Summary: GOD THIS IS FANTASTIC!!!!!!
Review: What a bloody fantastic movie!! This isnt even a Disney movie! When i found that out i thought it wouldnt be anygood, but i know why Disney knocked it back... a bit rude and crude for a Disney film. But John Lithgos character is based on a person from Disney who knocked back the movie and i reckon good on them for doing that! Its a movie that will be liked from ages 5-500! its the funniest anamated movie ever made and with the fantastic cast involved you will agree! Go SHREK!!!!!!!!!

Summary: An ogre? Okay, works for me.
Review: "Big Thumbs Up!"

Don't wait, go. Go see Shrek! This uproarous animated hit is an instant computer animated classic, bigger and better than Toy Story. Even adults will fall for this summer hit! Mike Myers and Eddie Murphy add their voice talent to this pleasant surprise! Now this film is proof, that Disney doesn't have the "greatest" animated hits ever! I wonder if a computer animated film could win Best Picture at the Academy Awards? If so, it should definetely be at least nominated. Shrek is spectacular!

Summary: Shrek is outrageously funny and an instant classic
Review: An ogre Shrek (Mike Myers) thunders out of a fairy tale storybook to steer clear of him; a donkey (Eddie Murphy) follows his saviour when his fairy-tale land is devastated by the evil plans of Lord Farquaad who is narcissistic and short-tempered. Even the heroine, Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz) is not your typical stereotyped beauty, but a spoiled, independent woman who rules with her dry wits and sardonic humour. Shrek makes a pact with the Lord Farquaad (voiced superbly by John Lithglow) to rescue his bride from the sentinel dragon in the castle, but falls in love with Fiona as they learn more about themselves in the rollicking adventure.

SHREK coming from DREAMWORKS, takes a stab at Disney's imagery on fairy tale and that reality bites - this fractured story tale from the hands of William Steinburg is an instant classic with its wits and dry humour that charms not even the children but finally a cartoon feature that is sophisticatedly computer-animated even to make the adults captivated. The morality is devastatingly told - when the audience learns about beauty is only skin-deep and that ugliness could be a form of tender beauty. Savagely touching and poignant, it transcends the boundaries of a mediocre fairy tale to bring truth and learning to accept who you are.

Shrek brings in fairy-tale characters that all of us can relate to - from Pinochio to the Gingerbread man, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, it is a rambunctious parody and a wicked satire which has all the elements of a good fable - friendship, bigotry and love. Not to mention the spectacular 3D animation that is almost realistically done to match the actors voicing them - and the "Matrix" and Star Wars spoofs. Its outrageousness - and sublime creativity - may make even Disney cringe in awe of their aggressive competitor.

Summary: The Best Movie of the Year!
Review: From the moment I first saw the trailer for Shrek, I knew I wanted to see it. I got to see it at an advanced screening a couple weeks before it opened. I knew it was going to be good, but I didn't know how good. I laughed all the way through it. The voice-talents are great, the script heart-warming and hilarious at the same time, and the animation is absolutely incredible. In a summer that has produced only a few truly good films, this tops the list. Dreamworks does it again by seeking out another brilliant film that will hopefully become the second animated film ever to be nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Happily Ever After...
Review: This movie had enough love to make boys' skin crawl, enjoy fighting to make girls' turn their head and enough to make adults fall out of their chair. There were quite a few jokes that would go over a kid's head, aside puns or poking fun at another movie scene. Even though it has some mush it's great for all audiences and it does make a good point that I think will miss too many people.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Has anyone seen the DVD? Not me :)
Review: Funny how there are already 273 reviews, two and a half months before the DVD even comes out. Well, I'll throw my comment into the fray, too. This is a hilarious movie, that IMO only fails at the end, by using a sitcom cliche, and by having a moral that it doesn't matter how you look as long as you can find someone as ugly as you are. Kind of insulting, I think. Still, this movie has wonderful characters, is incredibly well done, has all kind of jokes and gags, and I'm definitely going to buy the DVD.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: All good for the the breakout hit for 2001!
Review: Dear Reader, Shrek is sometimes gross good for the whole family, kind of movie. Funny almost all the time, and a great cast that brings good voices to the humorous characters.

The cast of shrek is Mike Myers (shrek) Cameron Diaz (Princess) John Lithgow (Prince) and the heart of the comedy in this movie Eddie Murphy (Donkey). Distributed by Dreamworks, who brought othe great animations like Prince of Egypt, and Antz.

I didn't expect this movie to be as good as everyone told me it was, but yes i was suprised. This movie gaining $250 million+ which is wonderful, this kind of gross would of been good for Titanic and any of the Star Wars (But they got more all of those films got like $350 million+ which is wonderful for them).

I went to this film with a little girl, i believe her age is 5, she loved it and i loved it, exactly i think i loved it more than her. This movie has more humor for adults than for children, which i didn't expect. Recommend for anyone looking for a good and funny time. I bet the soundtrack is good too, but i couldn't promise that.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: College Student Crazy for Shrek
Review: I'll be honest. The only reason I went to see this movie is because the movie I was waiting in line for, sold out four people in front of me. After recovering from that, we checked the movie times and Shrek was the only movie that fit into our schedule. We went expecting to be seated next to three year olds with their grandmothers but after laughing soda out of my nose in the first scene, I knew we had made a poor judgement call. I have never laughed out loud so many times in a movie theatere before. Besides being hilarious, the plot is actually pretty cute too, and all the fairy tale creatures living in a modern times kind of world was pretty interesting. For once, I was glad the movie I wanted to see was sold out, even though I burned my nose with soda.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Movie
