Review: Shrek 2
The sequel to the Dreamworks animation hit doesn’t let down.
The beauty of Shrek was the endless amount of comedy fused into a magical fairy tale story with amazing animation. But it’s not just children’s comedy, there’s tons of jokes here and there that only adults would get, or adults would understand in a different context. That’s what makes Shrek so great. Shrek 2 is no different. There are many movie and television references, some more obvious than others, spoofs of clothing stores and fast food restaurants, and a few stabs at fairy tale characters.
But it’s not just the comedy that makes Shrek great. It’s the way it taps into real life in a fairy tale setting. Often when you read a fairy tale or watch a fairy tale movie, well, you know it’s a fairy tale. Sometimes it’s hard to relate to the characters. Shrek sticks in things from real life, into an unrealistic world, and makes fun of it all. In this story Shrek and Fiona are married and they head back to the kingdom of Far Far Away to meet Fiona’s parents. The father in-law and Shrek don’t hit it off, and they each find their way to deal with the problem. I don’t want to give anything else away.
The animation had many moments as well. There were many technological achievements. Most impressive to me was how the rain affected the characters. How Donkey’s fur got wet, and how the little drops of water fell on Shrek’s face, were very impressive.
Voice acting was great all around. Mike Myers and Eddie Murphy do what they do best. New character, Puss ‘n Boots, played by Antonio Banderas fit in fine. I didn’t care for the end song they all sang. It’s a bit annoying and dated, but they recorded all this years ago before most of the animation got under way.
All in all, the movie doesn’t disappoint. It’s not as good as the first, but still good for a bunch of laughs. I think there was just some magic missing from this one that the first one had. The story didn’t flow well sometimes. Maybe too much time was spent with the king and queen, and the fairy godmother, when more should have been spent with Shrek, Donkey, and Fiona. Still, I highly recommend this one. And don’t leave right at the credits, or you’ll miss a great scene.
