Was Shrek 2 not as good as it was hyped?

i thought the movie was hilarious, especially the part where pinochio had to lie.

I still haven't seen it but I definately plan to sometime during the week.

Okay, I think Queasy answered it for me. However I don't think he was involved in writing for Shrek 2, but I could be wrong. And as far as hype, I have to say that even Shrek 2 wasn't nearly as "hyped" as I'd of expected.

I do agree with a lot of what was said here though. The pinnocio segment was a riot. And did anyone notice the "Pepper Spray" (pepper mills) in the Knights segment?

I thought it was better than the first. The story wasn't quite as solid (but I did like how they turned the concept of good and evil on its head), but the jokes were better (the "catnip" scene has to be my favorite).

Don't get me wrong, it was a good movie. I was sortof expecting a more original script as far as dialog was concerned. A lot seem recycled from the first.

That would be the 'Mike Myers effect'. He recycled alot of the same stuff from Wayne's World into Wayne's World 2 and throughout all three Austin Powers flicks. You kind of have to expect it with anything he is in.

same goes for cat in the hat

I thought the visuals were better, but the novelty had worn out for me - which was surprising, considering I rate Shrek as one of my all-time favourite movies. I still enjoyed the movie, but I believe it was over-hyped.

I thought it rocked! I laughed harder for the 2nd film than the first one. I loved the ending with the little guys coming to save Shrek, Donkey, and Puss in Boots. The gingerbread man cracked me up..."It's Alive!!!"

Oh ya, there is a reference to the Fifth Element in it...I missed it....what is it?

I liked it, hyped or not~

 

[SWScorch]

it was all right, but nowhere near as good as everyone made it out to be. Would have been better had it been an hour longer.

Same, i liked the original much more. Not to say that it wasn't entertaining in the least, though...

Saw it last night. Not nearly as good as the first. VERY disappointed.
