Summary: Shrek Rules
Review: Absolutely one of the very best DVDs I have seen or heard. The animation is superb and the color saturation on this pressing is just great. The DTS encoded soundtrack is marvelous. And this just might be Eddie Murphy's best performance ever! Treat yourself, it sure beats Geraldo talking about Anthrax.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Magical!
Review: What an amazing movie experience. How could anyone not like Shrek is beyond me. The most entertaining, hilarious, and magical movie to come around in years. Filled with eye popping animation and heartfelt performances from the entire cast Shrek is probably the best film of the year. The animation is so good I forgot I was watching and animated film. Mike Myers as Shrek is so likebale and I don't think there has ever been a better hero.Cameron Diaz is feisty, fun, and yes even sexy as Princess Fiona. However Eddie Murphy steals the show with a hysterical performance as Donkey. I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard. Probably Robin Williams as the Genie in Aladdin.
Shrek is a masterpiece and hopefully will not be ignored at this years Oscars. It should at least get a nomination.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very good children's movie
Review: The animation is incredible, and the DVD is filled with some interesting extras, including an engaging director's commentary, and a technical making-of documentary.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is the best DVD that I own
Review: First off let me say, that I think Shrek is one of the best movies that I have ever seen. The thing that really sets this DVD apart from others that I own are all the wonderful extra's. It contains the movies in wide screen and pan and scan, commentary from some of the makers. Many games, music numbers. It even lets you dub yourown voice into certain scenes from the movie in place of the actor. I have never had so much fun, and I'm still finding more things to do.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good choice for anyone!
Review: Shrek is truly a wonderful movie, in all aspects. The animation is excellent, the dts surround is awesome! The dvd features 2 discs, one with full screen, and the 2nd with widescreen format, but there is tons of extras on both discs, worth checking them out for sure! Young and old will enjoy this for sure!

Summary: A FANTASTIC FABLE THAT DELIVERS
Review: The single most entertaining and successful film of the year "SHREK" (DreamWorks...), arrives on DVD in a double disc set that includes widescreen and full screen versions and bonus material skewed towards younger kids. The unusually sharp digital transfer is about as good as is technically possible and brings to life a beautiful world inhabited by all manner of questionable but mostly lovable characters. Mike Meyers' inspired voice work for the title ogre is dead on in every aspect and implies much more humanity than even the words he says. Eddie Murphy is consistently in the zone as the up-beat, bluntly honest wise guy Donkey. Cameron Diaz and John Lithgow bring the princess and the vertically challenged king to life. But the most interesting thing that looms over this hugely successful film is the personal war between Disney's Michael Eisner and DreamWorks' "Shrek" producer Jeffrey Katzenberg. The rivalry and bitterness between the two former Disney associates has resulted in several extraordinary animated products that are probably much better than they might have been. Let's hope they keep competing on a personal level because "Shrek" is just about perfect. Of all the bonus material, making of stuff and commentaries, the thing that's most lacking is something, anything, from the two brilliant writers Ted Elliot and Terry Rossio. It's the best screenplay of the year. By far. One to own.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Who couldn't?
Review: Who COULD NOT like Shrek? Especially with the voice of Mike Meyers!!!! My dad bought this as a "family-movie" last night, and this is one movie I actually LOVE. It's one of those movies you can NEVER get sick of, and with all of the humor and incredible animation, its not hard to see why everyone loves this movie.
The DVD is especially fantastic. There are two CD's, and plenty of special features like Shrek's Karaoke Dance Party (my personal favorite) and Games you can play. If you have XBOX, they have cheats on the 2nd CD for the Shrek game.
It is simply amazing what they did with this movie. If you haven't seen it, then you're crazy!! This movie must be rated movie of the year. It's extraordinary!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: I didn't like this one.
Review: I don't know what about it, but I really didn't like this movie. I just hated it. And i usually like these cute little movies, like Chicken Run, but Shrek just sucked.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: terrible movie
Review: This movie was awful. I do not recommend it to anyone. I am sorry I spent the money to rent it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Greatest Fairy Tale Never Told!
Review: Lord Farquaad (John Lithgow) is ruler of Durok. After he realizes he must be a king in order to be ruler of a kingdom he chooses Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz) as his bride. Fiona is locked away inside a castle surrounded by a fire breathing dragon. Farquaad holds a tournament to determine the princesses rescuer. Shrek (Mike Myers) wins the tournament and makes a deal with Farquaad. The princess for the deed to his swamp. Farquaad agrees and together Shrek and his loundmouth donkey (Eddie Murphy) set off on an unforgettable adventure.

Shrek has already raked in over 266 million in the us box office alone and thats for a good reason so if you havent seen it yet, what are you waiting for. This is a great film for all ages. There is the perfect mix of humor for the younger and older audience. The voice overs by the actors is excellent and the CGI is just jawdropping(look out Pixar).

Dreamworks has put together an excellent DVD. The transfer is just flawless. The picture is clean and there is no edge enhancement. With all the debate over pan and scan and widescreen maybe this dvd should become the blue print for the standard. Pan and Scan (don't know why some people prefer it) with DD on one disk and Anamorphic widescreen with DTS on the other for the video and audio freaks like myself. The disk is just loaded with far to many extras to list here but trust me they will keep you busy for a couple of hours after the movie is over. If you can only get one dvd this month Shrek should be it.
