Reviews

Johnny H. Dreamworks struck gold when they released Shrek in 2001: it became the first ever animated feature to win the Oscar for Best Animated Feature, and it showed that PIXAR was no longer alone in the CGI-animation Hollywood race to the top. On top of that, this film parodied and subverted all the tropes of classic Disney movies and traditional fairy-tales by making the 'scary monster' the hero of the story and the most gold-spirited character in the whole thing. It's wonderful stuff that's still laugh-out-loud funny and still a very impressive technical sideshow from the early 2000s.Shrek is a movie that speaks for itself, and I think it doesn't need to depend on its recent spike of internet popularity to show that it's a classic and well done movie through and through. This one's probably one of my all-time favourite animated movies; plain and simply I think it's near flawless entertainment.

doujunsheng It's a very interesting movie. I've seen it many times. the shrek2,3,4 is not as good as shrek.

hecoxjus This movie is like an ogre. It has layers. One of the best Dreamworks movies to date, easily. By layers, I mean different layers of complexity. By far the most prominent element was the humor. It was littered with jokes to appeal kids, and it will make adults shake their heads in disbelief at the nerve of the director to throw in an ass joke or two.Then, there's the plot and premise. The plot is actually really well developed, with some twists, suspense, and creativity. The premise of the fairy tales all existing in one universe is really cool as well. It all works together to create a really entertaining movie for all ages.

EatThatPie This movie is so gud cuz of the memes. It is extra crispy and shrek gave me some valuable life lessons. such as ogres being like onions, because they have layers.The characters are great and i especially enjoy the scene where shrek jumps into a onion-powered mech suit and punches a giant pepe while karate-chopping a t-rex into space. Great movie, 10/10.
