 Okay. Worth a watch.. October 2, 2008

It's not a bad movie. There are some funny parts, but fart jokes just don't do it for me. What in the world is so hilarious about passing gas, for crying out loud, besides it being utterly embarrassing? The animation by Pacific Data Images is first rate, although does not hold a candle in comparison to the scope, effort, and complexity that was placed in Square's "Final Fantasy". As for story, I've actually found the story in "Final Fantasy" to be more touching and more involving than the story of "Shrek". Don't get me wrong, "Shrek" has a decent story, but it's not quite as elaborate as "Final Fantasy". (In "Final Fantasy", you may have to watch the movie a second time to get it. It is hard to follow, but it introduces a level of intrigue that makes it more interesting. If you can actually understand the story clearly, then it actually feels far more powerful than what you would originally think.)

A spin on Disney princess tales. This movie is one of the best animated hits in history.
 wow!! July 17, 2008

Does this DVD have a lot of reviews or what? I never saw so many before at least not on Amazon. The movie was pretty good I guess but the second one was better. Did you know that there will be a 4th one in 2010? There will also also be a 5th and final one in 2013.
 Family fun. June 23, 2008

Shrek is a cute movie but gets annoying after watching it more than once. Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, and Cameron Diaz provide the voices for Shrek, Donkey, and Princess Fiona. There are some sarcastic and lovable moments in this box-office smash! Great to watch with friends and family, too bad the sequel was less than impressive, stick with the original.
Fantastically Clever. Shrek won the whole family February 19, 2008

The original Shrek was a CG classic or masterpiece. It's truly a work of art in the computer graphics field. The detail in the CGI was AMAZING for its time and it still manages to impress me today. Other animated films like "Finding Nemo" and "Monsters Inc" compare to the beautiful composure, however Shrek is dominantly more humourous.
The movie just has the word clever written all over it. It can definately satisfy a group of young children while also managing to get some adults to laugh hysterically. With this in mind I would advise some parents to view the content before having their children view the film. There is some suggestive material and curse words hidden througout the film. Most parents I've known have avoided showing this film to young children, so if you are one of those kinds of parents, I advise you to have them view some of the Disney films instead. Remember Disney did not make this film.
The voice-overs are great. Some films have tried to make a great voice-over team and sadly failed. Murphy, Myers, and Diaz definately raised the bar and set an example for CGI movies to come. So pretty much what makes this movie work is the talent, humor, and clever animation.
So if you haven't seen this film, pay some tribute to American filmmaking and get this American Classic. It was a huge success because it was such an original and fun film. Don't miss it for the world.
