Well, I usually love this type of film and I love Mike Myers. There was something missing in this movie and kept it from being great. I can't forgive it for that. I mean when I laughed which was maybe twice they were really good laughs, but that isn't enough to make a movie great. Granted every movie doesn't have to be a masterpiece, but when you obviously put so much time into something you should make sure it's complete. I think part of the problem was Eddie Murphy as the donkey. It was very annoying and just not funny at all....period. The three blind mice were great. The basic plot was good. They should have spent more time with the relationship between the ogre and the princess. Throughout the movie I was either grossed out or shocked. Hopefully the next one will be better, but I'm not going to hold my breath.
