Summary: GREAT FOR ALL AGES!
Review: This is one of the funniest movie I have ever seen. The comedy just keeps comeing! I couldn't stop laughing! It was the best! Everyone from 2 through 202 will love it, you must buy it, you'll love it. Incase you don't know i'll give you a quick review... A big green org (who's name is Shrek) has a very peaseful life living alone in his swamp untill the king Farkwa banashes all the magical creaters to his swamp. Including a talking donkey. Shrek makes a deal with Farkwa that if he resques Princes Fiona from an evil dragon he will get his swamp back. The donkey comes with him and proves to be a big help. He resques her but they end up falling in love! There is a suprise ending too so i won't give it away but you will like it. It's the kind of movie that 3 generations call all watch together and all love. I highly highly recomend it! BUY IT TODAY!

Summary: Shrek, The Movie Only Thank You
Review: When I buy a DVD that's just loaded with extras, I get excited. I think everyone does. Behind the scene outtakes, interviews, how everything's done...Interesting.While Shrek was a really good movie (one of few I can watch with my neice and nephew), the extras just plain stink. I spend half the time selecting the wrong thing, can't get out of the menu, and the "trivia" has to be read. There's no real "extras" on this DVD. Unless you want to talk to the screen, press a button, and get an answer. I've got an 8 BALL for that, thanks.

Summary: REAL WIT AND CHARM (FOR A CHANGE)
Review: Sometimes you read a review and wonder if the writer is talking about the same version of the film that you have seen. A case in point is Shrek - how anyone can give this film one or two stars escapes me completely (unless they have round, black ears, that is!) If you thought Antz was funnier and more hard-hitting than "A Bug's Life", then you are likely to appreciate this more than Disney's computer-animated product like the Toy Story series. Before I had seen Shrek, I was rather put off it by the publicity artwork, which made it look cartoonish and basic. In fact, nothing on the billboards prepares you for the vibrancy and sharp grown-up humour of this film. And have you ever before seen a cartoon in which the heroine had (in the most tasteful possible way) a genuine female sexuality? I was told I would like this film, and watched it against my own prejudice that told me otherwise. I was delighted.

Summary: Best of its type
Review: This is one of the more entertaining films I have seen in a long time. Although a kids film, Shrek is a bit like Bugs Bunny cartoons in that it has been designed to be have a number of levels of humour which attract all age groups. The reason why it is so good is the plot density. Each scene is carefully built up not only to keep up a narrative flow but to develop a multitude of jokes and parodies. At any point there will be a number of ongoing jokes which mean that your attention is continually engaged and you are never bored. It is difficult to speculate but probably with a film using real actors the writers don't have to be as continually inventive. An audience can engage in either an adventure or a romance with real actors with reasonably limited dialogue. With an animation you probably need a lot of dialogue or action to distract an audience's attention away from the fact that the cast are animated figures. Anyway this is a classic film. All of the actors who do the voice overs, Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy and Carmen Diaz are brilliant. The plot is inovative altough it has some parrallels with Wagner's ring cycle.

Summary: I avoided this movie
Review: Like many hyped-up movies, I didn't go to see it on release because the hysteria generated around it was going to make it difficult to enjoy properly, if enjoyable it was. I got the DVD as a Christmas present, so I got to watch it with an open mind, not having paid for it. The animation is lush and colourful, especially the scenes in sunlight, which make you feel like going there for a little break (especially when you're in Scotland in the wintertime!) Shrek's Scottish accent is fairly well done but of course I couldn't say exactly what part of Scotland he's from. My criticisms are of the plot, which I find too predictable, and also the motivations of the villain weren't very well explained - maybe they can't be - WHY does Farquad want the fairytale characters locked up? For a "clean" world?? This makes me slip gears and lose speed, though the quality of the animation carries it along alright. The toilet jokes do go along with the ogre/swamp theme, so are appropriate.

Summary: Good Movie - Awesome DVD
Review: Shrek is a good laugh, a very good movie with great animation and voice talent, but by far not the best movie I've seen. This DVD makes up for anything the movie fell short of. This is the best DVD I've ever seen, there is SO much you can see and do on these DVDs its amazing. It's actually pretty fun and interesting to go through all the stuff they put in (there are two DVDs, that's how much there is). You'll find yourself spenidng a long time going through all the fun and interesting little features they packed in, and the movie looks very very good on DVD, a huge step up from the VHS version.

Summary: Hilarious!
Review: Shrek is one of the best movies I have seen ina long time. It is funny, has good animation, and has interisting characters. Characters include Shrek, who goes on a quest to get the deed to his swamp back. He has to rescue Princess Fiona (with the help of a hilarious lovable donkey that can talk) from a castle guarded by a dragon so Lord Farquaad can marry and be a king.

Summary: Shrek DVD - Special 2 Disc set
Review: Follow the story of Shrek, an dissapointed Orge, who would be left alone. When Lord Farquaad, (Voiced by John Lithgow, sends fairy tale characters (Snow White, Pinocchio,etc) in Shrek's swamp, Shrek is determinded to go to Lord Farquaad, and request that he remove the creatures he dumped into the ogre's swamp. The set contains 2 versions of the movie, fullscreen and widescreen, also with interactive games for your computer (DVD-Rom Drive needed) The only negitive remark I have is that on the Menus the Gingerman's legs break either way (Left= Left leg breaks, Right= Right leg Breaks)

Summary: Don't be the one
Review: I almost didn't write a review for this because I have yet to meet a person that has not seen the movie. This film is genuinely funny. The humor is perfect for kids and adults. The adult humor is just far enough over kids heads that they won't get it. This makes the film that much more enjoyable for adults because they are finally getting one over on the kids. The graphics are amazing. The plot is great, the music is great. If you enjoy cartoons or have kids don't bother renting the movie, just buy it. This is a top-notch film that you can enjoy over and over again.
