Good Points: Shrek movie is fantastic because it made me laugh and it's very good. My favourite character is donkey because he is funnier than other characters and he's very annoying!

General comments: This story is about Ogre, Shrek. He is ugly but he's also good and funny. He is strong and helpful. He lives in swamp. He eat rats. He's brave but he's different from other people. When Lord Farquaad, the ruler of Duloc, exiles all the fairy-tale beings to the woods, Shrek loses his peaceful life and his home becomes a refugee camp. So he sets out to find Lord Farquaad and convince him to take the fairy-tale beings back where they belong, and leave him alone. Lord Farquaad accepts, under one condition. Shrek must first go and find the beautiful young princess Fiona, who will become Farquaad's bride. So the big Ogre begins his quest, along with his new found donkey friend..who will do anything for Shrek... except shut up. He rescue the Princess from a fire-breathing dragon. He starts to like the princess.

Shrek Review.

From the creators of 'Madagascar', DreamWorks pictures present 'Shrek'. Ogres and princesses may not seem your sort of film but with the famous Mike Myers, as Shrek and the hilarious Eddie Murphy as Donkey this film will have your sides splitting. Although it's an animation, Shrek also has romantic side to it; full of spells and curses you may even feel sorry for the disgusting ogre.

Based on a little known novel by William Steig, Shrek is an animated adventure but still has ...

Shrek is a fantastic modern adaptation of the Princess and the Frog story. Animated by the wonderful people at Dreamworks, the interaction of Mike Myers (Shrek) from Austin Powers fame and Eddie Murphy (Donkey) is unmissable. The easy-to-swallow musical numbers, action sequences and heart-wrenching moments are combined with fantastic comedy throughout from the best of the best Hollywood comedians. The star-studded cast includes Cameron Diaz who plays princess Fiona and John Lithgow who is fantas ...

Shrek took three years and two hundred and seventy five animators to make and believe me when I say it was well worth the wait, so this is my review on the spectacular film we call Shrek.

Shrek is a spectacular animated movie a must see. Beneath the skin of the apparently vicious ogre is a sad story to tell. A story of true love between an ogre and a princess with one hidden extra.

Shrek is an ogre that is played by the unmistakable (Mike Myers) he lives in a swamp surrounded by a weird ...

Shrek sets off to poor start with a few farting jokes followed by the well known song All Star. But swiftly moves into an enjoyable family film and by its end we have been enchanted by a fairy tale world of green ogres, fierce dragons, talking donkeys and yes, a beautiful princess who is waiting to be rescued by her true love. But it's no sugar-coated fairytale. And lots of sarcasm for all the teenagers out there.

Though Shrek is an animation, it is not just for the younger generation, most a ...

Shrek is a modern classic, it is a brilliant modern interpretation of shakespears original play, "west side story". For people who like green this film is truly excellent. This film is targeted at adults, children may not appreciate the complex ideas of logical positivism and empiricism suggested by the character of "The Ogre."

On a negative note some of the acting could have been better. I believe the film has been dubbed from the original spanish version and this means some of the lines ...

The underwater sequences were excellant and the acting from Gene Hackman...ooops, reviewing
wrong film.

Shrek is great. The animation detail is superb.
Regards to the DVD, I am told there is an "easter egg" in the DVD, but I can't confirm that.

Shrek (Played my Mike Myers) is an ogre who is required to go on a errand for Lord Farquad to get his swamp back. Shrek makes friends with a little 'Talking' Donkey (Played by Eddie Murphy). The chemistry between these two characters and Princess Fiona (Played by Cameron Diaz) is what makes the film.

Shrek is fun family film. Although a lot of the jokes will be wasted on the children.

So if you want a film to relax and have a good laugh to then there is no better.

This essay shall discuss how Shrek balances, but at the same time breaks the rules of a fairytale. The film was released early in 2001 and proved to be a big hit here and in the US. Shrek is a film for all the family. It includes humour with a little help from a donkey. Donkey cracks jokes about the size of Lord Farquaad and just makes funny remarks in general. Although it is still based on a typical fairytale it does not always follow the typical plot. A hansom prince rescues the princess and t ...

Shrek was an excellent movie. There are some very funny scenes in the film. The jokes are good and the characters are believeable.

You already know Shrek is a good film, so here's something others may not have told you. Suitable for any age above about 5 (we have reservations for our three year old - scary dragon scene, scene set in a dungeon, detached eyeball in close up and gruesome threats etc - she'll love it when she's a little older). Plenty of trumping jokes so may not suit prim relatives - but good fun for children and any other adults. Get the Region 1 DVD if you can - lots more extras - but don't play with them un ...

When all the fairytale characters are driven out of fairyland, they converge on the home of the ogre Shrek, who just can't cope with so many visitors. He goes to the king to sort it out and ends up on a mission to rescue a beautiful princess. Too much more detail would spoil the film if you haven't already seen it, but suffice it to say that there's a twist in the tale and a happy ending. Eddie Murphy as the donkey is great casting. Shrek's accent leaves a bit to be desired, but otherwise the ...

Shrek (mike myers) is the main character... the adorable ogre. His home is threatened by invasion from every other character from every other kiddies film you can think of.
In the hope of retrieving his home, Shrek and his new friend, who happens to be a lovable yet annoying donkey(Eddie Murphy), set off on what turns out to be an unwanted adventure to rescue the princess.

Shrek (Mike Myers) is an ogre-but an ogre with a difference-witty, charming and misunderstood by the 'humans' who live nearby. When his swamp home is threatened, he rises to the challenge to find the local wannabe king, Lord Farquaad (John Lithgow), a bride in return for his beloved swamp home. Aided and abetted by a magical flying donkey (Eddie Murphy), the film is full of hilarious moments with enough to keep us Big Kids smiling too.
