Couldn't help but post a thread on this...

Shrek 2's coming out Wednesday (that is, tomorrow). Anybody excited about this? Heheh...personally I loved the first one with all the fairy tale parodies...I might see it on Thursday afterschool^^

So...eh...your thoughts?

yeah im excited about it too!! i cant wait i think im suppose to get paid tomorrow im not sure though i asked one of my bosses and he said he doesnt know they dont even have checks made out yet...so i dont know i might not be going to see it...maybe ill go this weekend with mom and dad... can always rely on them to pay for stuff like that

I've got Wed/Thurs off from work, I'm planning on going to one of the earlier showings, between 12-1 I hope... it's supposed to be really good, my local paper was listing it as the best sequal ever made (or something like that).

I can't wait to see it eather! I loved the first one, it was hilarious!

I quite enjoyed the satirical tone of the first, and I certainly hope the second follows the same trend. At worst it would fall to the stupid-sequel syndrome, but I trust the creators enough that they may not do this.

y'know, uc, big words and uncommon grammar can take the fun out of anything
jk

Anyway I want to see shrek 2 as well because the commercials made it look really good!

PiB: "Beg fer mercy fram -- PUSS! .. In boots."
Donkey: "Sorry but the position of annoying talking animal has already been taken!"

The best part in the commercial though was donkey making that annoying noise and driving Shrek berzerk in the chariot! cracks me up every time when I hear shrek go "ARRGGH!!" at the end of the preview!

Awe, i luv shrek!! can't wait till the next one comes out. But the firsts are always the best...th second prolly won't be as good. *sigh* but I'm still excited.

From what I have heard of the plot, Fiona's parents meet Shrek, not in the most positive way. Furthermore, it turns out she was pledged to marry someone else...

Meaning, you had this coming.

Translation for none l33t individuals: Ah yeah that's what I'm talking about.

So, now... do we have anything to say on topic?

Saw the movie today... and basically this is one of those movies where the 2nd movie is better than the 1st.

The artwork has been improved (just at bit at least), and the story was great.

The movie had a good pace, it didn't leave you clock watching or anything, and it's got a bit of everything in it, action, comedy (lots of laughts), romance.... must see movie if you liked the 1st one.

And John Clease does the voice of Fiona's Father.... what more could you want?



Now why are you reading this and not out seeing this movie?!?!?!?!?

It's been awhile since I've seen the first one but, yeah, I do want to see Shrek 2 somewhat.

Many of the fairy tale/fantasy spoofs in the first one were quite funny.

im going on friday, was it the times or the tribune that said it was the best?

I am glad to hear it's good, though we'll see when (or if) I see it in theaters.

I think I'll have a good chance of getting to see this one in theaters... especially since I keep nagging my mom about wanting to see it and jumped on her this morning with a newspaper review that called it "every bit as funny and imaginative as the first" and asserted that the movie had "a heart bigger than any movie screen can contain". in other words, it is supposed to be better than #1

I just saw it this afternoon, and yes, it was worthy of being a sequel to the first one. About darn time they make a decent sequel! I did find the fairy-tale allusions a bit quicker in this one. Yeah they exist, but it satirizes/parallels more of the real world (cough stores cough) and movies. That was my one slight disappointment.

I wouldn't say the story is AS entertaining as the first, but it wasn't bad either. Overall I guess it was a fairly good movie.

It was the St. Petersburg Times that had the article..... click here to read it (beware, thar be spoilers ahead me thinks):

http://www.sptimes.com/2004/05/18/Floridian/_Shrek_2___Ogre_the_r.shtml

at least till the page expires from the site.

The lead-in for the article reads like this:

It's a rare sequel that makes all your dreams come true: The jokes are funnier. The animation is better. Most important, the story develops fresh plot lines.

I knew it was going to be good, seeing that in my paper Tuesday morning only re-inforced my belief (and I didn't even read the whole article).

Yea I saw it too...I was kinda surprised, since there was no one in the theater (duh, it was Thursday afternoon, but my theater is usually always crowded), but it was fun. The movie was a decent sequel, and what my friends thought was going to be a stupid movie was actually quite the opposite...they were laughing the whole time. So yea, I guess it was a good movie.

Watched it earlier. Cinema was packed.

"Pray for mercy from PUSS!...in Boots."

I love that little feline. XD

There's a rumor going around that Shrek supposedly is going to be in 4 parts.

i watched it, it was good, but i liked the first one better, there were a few very funny parts

I saw it today.

It was sortof touching and very hilarious!! Puss in boots was great.

There is probably more crude humor in this one than in the last one so be forwarned.

More crude humor? That's unusual to hear... most reviews I have read said there was less. I would imagine, however, that different definitions of crude are in use, and I will take a Christian opinion over a secular one.

Well I havent seen the first one in a while but my mom walked out saying something like "I'm kinda dissappointed with the amount of bad stuff in that movie.. I dont feel like I just saw a shrek movie". So I thought about that for a while and I think this one has more. Of course, just like in the first one half of it is implied so that innocent little kids wont know whats going on Also something that really bothered my mom I think is a scene where Puss does something that cats naturally do, but some people may see the scene as being gross while others might not. Thats all I want to say about it or everyone would see it the first way

The plot itself is much more original and you might say heartwarming than that of the previous film, so maybe the review you read was referring to that?

Also, I think there's less profanity in this second one though ^^

I saw it yesterday, and I loved it!
[spoiler]When they found the cat nip on Puss in Boots was my favorite part. But I will never think of Pinnochio in the same way ever, ever again...[/spoiler]

shrek 2 is the best movie that i have seen in a while...(except for the rundown... but that is only b/c of seann william scott ...oh sorry) neways ... me and my friends went to go see it and we were all laughing really hard... i think some of th ppl in the theater go a little upset...j/k...yah...good times..good times...

I agree AngelSakura, but you must agree Gingerbread man and Pinochio rocked in some of the other parts. they played the chemistry between those two well. As well as the other characters

[spoiler] 2 of my favorite parts were the medieval meal (look at the prince at that part for those who haven't seen it.) and when the cat falls off the horse Donkey and "curses" at them in Spanish. lol "Carne con papa!" means meat with frenchfries!!!!!! [/spoiler]

I just saw it. It was soooooo funny! At the end, be sure to stay after they show the main cast's pictures, there's a special with Donkey and Dragon. ^^x *laughs*

I broke my own rule about not leaving till the credits where over and missed the thing at the end... almost makes me want to go see it again just for that (and the fact that it's a killer movie).

I saw it last week end and I thought it was great.

Just to get you guys opinions:
Was the "ugly step-sister" in the bar a cross-dresser or just a REALLY ugly woman? I'm curious because me, my girl cousin, and my two older guy cousins went to see it, and the guys insisted it was a cross-dresser while I and my girl cousin didn't think that was true. Just wondering. . .
