I’ve been reaaaaaaaaaly down in the dumps the last two/three days, and I gotta say, I’ve never laughed so hard in a movie in my entire life. I didn’t laugh much yesterday, wasn’t exactly what you call a good day, but when me, my mom, and aunt watched shrek in my room at 8PM, I was happy again! Truly, has anyone seen a movie funnier than this? My lungs and hands were hurting at the end of this movie! What I loved the most was all the quite subtle jokes through out the film. Jokes that only adults could understand. Like when the jinger bread cookie says “eat me”… I couldn’t stop laughing! And when shrek blew up the frog to give to the princess, and then she made him a ballon out of the snake… FUNNY! Hehe, I know I’m sounding lame now, but I’ve never laughed so hard in my life. The end was the best though, when they had this huge music parody. When donkey started singing “I like big BUTTS and I can not lie, you other brothers cant deny” *Jon at that moment died laughing* Anyway, I give this a 10/10… what everyone else think of it?

I love it, I have the DVD of Shrek and it's a sensational film. The only animated film I would rate higher is Toy Story. Shrek sure is funny as Bart182 mentioned and The digital picture transfer onto DVD is breath taking, Eddie Murphy does a great voice as the Donkey. To sum up I rate this film 92/100.

Great movie. Funny as heck - "Shine your shoes, wipe your . . . face." I wasn't all that impressed with the opening sequence, but the movie just kinda grows on ya. And I'm not sure how much more Disney-bashing they could have gotten away with, which is great in my book. But what Shrek did best, IMHO, was it's use of intertwining images - like the guys grabbing the pitchforks turning into Shrek picking up the spoon, and especially the sequence where "Halelujah" by Rufus Wainwright is playing and Fiona and Shrek are being torn apart internally. Sheer brilliance. Also, the soundtrack was exceptional, each song fitting perfectly into its placement.

I don't think they can do a sequal - Shrek was about and its success was in challenging the should-be's of fairy tales - I don't think they can duplicate that.

Shrek is fantastic. So nice to see a really good movie without 45 minutes of Disney promos before it. That "I like big butts" got me in hysterics. I thought the development of the dragons' character was the best I've seen in ages.

I agree with VF. Precisely the reason why I am dead set against a sequel. Originally posted by FishyJoe: Plus the Monkees out-rock Smash Mouth any day I agree 110%

I thought it was good, really good... Not the best I've seen but absolutely not the worst There were some really hilarious jokes and some less funny. The music was overall quite bad, but the credits-music and the flute music was reall really great. And the voice-overs was really terrific! It is probably the best computer animated movie i've seen. Some really beautiful scenes, like on the cliff the first night with the princess. Graphics: 9,5/10 Voice-overs: 9/10 Music: 5/10 Ending: 8/10 Overall rating: 7/10

I really enjoyed the film, but the few niggly problems I had with it were in the story line. But incase anyone hasn't seen it... First, that the Princess' other form was the same as Shrek left me thinking, "ohho, really?"  Plus the Prince's evilness was never really developed, he just seemed a not so nice person, nobody really evil. But apart from that I thought it was great!

I loved the movie... cuz I saw it with one my funny friends making everything funnier when they laugh at the funny bits too. However since seeing Monsters Inc. I might have to think again....

I loved them both, but I must say that I liked Shrek 2 better. It had more subtle humor that was geared for the older audience.

Shrek is good, but I'm holding my opinions until after I see Shrek 2.
