Rating: Summary: The worst movie ever made Review: It is a pity that the minimum number of stars I can give is 1, because I don't think this Shrek movie deserves any. It is an insult to all the genuine 1-star movies out there.Is it a sign of the times that a woeful excuse for entertainment such as this travesty is so popular? Where is the discernment in today's movie-going public? There are fantastic animated movies (Toy Story 1 & 2, A Bug's Life) and there are fantastic children's movies (A Princess Bride) and then there is this. Shallow humour that relies almost solely on flatulence, the most confused moral/message EVER seen in a movie, a plot that is so predictable as to induce a coma in an insomniac, and an inane script all add up to one of the worst movies ever made. If you laughed at this movie, if you overlooked the messages (fat girls are hideous and unloveable, slender girls are beautiful, lovely, sweet and normal, short guys are evil and deserve death because of it, hairy guys are ugly, short hairy guys are fair game for bullying) just because "it's funny", then you need to take a good long hard look at yourself and your values. If you agreed with what you thought the message was (beauty comes from within, or something like that), then how do you reconcile the conflicting messages from the rest of the movie? It is a sign that the creative team behind this movie had no idea how to tell a story, they just wanted a few cheap laughs and a showcase for their animation skills. Save your money. Read a book. Take a class in drawing and learn how to look at people. You'll see the beauty in people, even if they are 'round', or 'short', or even 'hairy'.
Rating: Summary: Excelente Película Review: Me encantó esta película, especialmente por la técnica empleada en la realización de la misma y por como es manejado el humor en ella. Otra ventaja es que tiene el audio en multiples idiomas(Inglés, frances y Español). La recomiendo para ser vista en familia, se van a divertir bastante.
Rating: Summary: The best movie!!! Review: Shrek is the best movie. I couldn't stop laughing when I watched it. It's about an ugly ogre who rescued a beautiful princess called princess Fiona. Although Shrek was rescuing her for a very short prince to marry, the ogre fell in love with Fiona. Fiona also loved Shrek. Who will she marry?
Rating: Summary: A fairy tale for the rest of us. Review: If you've ever felt like the ugly duckling, or the frog waiting to become a prince, you will really be able to relate to this movie. I loved the animation, and I loved the humor, but what really struck me as the outstanding feature of this movie was the love story. If you've ever asked yourself "How could he/she ever love someone like me?" this story will really hit home. You don't have to be Prince Charming or Cinderella to have your very own happily ever after!
Rating: Summary: Great Film...lame DVD Review: When I first saw Shrek I said to myself that I had to buy the dvd once it was available to the public. Then the official press realese came out stating all the "wonderful" extras the dvd had... It sounded terriffic that I started counting down the days until Nov 2. Dreamworks threw all the effort away with this DVD, the extras suck big time, they are not even funny. The characters interviews are a waste of Memory and processors time. And why they repeat some of the same features in both DVD's? The set is full of games that are somewhat worth the price of what you are paying, but if you are not into learning how to draw Shrek's face, and singing along with the characters, the games are just a waste of space. Dreamworks still has a lot to learn about the dvd making from Disney. Disney Dvd's are by far a better experience and a better deal in terms of real special features that are a complement to the actual film. Nevertheless Shrek is a great Film a must see...!
Rating: Summary: Enjoyable, well-performed, and technically impressive Review: This movie is enjoyable overall and the technical achievement is remarkable. The acting, too, is quite good, particularly from the brilliant Eddie Murphy who makes the most of every line and even wrings humor out of straight lines several times. The film never reaches the heights of humor and heart that "Toy Story" achieves but that's probably an unfair comparison.
Rating: Summary: great stuff Review: I don't know why I didn't see this movie when it came out in the theatre, but it was a big mistake. Even if the character animation isn't as good as Pixar's. The story was much better! The second DVD is also worth the price. For me the technical part was the most interresting but everything else was really entertaining and fun. I can't wait to see the next one.
Rating: Summary: A great movie and extra goodies! Review: I loved this movie in the theater and saw it multiple times, and I still had to own it. The animation is amazing, and the humor in so many references to Disney, literature, and pop culture is quite clever. I was delighted to find so many bonus extras packed on this DVD. It's always a nice surprise to get more for your money!
Rating: Summary: shrek Review: very nice movie,very funny and yes I plan to buy this .
Rating: Summary: My favorite movie ever. Review: Shrek has some of the best animation.Actually it's breakthrough anime. With Mike Myers,Cameron Diaz,the cool Eddie Murphy,and John Lithgow. Shrek is an ogre who has to save Princess Fiona(Cameron Diaz)from a fire breathing dragon in a castle over a lake of fire.When I first watched it with my dad, when I rented it he laughed as much as I did.This is really one of the few good movies that is rated PG.Must see for kids and adults alike. If you liked the movie you also need to buy the cool soundtrack.It has Eddie Murphy sings I'm a Believer. He actually sings really good.Go buy Shrek now on video or DVD. I'm really 13
