Better off silent
The movie was fun and the jokes were clever... I didn't like the CGI as much as a lot of Pixar's stuff, but it was a good diversion. I just hope they produce a sequel like Toy Story 2 and not like Secret of Nihm 2.

It started a little slow but the last hour was fantastic
Puss in Boots steals the show.
I will definitely see it again. I would rate it...worth full price.

Saw it twice with my little girl. Its better than the first one IMO.
Funniest movie I've seen in a long time, and I might agree on it being better than the first one.
The whole "Pinocchio tell a lie" bit was slapstick funny...

Hold onto the ball, Murray!
I really enjoyed it, but the entire beginning, while funny at moments, went way too thick on the sap. Once the movie really got going, though, it was almost non-stop laughs. Puss-in-boots was incredible.

Watched this a second time tonight, and boy, there were a TON of references with the king and frogs...hard to have missed the first time, but my friends missed them all tonight, and this was their first viewing. Damn fine movie.

The Coming Soon! Box Office Report has been updated with the studio estimates for this weekend. Be sure to stay tuned there for the final figures on Monday afternoon.
DreamWorks' Shrek 2 earned an amazing $125.3 milllion in its first five days at the box office. The $70 million-budgeted animated sequel collected an estimated $104.3 million from Friday-to-Sunday, making it the second-best opener behind Spider-Man, which kicked off its run with $114.8 million in May, 2002. It has become the biggest-opening for an animated film in history, surpassing Finding Nemo's $70 million bow a year ago. The sequel opened in a record 4,163 theaters and its $44.8 million Saturday haul is the best for a single day, beating Spider-Man's first Saturday of $43.6 million. It's the second-best opening of a film for the month of May and is the best debut so far this year, ahead of The Passion of The Christ, which opened to $89.3 million in February. In comparison, the first film made $42.4 million its first weekend on its way to earn $267.7 million domestically. The studio says that they are definitely thinking about producing a third film now.

if the whole movie was as clever as the last half-hour I would say that this movie was great - unfortunately - I thought it just moved too slow at the beginning and really didn't have much of a comic punch until that last half-hour - but as far as most comedies go - or most movies anyways - if you can actually get a great anything - whether it be full length, ten minutes or half-hour that's an accomplishment in today's cinema - I thought the HUGE Gingerbread man was freaking hilarious - reminded me of a combo of the Stay -Puft Marshamellow Man and Mongo from Blazing Saddles.

Great movie!!!
******SPOILERS*******************************
Is it just me, or were there a lot of Lord of the Rings refrences.
One I wasn't sure about:
The part when Puss In Boots jumps back and tells Shrek and Donkey to keep going. Then Puss in Boots turns around and there come the footsoldiers.
Was that supposed to be similar to the part when Gandalf stayed back to fight the Balrog or the part where Boromir and Aragon fought the orcs and told the hobbits to run away.

I don't think it had anything to do with Lord of the Rings...that scene at least.
There were only a few references that I saw...the ring at the beginning, and the Ents in the bar.

I thought the bar scene was an homage to Star Wars.

The Day After Tomorrow made over 80 million at the box office this weekend.
The only thing is, Shrek 2 made 92 million, breaking the record for most money made in a film's second week in release.

Shrek 3 Coming Holiday 2006 Source: Variety
With Shrek 2 having earned $260.3 million at the domestic box office in just 13 days, DreamWorks is scrambling to get Shrek 3 on a faster track, reports Variety. The studio has hired Peter Seaman and Jeffrey Price - who together wrote How the Grinch Stole Christmas - to pen the next installment in the franchise. Jon Zack is onboard as a consultant.
Additional writers, including those from the first films, may be brought on in coming months to polish the script. (The first two "Shrek" movies were each worked on by almost half a dozen writers.) Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz and Eddie Murphy are expected to return to voice the three leads.
As early as January - four months before the release of Shrek 2 - DreamWorks was quietly mobilizing the development of Shrek 3, in which Shrek will contend with King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. The studio is targeting a holiday 2006 release.
