I think the movie is very average for an animated film, and don't really like it that much. Why are so many people into it? It used to be my cousin's favorite movie!

The first one was very good in a moralistic and comedic sense.  And the second one was pretty funny as well.  So ya know, could source of revenue for Dreamworks.

Everyone enjoys a show that makes fun of a bunch of show.. For Shrek, they are making fun of a bunch of FairyTales...

But Mike Myers is pretty cool, so u gotta love the movies =P

I am going to meet my friend in CT on Saturday to see the third Shrek movie. I really enjoy the subtle pop-culture references in these types of movies that go over younger children's heads and a lot of the kiddy humor and other sight gags.

I thought the first one was hilarious.  The second one wasn't quite as good imo, but still pretty funny.

It is a mystery why he is so popular....Just like Chuck Norris. Well, when he was popular, anyway.

He's green.

He's like an alien, but with Mike Myers inside him.

If anyone cares, I came across a review for this film.  Don't worry, it's spoiler free.

The first one was okay, the second...meh. From the trailer, it  just seemed like the same thing recycled from the first two films.

...because the movies are good, but i agree with you on one implication...they're not THAT good.  Harry Potter is much better. :P

because it appeals to all ages (old, young, men, women, kids, teens, etc.)

I personally don't get them.

Same thought has been going in my head as well.. I watched the first two and didn't laugh often at all... but I do like Pinocchio in the third trailer, where he was evading to answer the question where Shrek was. Priceless!

Once again, the Simpsons, I find "freaky". I don't know if it's the way they're drawn, but I just find the show "weird". Same thing with Beavis and Butthead - very weird and freaky. I think it's because I played the Simpsons SNES game when I was like 3 or 4, but there's something about it... It's not that funny either. The few times I sit around with other people and watch the Simpsons, nobody is really laughing out loud for the whole episode. I've also never understood why people like Futurama. I mean, some quick jokes in that show are funny, but once again, not THAT funny. Obviously, everyone has their preference for entertainment, but some things just puzzle me as to WHY they like it.

*shocked* wow :| *shock over*

anyways,I really enjoyed the humor of the first one,donkey was funny trying to run away from a dragon that was falling in love with him.The 2nd one was alright, a little bizarre for my tastes but i think its a lot more entertaining to watch Shrek try and slay a dragon than to get along with his wife's father.

Some people just don't appreciate the comedic value of pies in the face and fart jokes.

I never was able to catch on what the big deal about Shrek was.  Both my parents love these movies yet they have nothing in common as they'd been divorced for almost 20 years. To me, its just another moral generic fairy tale.  As far as animated movies go (Pixar types), nothing beats the Toy Story movies.
