Summary: Great. Not sick of it yet.
Review: Since we purchased this in early December, my kids have seen it at least 100 times. I've had to sit through it considerably less, but I must admit that despite the repitition, this is still one good video.

Summary: Funny, but not all that.
Review: SHREK obviously has received a lot of praise from movie critics and audiences world-wide. Well, I decided to rent this DVD to see what all the fuss was about since I didn't go and see it in theaters. I have to say that as hilarious as it is, SHREK was not the best film I've ever seen. I have to say that I enjoyed exploring all the special features more than the movie itself! The DVD is quite excellent and a good treat to all fans of DVDs. The computer animation of the film is pretty well-done, too (though I tend not to like computer animation and prefer the regular cartoon drawing animation). And the voice performances are one of the best parts of the film!SHREK stars Mike Myers as the voice of Shrek--a giant, friendly ogre, Eddie Murphy as the voice of Donkey--Shrek's sidekick who is obviously a donkey, Cameron Diaz as the voice of Princess Fiona--who's not like any normal princess and does not act like a princess, and John Lithgow as the voice of Lord Farquaad--the evil lord who has proved all fairy tales politically incorrect. SHREK basically spoofs all Disney animated movies, but it does it in a way which young children can enjoy and not in a gross way like what SCARY MOVIE did to teen horror movies. But the movie is not the best part--the special features on this DVD is the best part! On this DVD, you can go behind-the-scenes to the world of Shrek. You can play games, read fake biographies and listen to fake interviews with the main characters, and a lot more. If you loved the movie SHREK, than this DVD is highly recommended. But if you just love good DVDs and need more good DVDs for your collection, then buy this DVD for the special features! It is a good DVD and good movie.

Summary: Breakout movie for Dreamworks animation
Review: I think Shrek is the breakout movie for Dreamworks animation. Compared to their other computer animated effort, Antz, the animation and character design are much more advanced and pleasing to look at. Compared to their traditionally-animated fare, Shrek has story, characters, and an attitude that doesn't worry about trying to out-Disney Disney. Good stuff!

Summary: ...bland, but the satire is great!...
Review: ...the best things about shrek are the site gags, but then again i'm the type of person who loves sarcasm!! the plot was predictable, but most plots are, especially with films that try to appeal to many audiences. eddie murphy has his moments but he got on my ... nerves after about ten minutes ... it's not a bad movie, tho...but i would suggest you rent it first before you buy it.

Summary: Pretty Good for a Cartoon
Review: When you watch Shrek you will be amazed at the artistic genius that allows this computerized world to come to life. Never had a cartoon world looked so real. You could spend hours marvelling at the attention to detail the creators of this movie gave. But if you take away all of the ground breaking animation, what you have is an average movie. Mike Myers voices Shrek and does a great job but from the first scenes we know Shrek in an Ogre who only appears mean to hide the low self esteem he harbors. Nothing new here. Eddie Murphy voices the donkey, the trusty side kick to Shrek who always has a wise crack to make but is truly Shreks friend when it counts. Then there is Princess Fiona. She is your typical princess in a fairy tale, waiting to be rescued by her Prince Charming. Shrek could never decide what kind of movie it wanted to be. Parts of it are satire on Disney films, parts are satire on fairy tales, and parts are blatant morality tales. If the creators had settled on one path, they would have had a better movie... Maybe I'm so down on this movie because others love it so much. This is a good movie, just not the best movie that was ever made. Of course I'm an adult. Kids will love it.

Summary: An Excellent Animated Treat
Review: Adults will enjoy this movie with it's vast array of stars. With humorous performances by Mike Myers as the voice of Shrek, Eddie Murphy as The Donkey, Cameron Diaz as Princess Fiona, John Lithgow as Lord Farquad and the supporting cast of "Fairy Tale Things" this movie was truly a funny movie. It begins with the introduction of Shrek, an enormous green ogre who lives alone in a swamp. Then through a twist of fate, Eddie Murphy as the hilarious talking donkey enters Shrek's life as his un-invited companion. Shrek then finds his swamp bombarded with "Fairy Tale Things", including a decapitated Gingerbread Man as well as the Three Blind Mice and Three Little Pigs and hundreds of other creatures who were forced onto Shrek's property by the evil Lord Farquad. Shrek then begins a journey to see Lord Farquad to remove the creatures from his property, who sends him on a journey to rescue the beautiful Princess Fiona from the fiery dragon to be his bride so that he may become King. The action is non-stop as are the laughs in this movie. The ending has the usual twist with hilarious outakes and a kareoke scene by all the characters at the end. Overall, this film is a must-see for children and adults alike.

Summary: Best movie of 2001 ?
Review: Cameron Diaz' second best film (after 'Something About Mary'), Mike Myers' best, and could it be that Eddie Murphy has finally found his calling as the voice of animal sidekicks? All around, a solid, imaginative, and genuinely funny -- for kids and adults -- movie.

Summary: Loved this movie!!
Review: This film is beautifully done, and extremely clever. Adults will find that they want to watch it at least twice, to catch all the sight gags, puns etc.that kids probably wouldn't get.The DVD, with it's games and backgrond info was great.P.S. Does anyone else out there think that Dreamworks got in a few digs at Disney, using many of the characters immortalized in Disney classics???Be sure to watch all the way to the end, to see the big musical finale. Where else can you see Snow White doing the Macarena?
