Sorry, I just don't see it

Rating: Null/10 (14 December 2001)

OK, I just don't see why people like this movie so much. I only watched it yesterday because none of the movies I wanted to rent were in. So I settled on this, with the lowest of expectations... and that's it. No "pleasantly surprised!" comments from me, because I frankly didn't see ANY original jokes in this. NONE.
The jabs at Disney - intended to be funny - actually just showed a raw bitterness to me, and I can't believe nobody else saw this.

The colours were good, and some sequences were *quite* well done, but that's about it. No, I don't think Disney is in trouble just yet; after all, "The Emperor's New Groove" was a far, FAR superior movie, and it's such a shame that it was largely overlooked (which is more than I can say about "Shrek"). If you want real, genuinely hilarious jokes, watch "The Emperor's New Groove", which practically invents its own brand of humour. If you're into the dire, simple, "Two things: SHUT. UP." kind of humour that died long ago in "Friends", watch "Shrek", and by all means enjoy it.
