I don't get it

Rating: 1/10 (22 October 2001)

Where was the great story, the great character study, the overflowing laughs, the incredible computer animation? Certainly not in the film I saw. How did this movie ever get to be such a high grossing film. People must have gone back a second and third time because they couldn't believe how bad it really was. The characters had no redeeming qualities. The only one even remotely funny was Eddie Murphy. He's the reason I gave it a 2 and not a 1. The story, in general was boring and extremely predictable and the computer animation left much to be desired. Final Fantasy had far better computer animation and from the clips I've seen of Monsters Inc, well it leaves the others in the dust visually. I usually grab animation dvds the moment they come out. In the case of Shrek, well, maybe I'll watch it again when it comes out on cable but I certainly won't waste my money on it. Not a keeper.
