Needs another rewrite

Rating: Null/10 (31 May 2004)

I love Shrek. Who doesn't? He is the ogre in all of us. That is what I loved about the first one. And he is missing from Shrek 2. He is too much on the defensive. We get no sense of his quest until halfway through. I fell asleep! Honest! Get rid of the Fiona's father's problems. That is a different movie. Get rid of the Fairy Godmother singing. Get rid of Prince charming. Start with Shrek and Fiona at the castle. Get to the potion thing earlier. But don't use stupid Prince Charming as a foil. Use the expectations of society. Isn't that what eats away at the ogre in all of us?
I love Shrek. That is why I do not like this film. Shrek is not in it.
