I was very happy with this continuation of Shrek's adventure... It was like a combination of "Nutty Professor" comedy meets a happy fairytale...It was hilarious and an overall good time! Non-stop laughing! Great movie! "Puss N' Boots" was a great addition... Full review

If you are looking for a great time at the movies, this is where it's at. There are laughs coming from all the characters throughout the whole movie. There are also many movies it pokes fun at, which is cool. It... Full review

I thought this movie would be worse than the first Shrek but it actually turned out to be really good. This is a tale of love and comedy. Mike Myers and Eddie Murphy star in this sequel. John Cleese and... Full review

I much preferred this sequel, even though I also liked the original, too, as millions of other viewers - kids and adults - did. This second edition, to me, was better than the first one for the following reasons:1 -... Full review

I imagined this film to be a crap, because it is almost a rule with few exceptions,that second movies are always terrible in comparison with the first ones. But not this one. I cannot say that I liked Shrek2 more... Full review
Respectable effort with a tough act to follow

Shrek 2 has as much humor, talent, and fun as the original classic, and almost as much heart. The film picks up where Shrek left off, with Fiona and Shrek celebrating their marriage, but they are immediately cast into a... Full review

Let me lead with the positive: The humor was great, including some fantastic parody that often exceeded the high standard set by the first film. And I actually thought that the final message of the story is more sweetly straightforward (and... Full review

Transcending the Genre
Dec 04, 2004
rserrano - imdb.com
In many ways, Shrek 2 is to fairy tales, what Kill Bill:Vol.2 is to the Kung Fu genre. Although these are very different movies, both spoof all previous movies of their type and are loaded with insider allusions (just look... Full review

Shrek 2 is a fun movie to watch for the whole family and it improves over the original. Shrek 2 continues the story with Shrek (voiced by Mike Myers) going with his new wife, Fiona (Cameron Diaz), to meet his... Full review

Christianity Today
When we bade farewell to the happily honeymooning ogres Shrek (Mike Myers) and Fiona (Cameron Diaz), it seemed like a "happily ever after" ending. Shrek 2 has the "beauties" of Beverly Hills in its sights. ... Full Review

Shrek 2 is pretty disappointing, although it passes the time. Whereas Shrek had a wonderful soundtrack - a great closing song and music that complemented the images - Shrek 2 has an over-the-top song list, too many song-and-dance numbers, and was just too loud. ... Full Review

While often funny enough to make you smile, Shrek 2 never induces any laughter, nor does it deliver an engaging story to keep the audience from dozing off. When Prince Charming informs his mother, the Fairy Godmother (Jennifer Saunders), about the horrible turn of events, she quickly devises a plan that will trick Fiona into falling for the Prince before Shrek and his band of misfits can stop her. ...

Following an acrimonious dinner with his father-in-law, Shrek reminds Fiona: "I am an ogre. Returning home to the swamp, wanting to be alone with Fiona (whom he loves for who she is), Shrek finds Donkey lounging in his abode because his Dragon bride (you'll have to wait until the credits to see her make an appearance) has been very moody. ...

Shrek 2" is brighter and better looking than its predecessor, though the DreamWorks team still isn't at the level of rival Pixar in terms of computer animation artistry. Shrek is something of a poignant hero here and not terribly ogre-like; Myers obviously wasn't being paid per giggle generated. ... Full Review
