Hilarious

Rating: 9/10 (23 July 2001)

Animation is getting advanced every time a new animated film is been produced. With Shrek you can see it and appreciate it to the full. There was always a problem that the human characters were not so believable. This film prove that with computer animation they are about to solve this aspect of animated films.
Not just the animation but everything in this film is superb. A story that in the world of animation, make sense, move fast,combined with well build characters, which are supported by superb voices who make every character unique(especially Eddie Murphy who is better here than he is in his own films). To the mix you should add some black and politically incorrect humor, some jocks which are aimed at Dream Works' main rival,Disney, and some scenes which show that today films are more close to an animation films than anyone has ever thought it would. The result is Shrek. I found my self laughing constantly. It was simply hilarious. The jocks work in all levels. Some of them are simple others are sophisticated enough. Children and adults will enjoy this film for different reasons.
All in all I highly recommend this film. I had only one objection. I didn't like the forced message which was inserted in the film. In a such politically incorrect film the message looked forced. That's the reason why I gave the film a 9 out of 10. I could live without the message. Otherwise it is a perfect movie.
