It's not easy Venting Spleen....

Rating: Null/10 (3 June 2001)

At least for Herr Katzenberger, Dreamworks/ex Disney head honcho, piling onto some of his own works there-Beauty and the Beast, Lion King, etc with a ton of parody and satire all throughout the flick. Most of it works, some of it, well-doesn't. When they try and get all serious towards the end here, with a 'secret character twist' you can see coming 40 miles away-it's a case of wanting to have yer cake and eat it too, seems to me. Blazing Saddles funny this ain't.
That said, I liked the voices, the action(gotta like the dragon fight), though Eddie Murphy does get tiring as the yakky donkey after awhile. Still it was pretty involving and funny throughout, Myers as Shrek does a good job too.
Check it out, not better than 'Bugs Life' or 'Aladdin', but hardly inferior either.
*** outta **** or so, kinda good.
