Summary: Like a Disney film, only not...
Review: This has to be the best animated flick I've seen since Princess Mononoke (not to parents PM is PG-13). It cleverly satirizes the many annoying things about Disney. It is good to see an animated film succeed that isn't made by the Mouse. Disney has made a lot of infantile movies and almost destroyed animation as a creative artform. With Shrek there might be hope for the medium of animation inside of America after all.

Summary: Not suitable!
Review: Shrek, has it's good points but it is completely not suitable for children, there are noticable sexual jokes throughout the entire movie. I saw it with my 8 year old neice, and believe me, she knew what they where talking about, and the reason that she does is because she has seen it on TV. It's sad when you can't take a young child to a supposedly family friendly movie, because it is too inapropriate. Shrek didn't need to throw in adult humour to satisfy the parents, it would have been a completely enjoyable movie with out those kind of jokes.

Summary: Great film...Good DVD...Lame extras
Review: While the movie is as good as it's gonna get and the quality of the audio and video on the DVD are excellent, it's fair to say that the extras are not worth it.As for the film, Shrek is a funny, smart and wicked look at fairy tales, with the ocassional pun on Disney. The quality of the CGI is extraordinary, showing great detail and improved character movement -- check out the grass, the trees, the pouring of milk, the beer mud and the hair on the donkey, all truly amazing. The voice talent is also quite good, with an outstanding performance by Eddie Murphy. The extras on this DVD are what are a real disappointment (at least for me). Differently from other studios, Dreamworks decided to include both the full-screen and the widescreen versions (one on each disc), instead of releasing two different versions - this takes up a lot of memory so two discs are needed. Then, the technical goofs are not entertaining, or informative, or even amusing (except maybe for the 'chia donkey' thingee), the character interviews are boring, the international dubbing feature is a waste of time, the Xbox playing hints are of no use as is the storyboard pitch of deleted scenes. Not all extras are bad, mind you, as there's a lot of stuff in there for the kiddies, and Shrek's re-voice studio is fun (but you have to have DVD-ROM, though). Also, Shrek's music hall is amusing, but wears off pretty quick. Finally, the documentary 'The tech of Shrek' is probably the best extra for the grownups or for people interested in the process of making such a film (check out the screen they had made up as a forest hut, with trees, rocks and whatnot, cool!). All in all, Shrek is a very entertaining, technically amazing, funny movie, but just a good DVD -- buy it for the film!

Summary: An instant classic for everyone.
Review: Go buy this movie. Trust everyone on this. This movie is one of those instant classics that appeal to people of all ages. For the kids you have the amazing animation and fairy tail characters. For adults there is a wonderful story, fantastic characters, and of course those wonderful allusions (made famous in the Simpsons and Toy Story 1+2) that just go right over kids heads but will have you rolling with laughter. Then animation and attention to detail in this film are nothing short of breathtaking. There are many times you will forget you are watching a computer-animated movie. The characters are all brilliant but the Gingerbread Man and Eddie Murphy as the talking Donkey absolutely steal every scene they are in. If you loved the Toy Stories, or you are breathing, or you even have an ounce of a sense of humor then this movie is absolutely a must have. The DVD version comes with 2 Disks. Disk one is a Standard TV width. Disk 2 is the real treasure for those with HDTV and surround sound system as it sports anamorphic widescreen (put your TV on full mode and if fills the entire screen without any sort of distortion) and a wonderful DTS soundtrack in addition to the Dolby 5.1. There is also the usual assortment of DVD goodies spread over both disks. One of the more interesting goodies is a Magic Mirror version of The Magic 8 ball. Should you buy this DVD? It is decidedly so. Why are you still reading this? Click the button to buy this movie.

Summary: Great Graphics, Great Actors, Great Movie, Great Fun
Review: What can I say about Shrek? Almost the entire civilized world knows the story of this movie by now so I'll try to entice you into buying this with what I thought of it. Shrek begins with the ogre [voiced excellently by Mike Myers] scaring some peasants off of his property in his swamp and wishing only to be kept to his privacy. Soon, he discovers that there is a bounty out on all fairy tale creature and are being located to a namely location [Shrek's swamp]. During this Shrek encounters excellent characters all perfectly voiced with a donkey being voiced by Eddie Murphy, Princess Fiona voiced by Cameron Diaz and the Evil Lord Farquaad who is superbly voiced by John Lithgow. There were very few points in this movie that I could not even remotely describe as low. The movie is hilarious as it pokes fun at Disney a lot and was found to be pretty funny. The movie overall does deserves five stars as it lives up to the hype [lack of better word] originally put into it and was ultimately very enjoyable to watch. I could watch this movie again and probably will a great deal of times as it is quite enjoyable.

Summary: Absolutely a must SEE and a must BUY
Review: This movie was incredible touching, humorous and down right entertaining. Don't let the "animation" aspect of this film fool you. The film is a must see for all ages. Mike Myers and Eddie Murphy present themselves as a dynamic duo in this film. From the small amount of potty mouth humor to the incredibly touching love story; the film has something for everyone. But hey, don't take my word for it, go out and see it for yourselves. I guarantee you'll be having it on your christmas list as a must have video for this year.

Summary: For both children and adults
Review: Consider this: a movie which is enjoyable for children but also contains humor suited for adults. Shrek flies over these borders with an excellent plot, good character development, and outrageosly funny laughs. The music surrounding the film is top notch and the creativity is phenomenol!

Summary: FUNNY, WARM AND WITTY
Review: WHAT A GREAT MESSAGE FOR AN ANIMATED FEATURE OF EXCEPTING YOURSELF FOR WHO YOU ARE. MIKE MYERS, CAMERON DIAZ, EDDIE MURPHY, AND JOHN LITHGOW DID A SPLENDID JOB.

Summary: Funniest Movie I've seen in a Long Time
Review: Shrek is absolutely hillarious - don't write it off as a silly "kid's movie." Most kids won't even get the subtle (and not so subtle) humor employed in the movie to entertain adults. Shrek has it all - romance, fighting, humor and comedy - and it's something the whole family can watch together. And of course, the movie includes an important message for kids and adults alike. If you get the DVD version of this movie you have to watch "Shrek's karaoke party" - when we first saw it, we were all cracking up non-stop!
