Summary: Gem of a movie...
Review: I loved this movie from the word go ! Dreamworks is giving Disney a run for its money in Disneys own backyard. ie. Animation Feature Films. This movie will be liked by anybody who has a funnybone..well, if he or she doesn't, I think they will be forced to let loose a chuckle here and a smile there. About the characters, Mike Myers is believable as a Ogre's voice. John Lithgow as Prince Farquaad gives animated villainy a new dimension. Cameron Diaz as Princess Fiona's voice shows the spirit of the character so well that you might believe her to be a 21st century career woman. Coming to the most delightful character in the movie. The donkey ! Eddie Murphy has us laughing like jackasses with his witty one liners and retorts. After seeing this donkey, if you happen to see a real one, you might just be tempted to talk to it. Not that the movie needs any support to stand on its feet,but the donkey will bowl you over if nothing else does(which, again, is very highly improbable). Go ahead, take your kids, your parents, your friends.. anybody for that matter and see a fairy tale with a different point of view.

Summary: I saw Shrek now I'm a believer!
Review: When I went to go see the motion picture Shrek I figured typical kids movie with corny jokes. I was suprised that the film had a lot of adult humor and was very funny. You think it'll be like a normal fairy tale but in fact it makes fun of all the fairy tales that are very popular.This was a great movie which I have seen twice.

Summary: Extreme fun!
Review: I HAVE to get the DVD when it comes out - I laughed so hard I missed much of the dialogue in the theatre. This is a truly great and funny film! Excellent animation and storytelling. A must-see for the boomer generation.

Summary: Amazing Movie!
Review: I went into this movie expecting it to be simply a kid's animation film. BOY WAS I WRONG! Along with having a majority of the humor aimed at the adult viewers, it is a sort of social commentary. The prince is looking to make the perfect kingdom, so he casts out the "freaks" or fairy tale creatures. This is like the people in today's society that thrive for a "perfect" society that is full of "normal" people. AMAZING!

Summary: Worth seeing it again, and again, and again.......
Review: So far I have seen this very hilarious movie 3 times in theatres (2x in just 1 day!) I think it is an EXCELLENT movie. Very funny. All the characters do a great job, and the casting for voices was well done. If you think it's a lame child's movie, you're completely wrong (a friend thought that until after I took her to see it). It's a great movie and I recommend seeing it many times while still in theatres (because of the BIG screen), and then buying it on VHS or DVD when it becomes available. What are you waiting for?!?

Summary: "She lives with seven men, but she's not easy." - The Mirror
Review: What a great flick! A funny & heartwarming story, hysterical humor for adults and kids alike, and visually stunning. There are a million plot summaries below my review, so I'll just focus on the casting & animation. The casting is excellent. Mike Meyers is hysterical as Shrek, a great choice IMO. And Eddie Murphy plays his most likeable character since "Coming To America". John Lithgow, however, steals the show when he's onscreen -- for such a tall man in real life he portrays the Napolean little-man complex perfectly. As for the animation, it's mind-blowing. Although possibly the best compliment I can give this movie is this: I barely NOTICED the animation for most of the film -- I was laughing too hard! But in a few of the quieter scenes I made a point to check out the details, and the animation is truly amazing. But the best part is the facial detail; the voice talent need to give the animators a big THANK YOU for bringing such expressiveness to these characters' faces. Overall this was the most fun I've had in a theater in a long time. Go see it, and when it comes out on DVD, buy it! :)

Summary: Gotta' See it!!!!!
Review: Shrek has an all-star cast of Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz, and John Liffco. I think this movie does have a little anachronisim. For example This is supossed to be about the 1300's maybe? If so,there were no Tic-tac's in the 1300's!!!!!! Also, well, that's the only thing I remember clearly. But who cares!!! This movie is good to watch and laugh at. If you haven't seen it yet, get the family in the van for a Sunday drive to see Shrek!!! (Da-Da-Da-Da)

Summary: The most hilarious animation in the recent years
Review: Dreamworks has finally found their way to the world of animation. Their past animations are far from good, but Shrek would definitely be a breakthrough for them. The computer graphics were drawn in detail (you could even see the finger prints!), and the backgrounds are spectacular. Although at certain places, you could still feel the characters moving like line-drawn puppets, but in terms of facial expressions and movements, Dreamworks had really paid a very good effort in it. Nonetheless, the main selling point should not be just on the graphics for the story is hilarious. You would never be able to imagine how innovative the directors could be on simple and ordinary fairy tale characters. You can see all the classical fairy tale characters in the movie, and even more. The main role - Shrek, who was an Ogre was disgustingly funny. You could not accept some of his behaviours or "abilities", but they would really give you a good laugh in the theatre. The talking donkey was also fabulous. It is as talkative and nagging as Jar Jar Bink in the Phantom Menance, but it is 200% funnier than Jar Jar Bink. This is probably due to the fact that this kind of characher is more suitable to be in a crazy animation instead of a serious SF movie. Eddy Murphy's voice dubbing really made the donkey alive. Princess Fiona is basically a Final Fantasy version of Cameron Diaz with Charlie's Angel's capability and character. Watch out for her cool moves. You could feel Cameron Diaz's superb performance in animated format. However, despite the 5 star cast and computer graphics, Shrek might not be the best choice for kids. Not only that some gags are tailored for adults (not in terms of sex or violence, but comprehension ability), but also if the kids really act like Shrek after finishing the moive, parents would hope that they have never taken their kids to the theatre.

Summary: Good animated movie without the cheese.
Review: I will admit I was hoping to get a bit more out of Shrek than I did. I noticed all the great reviews and the fantastic trailer and the idea of spoofing all the Disney movies if fabulous. But, since most of the gags were included in the trailer the funny scenes simply left a smile on your face instead of a roar of a laugh and sometimes this movie simply tried too hard to be Toy Story. But, it was none-the-less a very good watch with fantastically developed characters and a storyline that actually works. There is a plot in this movie, which is more than can be said for some recent animated films. But, sometimes the movie can be a little bit boring and carries on when it thinks too highly of itself. Still, Shrek is clever animated entertainment with good adult humour and children will enjoy it too.
