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.

Do you love pop culture references? How about mediocre children's movies that feel the need to add in terrible "adult" comedy? If so, have I got a movie for you!

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.

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.

A worthy addition to this world. I loved the first so much, I was worried how this one would turn out, but they managed to find the same magic they found in the first film, and enhance it rather than trying to beat it dead.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

Although the humour remains intact, the theatrical and musical elements have been exaggerated, spoiling the movie for me. It might be aimed slightly more at adults, but ultimately it fails to fully please both audiences as much as the original did. The fully musical ending was just terrible, along with the frankly dire choice of songs. Why do producers seem to feel them necessary? Overall, a downer on the first film, but is still decent.

Disappointing. You can just see the writers struggling hard to find some decent plot - and failing. The very beginning is promising, but then it changes rapidly and the rest of the movie goes along the lines of "now donkey says something funny, Shrek says something not-so-funny and then we'll put a song in there and have some dancing". Over and over again. Gets pretty boring quickly.

Pretty clever, if shallow, kids movie. It's funny throughout, though it's missing the pathos and warmth of the best Pixar films. Also, I really didn't like the awful teeny bopper covers of classic rock and punk songs - just play the originals!
