Awesome Movie

Rating: 9/10 (2 May 2005)

Kay,once again I thought this wasn't going to be a movie worth watching from seeing the previews but then my friend invited me to see it with her and actually seeing the movie proved me wrong.
Shrek,as the tag line states:The greatest fairy talk never told.Shrek is about an ogre named Shrek who's independent,intimate and a complete slob for an ogre.All Shrek wants to be is alone in his home which is located on the swamplands.He doesn't care what others think of him and will do anything and I mean ANYTHING to keep anyone off his property.One normal day,Lord Farqua,a vain and self-centered prince orders his guards to put the fairytale creatures(Pinnocio,Three Little Pigs,etc)in cages unless they are unique then they will award them money.A woman brings a donkey who she claims has the ability to speak and is rewarded tons of money if she can prove it.When the donkey doesn't speak,the guards begin to take her away until the donkey speaks and reveals to be quite a chatterbox.The donkey is on the run until he runs into Shrek who scares off the guards which is officially when the talking donkey became Donkey to the viewers.Shrek isn't exactly happy when Donkey begins to follow Shrek back home because he has no where else to go.Not soon after,all the fairytale creatures uncaptured have escaped to Shrek's land and won't leave unless Lord Farqua lets them all live in peace again.Shrek then journeys to Lord Farqua's kingdom to compromise a trade:Shrek does something for Lord Farqua and he brings harmony back to the lands.Farqua wants Shrek to journey to a castle guarded by a fearsome dragon where Princess Fiona,the woman Farqua wants to marry is trapped.Shrek does as he says and goes to the castle along with his new companion Donkey to save Fiona and have his swampland back.However,Shrek gets more out of his journey then just his life back.He finds new friendships,a great adventure and a deep romance with Fiona.
This movie was fantastic.Shrek and Donkey make the perfect comic duo in the whole movie.Fiona provided laughs as well.The parts when she fought Robin Hood's crew was hilarious and well animated.I never did expect Fiona to actually be an ogre too.The ending was cool with Donkey singing I'm a Believer along with the other characters playing the instruments.The karaoke at the very end was hilarious and enjoyable for audiences of all age.The lines were cleverly written and the animation was superb.I rate this movie a 9/10.
