Simply A Masterpiece

Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Crappy film

A Masterpiece!

The best thing to come from these movies is the memes, and that's not saying much. The animation in this thing is terrible, and the plot is boring. The characters are dumb. Some scenes are funny, but not enough to make this thing worth watching.

Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb In the shape of an "L" on her forehead Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running Didn't make sense not to live for fun Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb So much to do, so much to see So what's wrong with taking the back streets? You'll never know if you don't go You'll never shine if you don't glow Hey now, you're an all-star, get your game on, go play Hey now, you're a rock star, get the show on, get paid And all that glitters is gold Only shooting stars break the mold It's a cool place and they say it gets colder You're bundled up now, wait till you get older But the meteor men beg to differ Judging by the hole in the satellite picture The ice we skate is getting pretty thin The water's getting warm so you might as well swim My world's on fire, how about yours? That's the way I like it and I never get bored Hey now, you're an all-star, get your game on, go play Hey now, you're a rock star, get the show on, get paid All that glitters is gold Only shooting stars break the mold Hey now, you're an all-star, get your game on, go play Hey now, you're a rock star, get the show, on get paid And all that glitters is gold Only shooting stars Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas? I need to get myself away from this place I said yep what a concept I could use a little fuel myself And we could all use a little change Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running Didn't make sense not to live for fun Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb So much to do, so much to see So what's wrong with taking the back streets? You'll never know if you don't go (go!) You'll never shine if you don't glow Hey now, you're an all-star, get your game on, go play Hey now, you're a rock star, get the show on, get paid And all that glitters is gold Only shooting stars break the mold And all that glitters is gold Only shooting stars break the mold

As this sequel begins the dashing Prince Charming races to rescue Princess Fiona from the Dragon's Tower and learns she is no longer there; she is on her honeymoon. Meanwhile Fiona and Shrek are just getting home to the swamp. They haven't been back long when they receive an invitation to visit Fiona's parents; the King and Queen of the country of Far, Far away. Shrek thinks it is a bad idea that is bound to end in disaster but Fiona insists and they end up going, along with Donkey. Once they arrive it would appear that Shrek was right; Fiona's father isn't happy with her choice of husband and is soon plotting to get rid of him. He isn't the only person wanting Shrek out of the way; Fairy Godmother is keen to get him out of the picture so Fiona can marry her son; Prince Charming.Sequels that are as good as the original aren't all that common but this is a good example of one that is just as good. Most of the original characters are back again; although this time Fiona spends most of the time as an ogre, which I preferred. There are also plenty of great new characters; most notably Puss in Boots, a feline Zorro voiced by Antonio Banderas; Fairy Godmother, the villain of the film voiced by Jennifer Saunders and Fiona's Parents, voiced by John Cleese and Julie Andrews. There is plenty of action throughout as well as a good number of laughs. There are also lots of references to other films that should be a treat for older viewers without spoiling the enjoyment for youngsters. We also get a good number of well-known songs; the most entertaining being when Fairy Godmother sings 'Holding Out for a Hero' at the ball. Overall I'd certainly recommend this to anybody who enjoyed the original.

Wonderfully funny and fun.Picking up where the first Shrek movie left off, Shrek and Fiona are now happily married and living in Shrek's house in the swamp. Donkey reappears, much to Shrek and Fiona's annoyance. The King and Queen of Far Far Away hear of their daughter's (Fiona) marriage and invite Shrek and Fiona to the palace to celebrate. When the King discover's that Shrek is an ogre he is immediately opposed to the marriage. Prince Charming, who is determined to marry Fiona, appears and he and the King band together to separate Shrek and Fiona and get Fiona to marry Prince Charming. The Fairy Godmother also appears, and she is not as benevolent as you think.Good fun, with some great jokes. Mixes medieval settings with modern in-jokes and parodies. Quite clever, some of the jokes - definitely not just a movie for kids. Rollicks along at a good pace. There are some silly sub-plots but these don't consume too much of the time and are glossed over through the frenetic pace.Great use of well-known characters from children's fables, eg Puss in Boots, Pinocchio, The Three Little Pigs.Superb animation, as you would expect from DreamWorks. Spot-on voice casting too. Pick of the bunch, for me, is Jennifer Saunders as the Fairy Godmother. She gets some of the best lines and her deliver is brilliant.There is a large amount of music in the movie, not to the extent that it is a musical (thankfully), but enough to make it more than just background. The songs are a bit hit-and-miss. Some (eg Eels' "I need some sleep") fit in well with the movie and help the tone, while others just feel like populist fluff. On the whole, the choice of music hinders more than helps the movie.Overall, an entertaining way to spend 1 1/2 hours or so.
