The Rebel Faction

I went to see this movie last night. Big. Mistake. It's released Wednesday, and I try go see it on the first weekend it's out, at 2:10? And it's Memorial Day weekend too? The first theater I went to was sold out for the two upcoming showings. I then traveled almost thirty miles to another theater, only to find out that one was sold out for the next four showings on both their screens. I then went all the way back to the first theater, and managed to get into their second four-o'clock showing.

After all that, I must say, this movie did not disappoint. I loved the first Shrek, with its mockery of Disney themes (exploding bird scene: absolute ownage). This movie easily equaled the first in both smarts and laughs. The animation was excellent, the voicing even better than the first, and the jokes kept cracking the audience up. Dreamworks' plays on words and themes were great, as well. "The kingdom of Far Far Away would like to ..."

The only thing I would have changed would have been a little less Donkey and more Puss in Boots.

When you go see the show, stay and watch the credits. There's a short extension hidden about three or four minutes in.

If the studios don't go power mad and insist on breaking up the production and directing teams that worked on part 1 and 2, I have big hopes for 3... it's unusual that a sequel matches the original so I hope Shrek keeps up it's good score.

I liked the movie. But the ogres were painfully ugly, the movie was ten times better when the were humans for that little amount of time.

Puss in Boots was great. And Jennifer Saunders was excellent as the fairy Godmother.

uhh milky, you apparently missed the complete point of the movies... which is "looks aren't every thing"..
