Directed by: Andrew Adamson, Kelly Asbury
With voices of: Mike Myers (Shrek), Eddie Murphy (Donkey), Cameron Diaz (Princess Fiona),
Julie Andrews (Queen), Antonio Banderas (Puss)

Saw Shrek 2 today, the sequel that brings a new twist to the "happily ever after" one had in mind after the first movie. Well actually not today. During yesterday and today, because I have it in my computer. How it got there is another matter. Anyhow, I liked the sequel (perhaps the only sequel I've ever seen, having seen the first movie) as much as I did the first movie, because it brought surprises at every turn. It was a well mastered movie, with little details here and there that made viewing it much more fun that it would have been without. (Like the people running from one Starbucks to another when Mongo destroys their namesake coffee cup. I bet you didn't see that). The Hollywood allusion was also clever. My favourite character undoubtedly is Puss, whose respiratory problems made it hilarious to follow. I've even put up a photo album page for the little character, whose deceptively cute attire sometimes overshadows a more menacing character. It was a great addition to the film. For those adults who might find it hard to enter a cinema when this movie is on, shame on you. Bring out the child in you and follow this fairy tale story that tells us all some thing we ought to know. 4 stars out of 5. Lacked finesse in some parts of the movie, with still other unexplained. Liked it very much nontheless.
