Review of Shrek 2 (2004) by Dylan D — 18 Mar 2015
Shrek 2 is prototypical of a successful sequel; it's basically the first movie repackaged, telling a different story but ultimately coming down to the same basic core values that are framed within a structure that's familiar but more highly polished than its predecessor.
Indeed, the core theme running through both Shrek and Shrek 2 speaks on the importance of being oneself and loving for all the right reasons rather than hating, dismissing, or questioning an individual for what they look like rather than who they are.
It's only when the characters try to become something or someone that they're not that their happiness and Fairy Tale existence is jeopardized. It's basic stuff to be sure, but Shrek 2 does it better than most.
