The greatest fairy tale never told.
It's COOL
The Prince isn't charming. The Princess isn't sleeping. The sidekick isn't helping. The ogre is the hero. Fairy tales will never be the same again.
Its Big!
Shrek is a big ogre who lives alone in the woods, feared from all the people in the land of Duloc. When Lord Farquaad, the ruler of Duloc, exiles all the fairy-tale beings in the woods, Shrek looses his peaceful life and his home becomes a refugees camp. So, he sets 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 newfound donkey friend...

THE MOST HILARIOUS MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN!
posted on 24 Aug 2009OMG! I can't tell you how much I love this movie! Every minute, there was something to laugh at! The end was the most funny! The whole place couldn't stop laughing! We were all cracking up! I know I was red like a tomato! And I was so glad that there's a "family" movie for kids and adults! Anyone can see this and will laugh to pieces! Eddie Murphy totally cracked me up as the smart-talking donkey! Well, what can I say? The whole cast was PERFECT! And the animation...God. I couldn't believe in some scenes that it was animated! Anyone who hasn't seen this movie...YOU'VE GOT TO SEE IT!!!!! I GAVE IT 10/10!
The BEST animated movie yet.
posted on 18 Aug 2009This is the movie that Disney doesn't have the guts to make. It takes every fairy tale cliche and rips them wide open. Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz, and Eddie Murphy give bravura performances as the voices of Shrek, the Princess, and the Donkey respectively. When I first saw this film, I couldn't stop laughing until the closing credits started running. I have seen thousands of animated movies (especially Japanimation (also called Anime)), but none has made me laugh as hard or for as long. The best cliche-bashing comes from John Lithgow who voices Lord Farquaad. Talk about over-compensation, WHEW! He plays the part so straight it would give you a stroke to try to keep from laughing at him. I have seen this film several more times since...and I STILL laugh hard every time I see it. This film is fun for everybody.In my opinion, this is a must-see film. Whether you are five or fifty-five, you will find something to laugh at.
A note on the sequel: If it is at least HALF as good as the original, it will still be GREAT!
Clever send up of Disney
posted on 08 Aug 2009I enjoyed Shrek, but as I watched I could almost hear Katzenberg saying, "take that, Michael Eisner." This thought particularly hit home as they approach the castle of Lord Farquar. Still, Shrek has a good enough story and effects to make the satire do what good satire should do, stand on its own.Oddly enough, at times the satire is more of an homage. The mirror's solo evoked not only a certain 60's-70's game show, but Robin Williams' Aladdin performance (and while the mirror was clever, Williams' performance does not suffer in the least in the comparison). Of course the Beauty and the Beast references are rampant, and again, while the Shrek twist is welcome, the original (well, the Disney original) again well withstands the test of mockery.The tone of Shrek is that pioneered by Rocky and Bulwinkle (TV show, I did not see the movie) and used to good effect in the Princess Bride. Enjoy this bit of clever, and occasionally poignant, satire.
Not your typical "fairytale" - wonderful
posted on 29 Jul 2009I loved the appereances of the "other" fairytale characters. It was very interesting.My daughter is now 2 and a half and she too enjoyed the movie. But I'm not sure if I'd feel comfortable her watching it when she's a bit older.Loved the ending. Happy but not typical.
Silly Waffle
posted on 27 Jul 2009I really enjoyed Shrek, I'm quite amazed that it made a G rating in Australia. But I guess children wouldn't see much of what was hidden below the surface.Anyway, I'm only filling out the form as part of a usability review of IMDB for a uni course I do...Have A Nice Day
A Fairy Tale for Adults
posted on 25 Jul 2009This movie was perhaps the funniest I've seen in ages. Despite being animated, which might turn a lot of adult viewers away, this movie had me and everyone with me laughing so hard we had tears in our eyes. I'm not particularly fond of Cameron Diaz, but even she didn't bother me in this movie. Everyone did great. The characters are oddball, the plot is twisted, and just when you think you know what's going on, the pull something else out of their hat. The whole movie is over the top in such a great way, I can't wait to own it on DVD.
Embarrassing gales of laughter
posted on 25 Jul 2009I laughed so loud during this movie, I totally embarrassed myself. After seeing Shrek, I truly understood the meaning of the word "irreverent". From the titles to the closing song and dance sequence, I was riveted. Each character was fully and wonderfully developed, both on a personal and technical level, but I must say my heart was completely stolen by the Gingerbread Man. Go see Shrek, go, go, go, GO NOW!!!
