I loved the first movie, and this one's pretty damn good, too. The characters, both old and new, are great, and there's plenty of satire and heart to keep things fresh. Far from a lazy rehash, this is a fun and inventive continuation of the story.

Shrek 2 is a great sequel to a very good film. It improves on one simple thing from the original, the consistency to its tone, and that makes a world of difference. Everything works slightly better than it did in the first film, and instead of a tonal shift, all of the elements blend together to create a wonderful experience. That is done without sacrificing a simple and straightforward narrative. Shrek was taken and made better. This is a sequel done right.

Shrek 2 is definitely the best of the sequels and it baffles me why it receives so much negative criticism. It certainly lacks the freshness of its predecessor. But otherwise the humour still caters for all and adults will appreciate the pop culture references and soundtrack. The characters remain as loveable as ever. Myers, Murphy & Diaz are all once again on top form and Banderas, Cleese, Saunders & Everett are all worthy additions. Shrek 2 is thoroughly enjoyable and criminally underrated.

I'm not a huge fan of the Shrek franchise. But in this film and this film alone, it manages to find its footing as a successful satire and nails it, pretty much. I go against the grain here, but THIS is the movie in the Shrek franchise that I found the most original.

A smart and funny continuation of the Shrek franchise. Eddie Murphy as Donkey is still hilarious and Antonio Banderas as Puss In Boots is a great addition to the cast. The final forty minutes charges along with great panache and adventure. I love Jennifer Saunders, but she could have been given more to do with the Fairy Godmother role . . . or at least better songs to sing.

Re-watching it now, it's weird how much this movie screams 'early-to-mid 2000s family blockbuster'. Its a good film, but unfortunately the humor style it employs was so successful that just about every mainstream animated film since has tried to copy it, making it seem unoriginal and annoying now. A shame, because this really is a solid family film. There's something for every age group.

This movie is way more funny than it has any right to be. I love the biting satire of the Shrek movies, but they are legitimately hilarious, a little daring, and really well acted and directed. Sure, the themes and freshness of the first movie aren’t so present here, but it’s still a damn good time. I love it even more than the first.

It's a pretty delightful sequel all things considered. I wouldn't say it's tops the first one, but it stands in it's own merits, and it's synopsis is something that I'm sure older kids and adults can relate to and convey in some form. It's funny, charming, and has a purpose of existing. You see a lot of animated films, especially sequels, that don't really have a reason for existing (Emoji movie comes to mind) aside from making money. I appreciate that this went for something.

Shrek 2 is a monumental success. Everything which was good about the original is both celebrated and subverted. Leading to not only a rare sequel better than the original, but something which truly defines what a sequel should be in ways most follow ups only dream of. Not to mention the film is hysterically funny.

Just gotta love Shrek whether you're a die-hard action fan or a drama till the end nut. The grumpy ogre comes through in the laughs department for young and old. Think my favorite part of the entire movie is trying to spot all the pop-culture references in it. Obvious ones like Cops and the catnip, with less obvious like the "Sir Justin" poster over Fiona's bed. I'm a 21 year old guy and i love these movies. Should just tell you how broad of a spectrum they please!

This is a fun movie with a mixture of funny jokes. Grown up problems and kid friendly action mixed together nicely. IMO, people who hate this film are probably sociopaths. I do not get hating this wonderful film. It's fun time for both the kids and the parents. Also the Donkey is the best acting Eddie Murphy ever did. If you can't see that then you have no right talking about cinema. This great animation deserved more than 3 academy awards. Animation, acting, original scenario, directing...

Puss in Boots is a strong addition to the cast and the novelty of the human Shrek sequence of the film is enjoyable. The Shrek / Fiona romance drama stuff felt a bit like reheated leftovers from the first film and there were bits I found Donkey as annoying as Shrek did. Animation has improved over three years, naturally. Giant Gingerbread Man sequence pretty funny. A respectable second installment.

Shrek 2 continues the Shrek storyline and it tells a simple, at times, interesting story. Much of the cast returns in this trip back to Far Far Away, Princess Fiona's hometown. The ogres are going to meet Fiona's parents to have their union blessed. Antonio Banderas' Puss in Boots is the biggest addition to the cast along with Jennifer Saunders' Fairy Godmother but it's easy to tell that Puss in Boots is charged with moving the series forward. It was a cute movie but not as good as the OG.

While not being terrible, it takes the worst aspects of the original and tries to stretch them into a full film. Diaz has a larger role and she was the weakest aspect of the first film. It also double- and triples-down on the pop-culture references with only occasional success. Maybe it was just my hope that this would play more into the satirical aspects of the original.

How many pop-culture jokes can we fit into one movie? I don't know, let's ask Dreamworks! Shrek 2 follows a very typical comedy sequel formula: Reinforce the very basic jokes from the first movie, load the plot up with several new celebrities, be even zanier than before! Although some of the sight gags are funny, and there are a few entertaining segments, most of the humor derives from pop culture jokes that, even in 2004, are already pretty dated (does anyone even care about Cops anymore?) a
