Summary: So Cute!
Review: I thought this movie was adorable! I think that everyone will like it no matter what age! It has a little bit of grown-up humor but still is good for small children. You have to see this movie! I really think that it will make almost everyone laugh.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Definite Appeal, But Far From Great
Review: SHREK has some appealing moments. It also has some nice things to say about how society focuses too much on external beauty and not enough about a person's soul. Unfortunately, a lot of the film's inherent charm is diminished by the crude way in which it is handled. This is really a shame, because the film could have been so much more.

Apparently, studio executives dread the "G" rating like the plague. Instead, they insert unnecessary scatological humor to "beef up" the rating. Hopefully, this pattern will change, but it doesn't appear likely.

In short, you might want to keep the little kids away from this one. It might pass for older kids and teenagers, but you might want to consider other alternatives first. If in doubt, pre-screen the film first.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Have a Shrek of a Good Time!
Review: For those of you interested in digital animation, this is a feast for your eyes. You will forget, often, during the movie that is IS cgi. Being much more than pure "eye-candy", the wit and wisdom of this ultra-modern forum for presenting a classic fairytale takes you on a wonderful adventure.
There is no flaw to be found in the animators' strive to bring the voice actors expressions and emotions to every word of dialouge, you really get every nuance. You will laugh again, and again at this witty and beautiful movie. There are several extra features packed onto the 2 disc set, enough to keep children AND adults entertained long after the movie has ended.
The only thing questionable about this edition is that the feature does appear on BOTH discs, disc one is Pan & Scan (4:3) and in DDS only, and disc 2 has the Widescreen (16:9 enhanced) in DTS also. This nugget of info seemed to be a secret I did not discover until after watching (to my 16:9 tv's dismay) disc one, and viewing the extras on Disc 2.
Over all an excellent edition of an excellent movie, and a great addition to any DVD collection.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Cliched but true: Fun for all ages
Review: This movie fits the well worn cliche: "Fun for all ages" better than any other film before it. I'm 17, and my normal diet of action films and other such "grown up" movies was supplanted purely by accident by this little gem. After i saw it, i took my baby cousins, my friend, my mum and my grandmother to go and see it. It is rare that you will find a movie that appeals to all these demogrpahic groups but in Shrek you have the answer to the family movie dilemma.

The quality of the image is magnificent, the characters colourful and the voice acting superb. Eddie Murphy is at his best since Beverly Hills Cop as the fast talking donkey, and although many people have criticised Cameron Diaz's role, it is beyond reproach. Mike Meyers and John Lithgow turn in similarly professional efforts as Shrek and Lord Farquaad.

The humour is razor sharp and there is enough witty sarcasm to appeal to the adults, as well as Shrek's disgusting habits to appeal to the little ones. Disney will not be happy with some of the biting satire aimed in its direction!

Stop wasting time reading this review and go and buy the damn tape.

Summary: "Your a big green fighting macine!"
Review: Oh yea!! Finally a movie that is just right! This movie is funny and enjoyable while kicking animation stereotypes out of its way. This movie is THE greatest, with a oger hero instead of the villian. A faithful sidekick/"Pet" that cant risist speaking its mind. A princess who kicks Robin Hood and Co.'s butt, A good dragon and an extra evil, short, prince whos hell-bent on having a perfect kingdom. Not to mention a host of other lively characters (i.e- The gingerbread man, Cinderall, Snow White and the 7 dwarwes a bunck of faries and villagers!) This film is great in that it throws way to many fast ones and never bothers to follow the rules!!! i sulute you and expect a few more from them.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best DVD Ever
Review: I live outside the u.s., and, for some magical reason, I was abble to get my hands on the dvd last saturday, and I have to say, this is the best dvd in my 122 dvd collection, and is a must for any dvd lover. The dvd comes with plenty of extra material, includes also some of the best menues I have ever seen, better than the ones from "The Phamton Menace" or any other.
Well, the movie itself is awesome. The picture is great, and the sound even better.
But I have to say, the Shrek in the swamp karaoke party is the best part of the dvd. Seeing Donkey sing a cover of Sir Mix A Lot "Baby Got Back" or the wolf singing "Who Let The Dogs Out", is the best part of the dvd.
Well, what else can I say?...Great movie, great dvd...some great things, like some out takes, showing some problems the crew had with donkey (a very hairy donkey appears, and a walking dress), I can only say...BUY THIS!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Funny, not to be missed
Review: I watched Shrek on the plane to Los Angeles from Philly with United. I have a tendency to buy DVD after watching the film first. Now I decide to buy it because it's so funny.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Great Movie!!!
Review: I think that Shrek is one of my personal favorites.I love the way Mike Myers uses his Scottich accent.Eddie Murphy is the funniest in this movie.I plan to buy it when it comes out(I will buy the DVD of course!).If you have not seen the movie,you have got to see it soon!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: DreamWorks' First Film To Blow Disney Out Of The Water
Review: Once upon a smelly swamp, there lived a big, ugly ogre named Shrek (Mike Myers). He met a Donkey (Eddie Murphey) whose name was never mentioned. They go to Farquaad (John Lithgow) to complain about fairy tale creatures taking over Shrek's swamp. Farquaad has a plan to use Shrek to capture a princess (Farquaad can't be a king without marrying a princess) and tells him to go rescue Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz). That's the main plot of this wonderful movie. Shrek is the most entertaining and funniest computer graphic movie I've ever seen. It has unique graphics, excellent acting and, of course, side-splitting humor. Not to mention the music as well. It has a beautiful score and funny songs sung by the Duloc Mechanical Children and Monsieur Hood. I highly recommend this movie for you and your children, of course religious parents wouldn't liek this movie. It's rated PG for mild language and crude humor.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I love this movie!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a great movie for all ages. BUY SHREK TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!
