Highly Disappointed

Rating: Null/10 (21 May 2004)

Shrek 2 has a dark and sinister plot, a plethora of evil characters and schemers, fart jokes and other amateurish contrivances that make Shrek 2 a small fraction as entertaining as the original Shrek. The charm is gone.
The King is evil, the Queen is evil, the Fairy Godmother is evil, Prince Charming is evil, etc., etc., etc. The Donkey is not funny this time around, just annoying.
On the positive side, the graphics are spectacular - very possibly a new standard for computer generated characters and animation. Unfortunately, the excellent visuals amount to nothing more than lipstick on a pig.
Don't waste your time on this insignificant sequel.
