pretty good but....

Rating: Null/10 (20 November 2001)

I liked Shrek, but there were some things that bothered me. The use of "Allstar" and "I'm a Believer" were good for "tie-ins" (Burger King commercials and selling the video) but didn't fit the movie well. The WWF-style wrestling scene was just plain dumb (there isn't anything remotely clever about pro-wrestling). There were alot of good points - it looked great, the voices were super and the fairy-tale jokes had the perfect dark humor (gingerbread man). Whether you like Disney movies or not, it's difficult to do a 'fairy-tale' type movie without being compared to them and/or inadvertently borrowing from them (the three fairy witches).
