1st Border Red Devil Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 Well... got a chance to see Shrek 2 earlier and I laughed my ass off. Antonio Banderas, as Puss n' Boots was a great addition to the cast. Alot of adult humour as well as hilarious gags.....my favorite was a take off on From Here to Eternity in the beginning. Go see this movie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isamu Atreides 86 Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 hell yeah, i saw this last night, and damn it was hilarious. great stuff.... the part i liked was the Knights segment... " We are chasing a white bronco!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoptimus Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 I cant wait to go see this. I loved the first one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaine23 Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 Saw it last night... easily as much fun as the original. Puss N' Boots rules and I normally hate all cats, animated or real. The skewering of LA culture was also dead on... I loved it when Mongo destroyed the Farbucks and all of the people ran across the street to the other Farbucks. I probably could have done without the completely unnecessary Livin' La Vida Loca at the end, however. But all in all, lots of fun. Why is Eddie Murphy funnier as Donkey than he has been in anything since Coming To America? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dies Irae Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 Wonder if Mongo was a parody of Stay Puft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eriku Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 I probably could have done without the completely unnecessary Livin' La Vida Loca at the end, however. Nooo! Is it before or during the credits? I'm going to see this movie tonight but I'd like to be a safe distance away from the theater before that song begins. *shudder* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoBe-Patt Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 Now this was a movie that was worth the 10 bucks I had to pay (forgot my student ID ) Anyway, I might go watch it again. That's how good it was! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsu legato Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 Ok, what movie was Mongo's last line, "Be good..." from? My friends and I were tearing our hair out trying to remember what it was from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JsARCLIGHT Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 Fiancee and I saw it at the noon show today. I liked it and she did too. Might see it again before it leaves the big screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eriku Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 Saw it and loved it! Well, the La Vida Loca scene made me wince, but it wasn't really any worse than Smashmouth doing "I'm a Believer" at the end of the first one. One question, I remember hearing something about baby donkey-dragons in this movie, were they at the very beginning? We came in a little late, during the scene where Fiona wipes the mud off Shrek's face and kisses him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn, I usually stay until the credits are over too. Sometimes, like tonight, the people I go with think that's just crazy. If Ferris Bueller taught us anything it's to sit through the credits!

drifand Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 It was a fun movie, but don't you think the jokes and in-jokes were a little too contemporary? LOTR? OJ? Wait a couple of years and the jokes won't seem as funny anymore. I couldn't finish watching Shrek 1 the last time I spun-up the DVD...

I couldn't finish watching Shrek 1 the last time I spun-up the DVD... nah, it would be too contemporary if a Character named Paris was a dumb, rich floozie or the guy singing at Fiona's ball sang like William Hung. i think it'll stand up. better than any of the uber shitty Scary Movie flicks, anyway.

Jolly Rogers Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 (edited) It was a fun movie, but don't you think the jokes and in-jokes were a little too contemporary? LOTR? OJ? Wait a couple of years and the jokes won't seem as funny anymore. I couldn't finish watching Shrek 1 the last time I spun-up the DVD... The White Bronco chase is how many years old already? The LOTR references were more of a tribute I suspect - Dreamworks poached a lot of animators from WETA when they were still working on ROTK. Edit in: Does anyone find the King looking too much like Mango? Edited May 24, 2004 by Jolly Rogers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaine23 Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 Nice call, Jolly Rogers... dead ringer for Mango... mixed with Ian Holm in From Hell. As for the current jokes... there are current jokes in all kinds of movies that I love and are waaaaay out of date. The way it goes is this - 1. It's funny when you see it in the theater. 2. A few years later, it's very uncool and you go, "that's so a few years ago! Not funny." 3. You watch it several years later and those current jokes slide right by you or just remind you of old days. I could come up with a list full of jokes that were contemporary at their time but still work in older films, but I'm lazy tonight. Usually, the "hate period" for contemporary humor is only a few years, though. Watch Shrek again in 2006 or so and you should be cool.

Gabe Q Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 I laughed and laughed. How rare is it for a sequel to live up to the original? Shrek 2 definitely lives up to the hype. GO SEE IT! I command you. Or else you have to help me swab the ARMD deck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob joe mac Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 I too enjoyed it immensly although most of the scenes were ruined because of the immense amount of times they were used in commercials But yeah the Farbucks and th knights scenes were SO funny.
