Review of Shrek

Shrek (2001)
1/10
Did I miss something in viewing Shrek
13 August 2001
There was little to no story, and what was presented as a story in the advertisements was done away with at the very begining of the film, I doubt that Shrek will hold this high of a rating for a long time (look how fast it took Phantom Menace to fall down the charts).

In terms of animation it looked nice, but sheesh this movie was just another excuse to take cheap shots at Disney, and while most Disney animated films have morals, there was no redeeming value in this movie at all. The moral of the story was what? its okay to be ugly just not short?

The characters were all pretty much annoying, and at the end of the movie which was where the Princess transforms its pretty predictable as I was thinking to myself as the smoke covered her body (okay so she's gonna change into a Ogre I'm wayy Ahead of you guys) its a direct cop out of a the Beauty and the Beast story we all know. I think it would have been a heck of alot better had she transformed into her female human self, and fell in love with the Ogre, at least that way it would have presented a message.

Only message I found here is Peter Kratzenberg hates disney and well he can SUCK MY tape of Toy Story a film that still exceeds every 3d animated film ever made.
