It's not as 'strong', storywise, as Shrek 2 .. but there are many genuinely funny moments and scenes .. and (somewhat surprisingly), much of the humor is character-based;

Doesn't surprise me. :)

ShyViolet regardless, will like it because its DW, likewise Daniel will love it, because its a sequel! Laughing
Wow, Dan, you can predict the future too! (Just like Ben. :) )


:wink:

PS:

I realize that there might be a whole lot of anti-DW onslaught (I mean in the on-line animation world in general) coming up soon and if there is, like I said I'm not going to get all upset. People have a right to feel how they feel.


I just feel differently. :wink: :)

Your telling me!

Have to admit, again? That's more than love, methinks. ;)

Anyway, the two times I've gone, they said you have to buy something, to be able to purchase the cups. I always end up getting something regardless, so its real no hassle for me. The toys are cute, though, so I would just buy the Happy Meal. Your choice.

By the way, got Shrek today! :)

Your laughing because its true, huh? ;)

Nice review, droo! You've calmed a few of my worries, and it does sound very good.

Some guy on the radio my mom was listening to said this was the best of the three...Let's hope he's right!

Then there would be 10 that are negative. Wow, only 3 votes seperate it. That's almost half.

It comes out in theathers tommorow.

That's the same way I feel. I want it to be good. I'm sure it probably won't be as good as the first two, but it could suprise me. :)

It was on the cover of quite a lot of newspapers (in the Entertainment top section.)


The general consensus seems to be that it's a good, enjoyable film, but not a classic like the first 2 were. Not "great" but not terrible either. :wink:

I hope it's great.

I remember when Pirates 2 came out, it got terrible reviews. Then I saw it anyway and thought it was fantastic. I think pretty much everyone who saw it agreed.

Here's hoping Shrek 3's the same!
