    Simply put it is the best animated movie to come out since the Lion King.

    A VERY well done movie.

    We must have been watching a different movie.

    I had NO desire to see ANY of the movies that were playing last night, but due to you two having such high opinions of this movie, I took a chance. Now both of you can go to hell. [​IMG]

    Seriously, though, I don't know HOW it was enjoyable. There were a few funny moments--I won't deny that--but I found it largely stupid and very NON-funny, for the most part.

    Shrek was really amazing. Mike Myers and Murphy were a good combo. Gotta love the gingerbread man scene. I'm 20 and saw this movie so age isn't a factor. Very amusing film, and highly recommended. Also, the graphics are awesome.

    I thought it was pretty good. I went to see it because I'm a big Eddie Murphy fan, and he didn't disappoint me.

    When I saw the gingerbread man on crutches at the end, I almost died laughing because it was so funny. [​IMG]

    I saw this movie tonight, and thought it was pretty hilarious. The ending was a bit preachy and expected, but hey... kids were the audience, and you can't fault what they were trying to say.

    Much more worth my money than Pearl Harbor [​IMG].

    The gingerbread man was hilarious. I thought it would be a kids film, but it really isn't geared towards kids at all. This was especially funny, because there were many kids in the theater. During some of the jokes that I know they didn't get (like the castle "compensating for something else" joke), they laughed hysterically. I guess they were just imitating the adults.

    Anyway, it is not a kids film, and it was pretty funny. Certainly something I would recommend seeing, especially if you have free movie tickets to it. [​IMG]

    So, me and my wife are standing there at the theater looking at the "big board".... There's nothing showing that appeals to either of us (that we hadn't already seen). So, I tell her that I'd heard good things about "Shrek", and we might as well risk it. It is a cartoon after all, how bad could it be?

    Well, we were very happy with our choice afterwards. It was funny. It wasn't great, but it was good.

    One thing though, I don't like the computer animation nearly as much as the drawn animation. Why do the characters have to be all shiny and crap? 8 quadrillion dollars and everyone has a sheen about them... sheesh.

    Dreamer,

    They don't have to be shiny, it is a stylistic choice.
