Sure, the animation work is great, but it's the actors and their subtle, complex vocal performances that make us care about these fairy-tale characters. Shrek 2 is all about fantasy, but its characters are rousingly, affectingly real -- not to mention real, real funny.
As it turns out, Shrek 2 is one of the funniest movies I've seen in years. But I'm far from sure that it's a kids' movie anymore, even though, like its predecessor, it's a thoroughly sugared-up reading of the book, by veteran New Yorker cartoonist William Steig, on which both films are based.

Melhor filme do mundo, uma obra prima, realmente traz uma boa história, você não sabe o que vai acontecer. Enfim, UMA OBRA PRIMA
Report
The voice acting is so alive, the cover songs all surpass the originals, the story is super fun and it flies by. Shrek 2 is up there with the best feel good movies of all time. I fly often and whenever I am on a longer plane ride there are times when you get tired, you feel so uncomfortable and have nothing to do. Put on Shrek 2 and youll want to explode. Absolutely outstanding.

Shrek 2 may be computer-generated, but its innate heart and glorious sense of mischief make it one of the best and most humane movies of the summer.
Reunites one of the best voice casts ever for an animated film to create a shrewd entertainment that again successfully aims its jokes at various age groups.
Shrek is something of a poignant hero here and not terribly ogre-like; Myers obviously wasn't being paid per giggle generated. Diaz's Fiona feels increasingly fleshed out, while the "annoying talking animals" provide most of the laughs.
The lovable characters remain, but they never do much of interest in a sequel that's safely above average but superfluous.
One wishes the same wit and energy had gone into the story. That's Shrek 2 in a nutshell -- very pretty to look at, very hard to care for.
There's nothing better than watching this movie as many times as you can. I found myself loving the soundtrack and just when shrek turns human.

It's about as good as the first movie or perhaps a bit better. "Need a Hero" at the end is awesome.

A change in directors butchers Shrek 2 and heavily undermines the only positive aspects of the first film. With the writing department thrown off the cliff, nothing can save the film from its trend of ongoing stock characters, massive missed opportunities, and rote rehashes of the original.
