A lot to live up to and does(to a point)

Rating: 8/10 (23 May 2004)

I went into Shrek 2 knowing it was going to be more of the same. There would be lots of inside jokes about sex, fairy tales, and current events. It does entertain and bore at intervals just as most movies do, but doesn't have the character development that a new story has. Don't get me wrong, it's a very funny movie but I found myself looking more at the animation than ever before. The realism that the animators gave to the King and the Fairy Godmother were remarkable. Couldn't imagine seeing another animated movie that wasn't as easy on the eyes as this.
All in all, a great movie as far as sequels go. Wanted to see more of the Donkey,Shrek and Puss N Boots as they go on their travels. Most fun part of the movie by far.
