Summary: Shrek, the PERFECT film
Review: I loved 'Shrek' from the first time I saw it at the theater, and left thinking, 'that soundtrack was great.' I especially liked the track, 'Halleluiah' by Leonard Cohen.Since then, I've made a digital recording (Tivo) of 'Shrek' and watched it 10+ times. (My wife says, 'Are you watching Shrek again? Well, yes I am ...) From the opening minute to the closing credits, this film is a delight - visually, musically, and narratively. There isn't a wasted minute. And that is why I consider it a perfect film. From beginning to end you will be thoroughly entertained. I love Mike Myers' voice as Shrek, and the animation gives him a real heart. Eddie Murphy as Donkey is superb. I guess Eddie might not appreciate this, but Shrek is a high point in his career. His constant prattle is hilarious. I still laugh outloud at his lines, and 10+ times later, I still cry when he meets Dragon at the stream. The pop-culture references - 'Matrix' and 'Disney World' get reamed - still seem very fresh to me. And then Lord Farquaad meets his demise and Donkey exclaims, 'Celebrity marriages. They never last!' It's a very clever script, beautifully animated, beautifully execited. There's a sweet message in Shrek, and it touches the heart. It richly deserved the 2002 Oscar for 'Best Animated Film'. I just wonder, wasn't it the best film of 2002? Yes.

Summary: Excellent cartoon for ALL ages!
Review: When Shrek was on the theaters i didn't see it although many of my friends and relatives did. I wasn't much fond of cartoon movies and I was a bit uncertain about spending my money in one.
When the movie was on VHS I rented it, a bit reluctanctly must say, and took it home. I have to say I haven't laughed that loud and much for years!
You could say children will be more addicted to it, I concede that, but also adults will find entertainment and enjoy a bit more than an hour of fine humor. The plot is really well thought and it makes fun of all those fairy tales you used to read when little (like Cinderella, Snowwhite and such).
The voices are excellent and Mike Myers & Eddie Murphy characterizations are superb!
As soon as I bought my DVD this was the very first movie I got, and I watch it regularly from time to time once and again. Wish you could enjoy it as much as I did!

Review: I love shrek because it shows that cartoons aren't only for kids and it's not afraid to put some crude humor in there and I hate it when parents complain about a cartoon or movies having bad lingo then they say the four letter word in front of there kids.

Summary: Funny! Fun! You'll watch it Over & Over!
Review: This is one movie that never makes it to the bottom of our pile of movies! I have young children and they almost have the movie memorized! (as do I!!)
Shrek is about an Ogre and a talking Donkey on a journey to rescue a Princess from a fire-breathing dragon so that Shrek can get his swamp back from all of the Fairy Tale creatures that have been evicted by Lord Farquaad in an attempt to make himself more popular.
There is so much adult humor in this movie!! In all the times I've seen the movie - I still catch something new I missed the first 25 times around!! The animation is awesome! There's even a song at the end with all of the fairy tale creatures involved - be sure not to stop & rewind too early!!
This movie will keep you watching and laughing the whole way thru! Worth buying! Gather friends and watch as a group- the laughs will be even bigger!!
**a word of caution to parents, there is one (and only 1 time, I think) naughty word in here...what's another name for a donkey? Once explained to my kids - they don't even 'hear' it.**

Summary: Hilarious!!!
Review: For some strange reason the first time I watched this movie, I didn't find it that funny. But on my second viewing I was dying out laughing! I loved Donkey! He was the highlight of this movie, in my opinion. The only reason I'm giving this movie four stars is that I've watched it SO many times that it's kind of getting tiring to watch it.

Summary: loads of fun
Review: A fun and funny movie, Shrek delivers us with good fun! This movie is a great family movie ... Entertaining and smart is what 2 say about this movie. The characters in this movie is so funny. Can be a little disgusting at times but- hey, that's half the fun! The DVD is loaded with lots of extras. The movie is great and it's on a great DVD! Shrek is a ogre that everyone's afraid of. He ends up meeting a talking donkey with a sense of humor who follows him on a journey 2 try and save a fiesty, knows how to kick some butt, princess 2 get his swamp(home, privacy) back. But on the quest he finds out a little secret about the princess that's well- funny! Great family entertainment. Loads of fun! Loads of laughs! It's a good one from Dreamworks! ***** (5 stars)

Summary: Shrek is one of the most idiotic and tasteless movies ever!
Review: For anyone who hasn't seen Shrek yet, and cannot decide whether to purchase this movie or not-please do not throw your money away on this film. Shrek is vulgar and disgusting. One cannot believe that this is what humanity has been reduced to in the twenty-first century. Shrek is not for anyone who has any beauty in their heart or any intelligence in their soul. I only wish I could rate this video 0 stars!

Summary: The funniest animated film I have yet seen
Review: When SHREK came out in 2001, I was immediately convinced that it might be something of a breakthrough for CGI film. While TOY STORY and the other Pixar films had been first rate and enormously entertaining, they were still primarily targeted at children. SHREK, on the other hand, seemed clearly targeted at both an adult and child audience. The humor appeals to kids, but has more of an adult sophistication. It reminded me a bit of the original Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoons in this way, just as the movie as a whole seems akin to their Fractured Fairy Tales. Whether the film is a breakthrough will be determined by what comes after it, but at the very least, it indicated that CGI could be used not merely to adorn a more adult tale, as in THE LORD OF THE RINGS or THE HULK, but could be used to create the entire movie. The movie contains more wonderful moments of parody than in any other animated film. The pastiche on Robin Hood (voiced by the French actor who played the bad guy in BROTHERHOOD OF THE WOLF) was superb, as was the brief take off on THE MATRIX during that sequence. And no lover of the movie BABE will miss the great moment when Shrek pets Donkey on the head and says, "That'll do mule, that'll do." Lord Farquaad's Dulac definitely is a parody of Disneyland, and there are scores of take offs on a variety of "Fairyland Creatures." The movie even ends on a parodic note, with the Gingerbread Man mimicking Tiny Tim. The movie looks awesome. I have seen parts of this film a dozen or so times by now, and no part of it fails to be an utter delight to look at. And while the figures all move a little stiffly, their appearance is a huge leap forward for CGI animation. My only concern is with the teeth. Why do teeth look so odd in CGI? I'm sure they will fix it eventually, but the teeth need to look a heck of a lot more natural than they already do. Interestingly, the huge, exaggerated teeth of Shrek and Donkey are less of a bother than Princess Fiona. In most animated films, the voices usually could be better accomplished by professional voice-over artists, or as well done by a score of other performers. That is not the case in SHREK, and unquestionably the case for Mike Meyers and Eddie Murphy. It is not an exaggeration to assert that in both cases this is some of the best work either has done in film. Like many fans of the film, I am delighted that all four principles. In SHREK 4-D, a 15-minute short, Lord Farquaad returns as a ghost, which I assume will be how he will appear in the sequel. In whatever form, his reappearance will be welcomed. This will definitely be one of the films of 2004 that I will be looking most excitedly towards.
