Summary: Hilarity at its best
Review: Shrek is easily one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. It's full of subtlties that'll keep the viewer in stitches for the duration of the film, but also has a strong, deep story behind it ... NEAR MOVIE PERFECTION, in my opinion, and I'm extremely critical with movies. My sides actually ached at times from laughing so hard, I nearly dropped my drink too:) I can't wait for this one to hit dvds, it's truely an enjoyable family film.

Summary: Good... but could have been so much better
Review: Shrek is a good movie, but it could have been so much more. The animation was excellent, the casting fine, the action slick, and the humour slightly warped but funny all the same. What left me feeling short-changed were the characters. Although the movie tried hard to move away from Disney, the characters were still two-dimensional, and stereotypical. The characters could have been fleshed out much more to give more depth and meaning to the story.

I was especially dismayed at the quick end of Lord Farquaad. The writers had not made him hateful enough for us to cheer when he was chomped up a-la-Jurassic Park style. We were not shown exactly why he drove the fairytale creatures away (*I* might be tempted to drive them away, annoying as they are!). And all he did subsequently was to be vain, selfish and pompous, but he had not done enough to be really hateful to warrant such an end.

In comparison, Toy Story 2, Toy Story and Antz were much better developed in terms of storyline and characters, even if they did not match the same standard of computer animation as Shrek.

Summary: An unexpected twist on fairy tales:
Review: I went to this movie because I have a seven year old daughter who had wanted to see this movie since she had seen the previews. Little did I expect to be as entertained as she was. SHREK is the best of both worlds: a movie the kids can understand and like while being just right for the parents to enjoy as well. While seeing the film I was reminded of all the fairy tales I had read as a child. I was relieved that Eddie Murphy's voice portrayal of the donkey character was good as I had heard. The young lady in the film is both personable and fun to watch. SHREK is the kind of creature you would like to see your daughter come home with. The ending is both fun and unexpected. I plan on going back to see the movie again - this time with my husband. Men need fairy tales too.

Summary: The Best animation movie ever!
Review: I am a big fan on computer animations films, such as Toy Story 1 and 2, and I thought it would be hard to beat them. However I saw Shrek and it did change my idea.

The graphics are great, all the background details including the sunflowers, Shrek's house, the castles and other fields are greatly depicted.

The dialogs are funny and eventough Shrek would be considered at first sight like an anti-hero ( he's green, has a big belly and not polite at all) he turns out to be envolving and you just wish everything will be fine for him.

No wonder this movie was a threat to Disney legacy, it brought a new dimension for animation.Specially by not including those boring songs in the middle of the scenes and definetly it is a movie for Children and Adults to watch and laugh together.

Summary: A Fairy Tale with a twist
Review: Great movie. Lots of fun. A tale with a moral twist and extremely entertaining. The characters and their emotions come alive and the viewer can follow the tale both emotionally and visually. Great for all ages.

Summary: Film-making and Storytelling at its FINEST!
Review: This is a "well-told tale". Full of humor at all levels. Scathingly funny for adults and a total kick for kids. Imagine 1 1/2 hours of Mike Myers doing his Scottish bit against Eddie Murphy and you might get a picture of what you're in for. John Lithgow torturing a Gingerbread man is worth the ticket alone!

This is on my list to immediately buy when it is released on DVD.

Summary: You've got to see this movie !
Review: I simply loved this movie. I even might go see it another time for I'm sure I missed some details. It's so well done that you forget that the heroes are not real but computer made ! You can actually see their feelings on their face (I unfortunately saw real actors with less expressive play !)You'll laugh and even share a few tears with them !I saw it in French and will go back for the Original version. You cannot be disapointed this really is a must !

Summary: Excellent!
Review: This was an excellent film! I saw it twice, and I didn't laugh any less than when I saw it the first time! This is one of the best movies ever, because it was reall funny and it spoofed Disney films such as "Snow White." Eddie Murphy was very funny. You must see this film!
