Finally...

Rating: Null/10 (5 July 2004)

A film that lampoons the ever popular kiddy fairy tale genre! I don't know about you, but I've gotten pretty tierd of some of these stupid pixy dust piece of crap movies. I've been ready for something to blow it to pieces, and by the grace of the almighty god, we were given Shrek.
*spoilers dead ahead*
Like I said, Shrek makes fun of the run of the mill Disney fairy tale film. It's about this Oger named Shrek who lives in a swamp long ago. He lives in solitude (except for the occasional angry mob trying to kill him). Unfortuitly, for him and "fairy tale things"-(from the film)across the land, lord farquad, who is basically in charge of the place, says that all the fairy tales people must be taken to the swamp of Shrek's residence. Well to say the least, Shrek is not happy about this, so with his new donkey friend (whom he saved earlier) they we're on there way to protest to Lord Farquad. They finally get there (by the way his castle is a Disneyland wanna be). Shrek and donkey stumble upon the "royal arena" where something is going on (im not quite sure what). Anyway, as expected, everyone is afraid of shrek, and Farquad orders his knights to kill Shrek and donkey. Well, Shrek and donkey end up in a WWF style fight with the kinghts that is just hilarious. Because of this, Fraquad sends Shrek on a quest to find princess Fiona (you see, the talking mirror from Snow White told him that he should marry her, another hilarious scene). If Shrek finds Fiona and returns to Dulock (the name of the kingdom)with her, he gets the swomp back.
This is surly a classic film, one that was completely different and extremely funny. With an all-star cast (Mike Myers, Eddie Murhpy, Camron Diaz, and John Ligthow) this is a delightful movie that everyone can enjoy. Thank you dreamworks, this is surly your trademark film. By the way, Shrek was such a great movie, they made a new category in the academy awards because of it (best animated film), if thats not the mark of a legendary film, I don't know what is.