Shrek
posted on 23 Jul 2009The storyline is amazing, the dialogue is quik and witty. They have a truly allstar cast doing the voices with Michael Myers, Cameron Diaz, Eddie Murphy and John Lithcow. Some of the scenes are comedy at its best and like the entire dragon scene and the scene in the beginning with all the faires. I must admit that I was like really unsure whether I would like this movie at all. It did not sound at all like the animated movies that I usually like to watch. But to my big surprise I love it. The music is also very good even though some of the songs are a bit cheesy. Yeah it is very different from movies like Finding Nemo, Shark Tale and the like but it is still an amazing piece of work and just as good. This movie I highly recommend.
This is a must see movie
posted on 19 Jul 2009There are so few family movies anymore that this one is a must see. There are moments during the movie that you could forget that what you are seeing is animation. Shrek has the cute characters for the kids, and the inside jokes for the adults. I saw this with a group of teenagers and they really enjoyed themselves.
You ARE beautiful...
posted on 19 Jul 2009Though it's said to be the first pure computer graphics created animation("Toy Story" was not that "pure"?). I was attracted by not only the visual effect stuff. It is amusing by its American-styled humors: like Shrek's saying to the princess that he's a "delivery boy". And what's more important, I like the ending, when the princess said "I'm supposed to be beautiful", when the sunset brought her an ugly looking. Then Shrek answered, "But you ARE beautiful!"
a good laugh combined with a "healthy" kick of romance
posted on 11 Jul 2009every once in a while one's heart (even the one of those, who exalt their sense of cynicism, like me) needs a positive kick of overwhelming warmth and a dose of "love conquers it all"-delusion. and if you are just a bit allergic towards those just-a-bit-cheesy-seen-one-seen-them-all romantic comedies, then why not please this need by the prism of humour. "shrek" is lovely cartoon - not only for its really stunning 'reallifelike' animation but for its sense of humour and some of the truely "human" moments. my personal favourite was the eddie murphy's voiced donkey - maximum points for choosing him to do the job.
Funny!!!!!!:)
posted on 09 Jul 2009This is a funny movie for all ages. Although it wasn't Mike Myers that was the funniest (don't get me wrong he did have some funny lines) but it was Eddie Murphy that was the funniest. And it seems when Dreamworks makes a family film it always seems that there is always adult humor. In Mousetrap they did it. And in this film they did. But the kids won't get it. But they will love the funny cheasy humor that is in it. Another thing they did was take things from other movies that the kids wouldn't get and wouldn't even be able to see the films they brought it from. It has been a few months that I have seen it but the one I remember most clearly is from The Matrix. It's about thirty seconds but is huge and is on the commercials. But it is a great family film.
An all around pleasant and cheery movie.
posted on 07 Jul 2009Initially the audience of toddlers that surrounded me in the theater gave me a little skepticism about my judgement in going to this movie, but I got to say, I'm happy I did. The movie was really great. The story was simple yet imaginative. The computer graphics where astonishing and truly dazzled the eye. And the actors voice work was highly amusing and added a great feel to the whole package. My only complaint to the movie was the use of Smashmouth's music in the opening and closing sequences of the film. That's a personal thing though, I can't stand the band and their music really didn't feel appreciate to the feel I was getting or wanted from the film. I definitely encourage everyone out there to see this movie on the big screen though, the graphics, while cartoony, are absolutely stunning and it be a shame to miss them on the big screen.
Fun for Everyone
posted on 07 Jul 2009Shrek is a very enjoyable film for everyone from children to adults. Much of the humor is aimed at the mature audience, yet it maintains its "fairy tale" feel. Shrek blends humor and adventure in a fast paced tale that exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend this film for all ages!
BEST DISNEY MOVIE ACTUALLY BEST MOVIE IN HISTORY!!!
posted on 05 Jul 2009I absolutely love this movie, it tops all of my other favorite movies. It is hilarious, i rent it every single time i go to the video store and never ever get sick of it, I have probably spent 200 dollars all together on renting this movie, i am gonna buy the dvd soon though. anyway if you havent seen this movie before, you have to see it immediately!!!!
Personality rules!
posted on 25 Jun 2009One thing that has been missing from a lot of animated films in recent years has been personality. The quickly drawn computer animations have been cranked out, especially by Disney, not to primarily entertain audiences but rather to sell company merchandise that follows. 'Shrek' follows a familiar pattern of romance and friendship but has great production values and some wonderful personality developments. Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy and Cameron Diaz are all perfect in lending their voices to the appropriate character.
'Shrek' is probably the best animated movie since 'The Lion King' (1994) or perhaps even as far back as Disney's 'Aladdin' (1992) or 'Beauty and the Beast' (1991).
