Shrek 2 is a typical product of what is wrong with Hollywood movies at the moment. Spend the money on technical effects and talent. Don't worry too much about the storyline. I would even find it arguable that the second movie is technically superior to the first. Yes there are great hair flicks in slow motion, but so what. This is a prime example of "Look what we can do now."
My instincts were right about missing it at the theatre and waiting for the DVD. At least I could stop playing the DVD and take a break every now and again. And who was responsible for the crappy sound. In these days of DTS and Dolby Digital they should be taking advantage of it. They have the world in their hands and can create sound that puts you in the film, but what I got from Shrek 2 was something like a mono soundtrack from the 50's.
Thank goodness I only rented the DVD and I can give it back. Huge disappointment. Doesn't even make it on the rating scale.
