Rating: 9/10 (3 June 2004)

I usually don't like sequels. They tend to be stale, start out slow, and most of the gags are reused from the first film. But if all sequels were as good as Shrek 2, I would go see all of them.
Things did start out a bit on the slow side. There were several new characters to introduce, and how they fit into the story had to be established. Once this was done, the movie picked right up. I was laughing so hard in some places I scared my 18 month old daughter, who was sitting next to me and enjoying the film more than her popcorn. Think about that too. The movie made an adult laugh, and kept an 18 month old interested for an hour and a half. Good going Dreamworks!
Suffice it to say, if you like Shrek, you'll like Shrek 2.