Left-field fairy tale left us rolling in the aisles
posted on 23 Jun 20099 OUT OF 10!!!! We went to catch the matinee preview of "Shrek". We were still giggling by the time we got home afterwards. Two hours later, we dragged a friend out and went back for the evening show. Some of the shock value was lost, but we caught a few of the background sight gags we missed the first time, and anticipation of some of the other scenes had us in tears before they even happened. Interesting to see the different audience reactions of different age groups, too. This is a *very* funny movie, but it should be noted that most of the kiddy humour is on the burp/fart and yucky dining habits level - Shrek is rather closely related to Raymond Briggs' Fungus the Bogeyman without the orange mohawk. The dialogue and main action quips are mainly aimed at adults and sophisticated kids. One little voice in the afternoon audience piping up "WHAT's he compensating for?" cracked me up...Be warned that this movie is a non-stop send-up of all things Disney. If predictability and saccharine is your cup of tea, you may not like it. On the other hand, if you are cynical about theme parks and like the idea of fairytale classics getting the Monty Python treatment, you'll love it. Every time a scene looks familiar, it means it is about to go pear-shaped. And it's not just old classics that get the treatment. I spotted (mis)quotes from films that are just being released, both Disney and non-Disney. You name it, it gets an affectionate pie in the face at some point in "Shrek".As a fairytale, however offbeat, "Shrek" is tighter plotted and better characterised than most Hollywood dross.The parodic twists, a love story subplot that owes more to Shakespeare's comedies than fairytale formula, and the "ugly is the new beautiful" Message more than make up for the derivativeness due to extensive quotation.As for the acting, confinement to voice-overs keeps the egos of Myers and Murphy in check, and they do a fantastic job as the big fat green smelly recluse and the obnoxiously manic donkey respectively. Diaz is great as a feisty princess who reminds me of Lloyd Alexander's Eilonwy crossed with Lara Croft. Lithgow's Farquaad is a wonderful Bad Guy, modelled on Olivier's Richard III apart from his Little Problem being different. And the Fairytale Creatures...excellent, all of them. The graphics, of course, are state of the art for at least another 2 weeks. We're talking freckles, skin pores and stubble, pupil dilation, and amazing light-and-shade. They had to tone down the realism of the humanoids to stop them looking creepily android-like.Highly recommended, except for overly precious schmalz addicts.
Realistic 3-d animation becomes fun, hip, even sexy
posted on 17 Jun 2009Animation is for kids, right? Wrong. We're seeing the evolution of a new medium that can give voice to more diverse thoughts than either hand animation or film. This film makes you wonder what is to come in terms of super-real computer animation. Self-aware and knowing humor combined with eye-popping exploitation of the new computer capabilities makes this a delight on multiple levels. Presumably we are on the verge of an explosion of creativity since anything that can be imagined can be represented.Delicious voice performances particularly by John Lithgow as the would-be King, and Cameron Diaz as the Princess. Eddie Murphy as the Donkey is ... shall we say not disappointing.
Could be better
posted on 11 Jun 2009Shrek is good but not great. The story(theme) and animation are good, the soundtrack is brilliant and the voice actors fit the characters convincingly (except Mike Myers, who I feel is miscasted). However, it lacks the energy and humour to make it an interesting film like The Emperor's New Groove. Many parts of the film it tries to make me laugh but fails, at best a chuckle or two.Ironically, the only part that is so hilarious that I can't stop laughing is not even in the original film. That's right, it's the Karaoke Dance Party in the bonus section in the dvd. Overall a good effort, a 7/10 in my book.
Great for kids and adults
posted on 28 Aug 2009Shrek is an ogre living in a swamp. He enjoys his solitude, enjoys scaring off the villagers who try to roust him out, and enjoys a nice bowl of eyeballs for lunch.Enter everyone in fairydom (major fairy tale cameos here). Lord Farquard is clearing the fairy folk off his land and resettling them... in Shrek's swamp.Shrek and Donkey (a talking donkey Shrek accidentally saved from the resettlement squad and now can't seem to get rid of) go off to get Lord Farquard to get all these people out of Shrek's swamp. The result is a bargain. Shrek will rescue a cursed princess from a castle in a lava pit that's guarded by a dragon and Farquard will remove the fairy folk from the swamp.It's a cute movie and there are definitely some funny scenes. It feels like they did a bit of tossing in everything but the kitchen sink when it comes to parodying fairy tales, some modern institutions, and even The Matrix, but the bulk of it works and what doesn't can be forgiven in the face of the many laughs that do come along.All in all, a good cuddly date movie if you've got an evening free, and a good family movie for the weekends. I'd give it a 7/10.
