Review: Shrek 2

I went to see Shrek 2 on Thursday. Sequels aren't often the cream of the crop, but Shrek 2 managed to keep the same quality of the original one, or even improve on it. I really liked the little spoofs in the movie: the LotR spoof, the Spiderman spoof, KNIGHTS, etc. All that stuff just made the movie hilarious.
It also managed to add new characters without overloading the movie, and it didn't have to fall into the same trap that so many sequels do: going over the same storyline, but this time with bigger guns/words/peanuts/whatever. The story is interesting and the bad girl is understandable. Puss In Boots is funny, and Eddie Murphy is brillliant as Donkey.

Definitely a movie I would reccomend to anyone. The characters are likeable, the plot is interesting, and the humour is spot-on. Dreamworks has done a good job, and I have high hopes for their next CGI outing: "A Shark Tale".
