Fresh and Exciting
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
"Shrek 2" is no where near as good as the first movie, but still happens to be a well done sequel. The animation got better, the voice acting is just as good, the story seemed to be well developed, and the setting of the movie was really good looking and managed to make the film itself work solid enough. Pretty good sequel.
Almost as enjoyable as its predecessor if not more, Shrek 2 may lack the freshness of the first film but it retains most of the elements that made Shrek such an all-round success. Making fab use of its new plot, setting & characters, it's a fun-filled ride that's well-capable of standing on its own.The story of Shrek 2 follows Shrek, Fiona & Donkey as they are invited by Fiona's parents to celebrate their marriage. Unaware that the newlyweds are both ogres, her parents try to hide their repulsion and have trouble getting along. Meanwhile, there is a plot being set up to destroy their relationship.Nicely written & directed, the sequel expands on the original's story and applies the same formula as before which results in a familiar wit but it carries a sharpness that makes majority of its gags work. The reprising characters still have a charm to them while the new ones are colourful & interesting in their own ways.The animation is richer in detail, more refined in rendition & offers a better vibrance to its frames. The plot isn't always compelling and hits a few snags in the middle but it also recovers sooner than expected. Voice actors, including new ones, chip in with excellent inputs, while the songs & score help keep its adventurous vibe alive.On an overall scale, Shrek 2 is another fascinating, entertaining & satisfying delight from DreamWorks Animation that will manage to amuse most of its viewers if not all. A skilfully crafted, swiftly paced & splendidly animated lighthearted adventure, Shrek 2 may not be as memorable as the original but it's a competent sequel that offers its own set of fun, laughter & thrills.

Although not as original and smart as the first film, Shrek 2 is equally funny and irreverent, introducing new adorable secondary characters in an excellent animation that never ceases to be a lot of fun for both adults and kids. Rarely a CGI-based sequel ever is seen. But Shrek 2 delivers in more ways than one. Fantastic layout and raunchy story with a blend of colorful cast-mates, Shrek 2 goes above and beyond the realm of CGI-films.
