Shrek 2 (2004)
Mature themes
After battling a fire-breathing dragon and the evil Lord Farquaad to win the hand of Princess Fiona, Shrek now faces his greatest challenge: the in-laws. Shrek and Princess Fiona return from their honeymoon to find an invitation to visit Fiona’s parents, the King and Queen of the Kingdom of Far, Far Away. With Donkey along for the ride, the newlyweds set off. All of the citizens of Far, Far Away turn out to greet their returning Princess, and her parents happily anticipate the homecoming of their daughter and her new Prince. But no one could have prepared them for the sight of their new son-in-law, not to mention how much their little girl had…well…changed.
Little do Shrek and Fiona know that their marriage had foiled all of her father’s plans for her future…and his own. Now the King must enlist the help of a powerful Fairy Godmother, the handsome Prince Charming and that famed ogre killer Puss in Boots to put right his version of happily ever after.

Sheer brilliance. The mind boggles at the incredible talent of all the fields that come together to make these films come to life.

A great family movie. Have seen it many times.
Debra

We liked this movie. It is great to watch with children and if you know anything about english nursery rhymes and stories from the brothers Grimm, as well as all the other childrens stroies, you can understand all the characters that appear in this movie.

green and mean with a message about inner beauty and lots post modern/subversive flourishes

Excellent - loved the first one and was a bit hesitant about a sequel, but we weren't disappointed. Funny, good storyline, loved the subtle adult humour too. Highly recommend. Love that cat!!!

Yep, it's for kids, but IT HAS A STORY! Unlike many movies out today that rely on special effects and "in" adult jokes that are over kids heads, this story is good. There are enough spoofs for adults to keep them amused, but they aren't so obvious that grandkids get lost and lose the plot. Good family viewing.

Shrek2 is a great family movie and well worth watching, the special CGI is fantastic and you could almost think they are real, once again a really great movie and I look forward to Shrek3 coming out soon.

Much fun provided by trying to name all the films cross-referenced, generally by what were great original ideas copied so frequently as to become cliches.

One for the whole family, love these movies (one and two) and so do the kids all the way from ages 2 1/2 to 15! If your looking for the movie you can have with a family pizza night, This is it!!
Paul G.
says
Even better than the fantastic first Shrek, Just an all round great family movie with a stellar cast and some of the funniest one liners and gags you will ever see. Puss in boots is hilarious. Brilliant.

Watch for the 'tronics .. not so sure about the script or character development - go with the flow anyway.. a must see with the 8-10 brigade?
Trudy A.
says
I'd heard and read all the hype about how terrible this movie was compared to Shrek 1. I was delighted to find that for a fairy story (which is what it is) it was thoroughly enjoyable, and poked fun at a few fairy story conventions.

It is a good family movie that everyone can watch.

A movie that you could watch over and over again and still enjoy each time. A must see for everyone; young and old! This would have to rate in my top 10 movies of all time with its creative story and scripting, clever one liners and realistic animation. The voices are perfect for each character and bring them to life. A lot of work has gone into making this film a classic to remember...

mja

Better than the original. This has it all. Something for the kids to laugh at and the adults will love it as well. The animation is superb and the storyline simple enough for the kids to follow but will also delight the adults. The star of the show is without a doubt Puss.......In Boots.
Gianni Fogale
says
Oliver
says
Great entertainment for kids and adults, just like the first one.
Craig Hill
says
If you liked the first Shrek then you will like this one as the story just flows on from the first. Great entertainment for the whole family , just hope Dreamworks stop it there and don't go on and ruin the quality of the story with endless Shrek sequels as Hollywood is prone to do.
Patrick Laverty
says
So much better than first one.
Bryce Hobson

Gold!

Definitely worth watching, though not quite as good as the first movie. Becaue I'd seen the CD trailer, I felt as though I'd seen nearly all the best bits, and the element of surprise wasn't there. If you haven't seen the trailer, you may enjoy itmore.
