a particularly annoying scene with the Fairy Godmother. I knew she was annoying me but for an 8 year old to put it into words, well I felt it was a confirmation of how I was seeing this Character. I gave the movie 6 out of 10 and feel that was being generous.
