Summary: Shrek is not schrecklich at all
Review: This is a good, immensely viewable movie, both for children and adults, which is no mean feat. 3D computer generated graphics are used to great effect. The overall result is that of a very well polished cartoon depicting a fairy tale story world with a modern twist. This movie is irreverent and a little savage, which, again goes down well both with children and adults. There are a lot of nods to other movies, including the "that'll do" phrase out of "Babe". Myself a counted half a dozen such instances and probably they are twice as many - this works nicely. To its merit the movie does not take itself very seriously.

Unfortunately its makers do; the special features are filled with expressions such as "the first", "the most", "revolutionary not evolutionary", "the only one with believable human characters" and such. In fact Shrek is evolutionary only, if you want to have a revolutionary visual experience, see "Final Fantasy", a contemporary photo realistic computer generated movie. "Shrek" for all its merits, does not quite achieve what "Final Fantasy" and "A Bug's Life" did: to create a new world. On the other hand Shrek is a polished, clever, entertaining piece of work and will probably become a classic.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent !
Review: It's a really excellent movie. My 3-yr old daughter likes it so much that she watches it almost every day since I brought her to the movie then bought a video of the movie for her about one month ago.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Real good film & DVD
Review: I truly enjoyed the film, could have done without some of the "gross out" jokes. Loved them making fun of Disney movies, even while being a Disney fan. Good extras on it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great all around...
Review: I think that this is a great family movie and we have already put our copy to great use!

The story is general enough for kids to get something out of it and parents should love the adult themed "mini" jokes too. We all loved this movie!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wow!
Review: My wife and I rented this movie expecting a somewhat lackluster experience. We loved it. We were laughing constantly throughout the movie, and especially during the Gingerbread Man scenes. I actually read a review for this film that picked apart the technical aspects of the film. Don't listen to him or anyone else trying to tell you this film isn't worth seeing. The jokes are there for all ages, and will keep you laughing for the entire movie. Any adults watching the film on DVD will fall out of their seats when watching an extra scene in which Eddie Murphy's character raps an old Sir Mix-a-lot's song. (You know the one I'm talking about.) Rent, buy watch. You won't feel as though you've wasted your time or money.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best movies of the year for the whole family
Review: Both adults and kids will be entertained for hours with this outstanding DVD, that has two discs full of extras, and the movie is an experience of it's own, with the highly entertaining story about a ogre, a talking donkey, and a beautyful princess that is going out on a unforgettable adventure, with many parodies on the Gingerbread Man, Snow White and much more!
I can't wait for the Special Editions, and I hope that 'Shrek' will be nominated for both 'Best Picture', and 'Best Animated Movie' under the next years 'Academy Awards'.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Terrific Animated Tale!
Review: Shrek is one of those movies that is impossible to dislike. Anyone will enjoy this movie. Mike Myers brings out one of his funniest voices and teams up with the incredible humor of Eddie Murphy for an unforgettable movie. From the beginning to the end of the movie you will be laughing (I laughed so hard at times I cried).

Parents, I would like to mention that this movie does include some adult themes which some parents could find too much for their small children, but I think that most kids would still enjoy it.

The DVD is loaded with all sorts of goodies too. There are two discs with hours of entertainment.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The most funniest animated movie I've ever seen
Review: The donkey (Eddie Murphy) is the key of the whole movie and it's so funny. Also some execllent moment in the movie add more fun to it, such as the martial arts action of the princess, Lord Farquad's acting...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Light-Hearted, Fun Lovin' Comedy For All
Review: Ever have an evening where you just didn't know what you wanted to watch? Not sure what type of movie or show you wanted to watch? This movie hits the spot. I am a 32 yr old parent of a 9 yr old little girl. She and I love to watch this movie. I've seen this once at the movies and 6 times at home. I laugh every time. It's a movie that you don't get tired of.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Clever Film,Definitely a must buy.
Review: When i first heard about this i thought that these guys would never defeat Disneys Toy story or toy story 2.
Boy was i wrong.
This film is one of the best of the year and this dvd does this great film justice.
Theres a great extended ending where the characters sing some well known songs.
The sound quality on this dvd is great and if you have good surround sound you will be very impressed.
My favourite parts in this film are the gingerbread man interrogation scene and most of the bits where the shrek and the donkey are together.
I cant possibly reccomend this dvd enough so just buy it.
