Could be better

Rating: 7/10 (2 January 2002)

Shrek is good but not great. The story(theme) and animation are good, the soundtrack is brilliant and the voice actors fit the characters convincingly (except Mike Myers, who I feel is miscasted). However, it lacks the energy and humour to make it an interesting film like The Emperor's New Groove. Many parts of the film it tries to make me laugh but fails, at best a chuckle or two.
Ironically, the only part that is so hilarious that I can't stop laughing is not even in the original film. That's right, it's the Karaoke Dance Party in the bonus section in the dvd. Overall a good effort, a 7/10 in my book.
