Review: 'Shrek 2' even better than 'Shrek'! (spoiler!)

Dashken · 21st May 2004, 11:17 PM

Spoilers ahead. For those who haven't watch it yet, please don't read on. I watched it today, it's GOOD! A definite "MUST-WATCH"!

Quote:

(CNN) -- "Shrek 2" is a Hollywood rarity: a sequel every bit as good -- if not better -- than the original.

The whole gang is back and then some. Mike Myers returns as the voice of the lovable ogre Shrek; Cameron Diaz is once again Princess Fiona, now happily married to the ogre of her life; and Eddie Murphy is still spouting one-liners, providing marvelous comic relief as Donkey.

Fiona and her main man are settling down into domestic bliss when her parents, the King (John Cleese) and Queen (Julie Andrews) of the Kingdom of Far Far Away command them to attend a royal ball. Now, they're the ones who sent Fiona into exile in the first place, due to her annoying habit of turning into an ogre when the sun sets.

The parents' plan was for Prince Charming (Rupert Everett) to rescue her, thereby breaking the curse and making her beautiful 24/7. It didn't work, because Shrek rescued her first, but the King and Queen haven't yet learned that yet -- nor do they know that the couple is married. (As always, the parents are the last to know.)

I loved the movie, but I think it was just as good as the first. Not any better or worse. It's another one to add to my DVD collection!
I saw it opening day in Aurora.
(For those who don't know, the theaters have been crowded once when I have gone there, and that was for Dawn of the Dead, it's almost a guarantee you will get in. Even with the Matrix Trilogy you could get there 5 minutes before it starts and get a good seat.)

Waaa... guarantee can get in? Even during weekends?

The cinema I watched at no ppl coz it was Friday.

Shrek 2 for me is much better. The variety of characters are GOOD!
