Summary: An Animated Triumph!
Review: Best Movie of 2001, this outstanding and stunning piece of computer animation has been the most compelling one since
" Toy Story" and " Toy Story 2". Mike Myers is at his funny best
as a Grumpy Green Orge who goes on a quest to find a princess
so he can get his Swamp back but the real quest that he hasn't realised is to find what trying to be kind is all about. Must see movie and must own DVD cause it's got cool extras. This movie also stars Cameron Diaz, Eddie Murphy, John Lithgouth as well.

Summary: "Shrek" convinced even the most hardnosed skeptic.
Review: This movie was hilarious. I am typically very difficult to entertain, and am not much into movies - but I decided to give "Shrek" a whirl. I actually avoided this movie at first because I thought it would be stupid. I was so pleasantly surprised. Here's a quick rundown of what I loved about "Shrek" * Incredible graphics! I am a designer and I greatly appreciated the amazing attention to detail. * It was hilarious! The comic bits were really funny... * The characters were excellent... The graphics along with the voices for each character really made their personalities come across. * It was a very, very sweet story. Rent it, buy it - go see it! It's great!

Summary: NOT FOR KIDS
Review: Shrek may well appeal to some adult's tastes but it is certainly NOT an appropriate movie for kids, for many reasons! There is humor and some really frightening, even sick, violence. It distresses me that it is marketed to children. My advice for parents is to rent and view before you show your kids.

Summary: MYERS & MURPHY EXCEL
Review: First of all let me start by saying, I'm 32 years old and I don't like Disney or any other kids movies much (with the exception of The Iron Giant, although I also enjoyed Toy Story 2). I took my nephews to see Shrek at the theater last summer and they absolutely loved it but much to my surprise I loved it too. This is the movie that has made $472 m at the box office and has made $420 m in two months of DVD and video sales. This is the gift that everybody got for Christmas. This is the gift I gave everybody for Christmas. This is the DVD I got for Christmas and this is the movie I've seen about six times so far BUT it doesn't matter how many times you watch Shrek, it still amuses, it still entertains and it doesn't ever disappoint. It has that rare quality of appealing to both children and adults, which is extremely beneficial if you have kids who liked to watch movies over and over and over again. It is a beautifully written send up of Disney films, fairytales, and other movies, with so many clever visual and verbal jokes; only some of which (thankfully) kids will understand. All of which adults (with a sense of humour) will love. It is a perfectly cast movie with Mike Myers voicing the mild-mannered ogre Shrek and Eddie Murphy in his best form for many a year as his sidekick donkey. John Lithgow stars as the villain Lord Farquaad and Cameron Diaz voices the feisty Princess Fiona. They are all magnificent but it was a stroke of genius to cast Myers and Murphy together as they spark off each other and excel with comic ad-libs. Whats more the extras on this DVD are just magnificent. There are games, deleted scenes, behind the scenes stuff, hilarious fake interviews etc. etc. and with reported sales of the DVD worldwide, at 10m and rising, Dreamworks have put together a fantastic package and really hit the jackpot. I don't know anybody, young or old who doesn't like this movie and for once I'm pretty happy to be in the majority.

Summary: Dreamworks still NOT Pixar's equal
Review: I am not a person who likes to complain, but this film is too OVERRATED! It is not that funny by any measure (I personally don't think it's funny at all) and it's DEFINITELY not inspired...the plot is scattershot beyond any reason or good sense. Even Mike Myers of whom I am a fan seems to be going through the motions without much inspiration.For such technology-heavy projects it should perhaps not come as a surprise that the plot is not the main focus, but after watching the 5-star TOY STORY 2,one cannot be satisfied with Shrek.I'd be disappointed if an adult considered Shrek's humour top class; he obviously has not discovered the Monty Python magic.

Summary: Mouse's Movie Review
Review: This is an extremely funny movie. Forget Chicken Run. This is AWESOME! A note to parents: This movie has more than it's share of "bathroom humor". Other than that it is a hilarious movie with a wonderful cast-A really strange ogre, a nonstop-talking donkey. A princess under a spell. An evil short person. How much better can you get?

Summary: Finally, a computer animation that works for adults and kids
Review: While I enjoy the visual virtuousity of Lasseter et. al. at Pixar and ignoring the horribly off-target AntZ -- DreamWorks succeeds with a picture combining the best of computer imagery and the best traditions of intelligent cartooning. Shrek plays perfectly to the 10 and under-- but can only be savored fully with the adult understanding of inside and over-the-head-of-the-youngsters jokes. Wonderful

Summary: Laugh-out-loud
Review: Hey. I am 11 years old and thought this movie wouldn't be so great. But, my brothers wanted to see this and of course I had to go along. Watching it in the movie theatre I found that I just couldn't stop laughing. As always Eddie Murphy is genius(great cast). We got the DVD for Christmas and I can't stop watching it. I especially love the karaoke music video at the end. Plus the DVD has great special features including the revoice studio on DVD-rom. 2 thumbs up!

Summary: Very Entertaining
Review: I must admit, I am a Disney-a-holic, so when a computer animated film made by Dreamworks was getting high acclaim, I avoided it. I didn't see it in the movies, but once released on DVD, I got a bit curious and was suprised at what I found. As this movie is aimed at a wide audience, I found enough to engross many children and enough to also engage an older crowd. At first I was extremely skeptical of the cast, as I don't usually like Mike Meyers at all, but his voice was disguised enough that I didn't mind. Also, Cameron Diaz usually annoys me, but her voice and character were well cast. Shrek became a loveable creature and even though the plot is not complicated and somewhat predictable, it was definately enjoyable. There were many stabs at Disney, but I didn't get too offended. All-in-all, Shrek was a well done movie with creative dialogue, beautiful scenes and an entertaining plot. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys computer animated movies.
