"Shrek" is everything that a great movie should be

Rating: 10/10 (3 December 2001)

I was a bit skeptical before I first saw "Shrek". It had so much hype from everyone I knew who had seen it, and whenever I encounter that, I immediately think the worst. Most films of that nature do not live up to that hype...but this one not only lives up to it, but far surpasses it. This is a must watch for anyone in need of a laugh. Big green ogres? A fantasy land peopled by so called "fairy tail creatures"? Yup, it happened. And why not? The viewing public was overdue for a film such as this, and it got what it had coming. The computer animated film is virtually flawless to the eye, and the storyline is both clever and utterly hilarious. The cast of all star voices backs up state of the art technology to create a film that will live on for years to come as a great masterpiece and breakthrough in the art of filmmaking. Really? Yes, really really!
