this and the happymeal scene
i always wanted to eat at friar’s fat boy as a kid
Those are the best moments plus the fight in the magic factory and the song there
it's better than every other dreamworks movie (except were rabbit)
KNIGHTS
Shrek getting maced with a pepper grinder still cracks me up.
It's such a good visual gag, that entire scene had a hilarious joke almost every second.
Who was recording all that stuff from all those angles?
The camera guys obviously
It's funny and has a lot of memorable moments
Like what moments?
The whole discussion in the Family dinner
>"That's enough, Reggie."
> I'm wearing ladies underwear
puss in boots
But the rest is trash
nah you are
One of the worst Dreamworks/PDI efforts
So she salid what's the problem baby!
Best Eels song used on a Shrek movie.
A lot of genuinely funny moments and interactions
A good story that can stand on it's own and serve as a good follow up to the original
An amazing villain you love to hate that's as funny as she is a legit threat
A natural follow up of the themes of the first film
All the new characters are memorable
Animation that. while not aging the best, is still pretty good (not to mention it aged far better than Shark Tale's did despite coming out the same year, though Shark Tale didn't look good at the start so that's not really saying much admittedly)
Even ignoring I Need A Hero, it still has some of the most iconic and truly spectacular scenes in the franchise (The Dinner Scene, The potion factory escape, Ch-ch-changing!, and plenty more)
Face the facts. It's a genuinely really good movie, both as a sequel to Shrek and on it's own. You don't have to like it, everyone's entitled to their own opinion, even if yours will likely forever be the minority opinion (assuming you're not just saying it to be contrarian which is possible). But not liking something and something being bad are two completely different thing. The Room is pretty objectively a bad movie but plenty of people still like it. Or if you want a Dreamworks movie, Shark Tale is pretty universally regarded as Dreamworks worst movie but plenty of people still like it, even if for completely ironic, memey reasons
This is such a good response it should be used anytime the shrek 2 hater makes a thread
I’ll repost it against him if you do
It's funny, also I don't need to justify my taste to Sharktalegay of all people.
*rampages through dare and into thread*
WHERE HAVE ALL THE GOOD MEN GOOOOOONE AND WHERE ARE ALL THE GODS???????
they planted the catnip
the ugly stepsister joke was funny
Frick this movie
nah frick you. you slimy little turd
>Pork Illustrated: Bacon in the Sun (shows a female pig on the mud wearing lingerie and next to a glass of martini)
>Bacon Flavored Hot 'N Spicy Fried Pork Rinds
>Playboy logo parody
Never seen anyone point out that Playboy reference. Easy to miss.
That's how you do a proper visual joke, give it multiple layers like an onion
The Big Bad Wolf is into a weird scene.
ha ha ha that is too funny man
>"Better out than in I always say!"
Fairy Godmother was an even better villain than Farquaad that fit the themes of Shrek perfectly. Zorro Puss in Boots was also an inspired interpretation, so much so that he's become the second most important character in the franchise behind Shrek himself. It's also just a genuinely funny movie, I remember watching this movie in theaters and everyone busted a gut.
Whatever freshness this had on May 2004 was instantly gone after Shark Tale, Robots and Madagascar premiered a few months later.
Said no one. Shark Tale tried to immitate the success of Shrek 2 but fricked up the formula, Robots and Madagascar had little to do with the formula.
>Shark Tale tried to imitate the success of Shrek 2
It was literally finished by Shrek 2's opening day
I rewatched Sharktale recently and thought it was fine, not as good as Shrek 2 but it was just fine
also if you're delusional enough you could probably interpret the main conflict as being about coming out as a homosexual to pops
the foreshadowing of the king being the frog prince was cool
It’s anti troon message.
They don't even have dental
John Cleese
It's a mediocre film when put against its predecessors.
It isn't on par with PDI's next film either
Antz sucked, Shrek 2 was at least on par with the original if not better, continue to cope.
Also Madagascar didn't get good until the third one.
I thought 2 was the best Madagascar movie, but that's probably because I used to watch Bernie Mac
penguins carried the Madagascar franchise hard
madagascar 2 is the best movie of the serie
>"Dearest Princess Fiona. You are hereby summoned to the kingdom of Far, Far Away for a royal ball in celebration of your marriage, at which time the king will bestow his royal blessing upon you and your prince Charming. Love, the king and queen of Far, Far Away, AKA mom and dad"
>Mom and dad?
>Prince Charming?
>Royal ball? Can i come?
>We’re not going
>What?
>I mean, don’t you think they might be a bit shocked to see you like this?
>Well, they might be a bit surprised. But they’re my parents, Shrek. They love me. And don’t worry, they're gonna love you too
>Yeah, right. Somehow I don’t think I’ll be welcome at the country club
>Will you stop it? They’re not like that
>Then how do you explain Sergeant Pompous and the Fancy Pants Club Band?
>Oh, come on. You could at least give them a chance
>Oh, to do what? Sharpen their pitchforks?
>No! They just want to give you their blessing
>Oh, great. Now I need their blessing?
>Well if you want to be a part of this family, yes
>And who says I want to be part of this family?
>Uh, you did? When you married me?
>Well, there’s some fine print for you
>So that's it? You won't come?
>Trust me, it's a bad idea. We're not going, and that's final
>(Gilligan cut) Hey come on, Shrek! We don't wanna hit traffic!
>seething so hard he's just gonna spam the script again
This dude gives autism a bad name
>2:43: Shrek grabs the chain from the right side of the door
>3:02: Shrek slides on the chain from the left side of the door
Also, how did Puss reach Gingy with his sword despite the distance at 3:17 and why doesn't Fiona have the rose on her mouth at 4:04?
?feature=shared
Look at this moron trying to imitate CinemaSins
Look at this moron defending PDI/Dreamworks' carelessness
You're just an autistic moron that makes nitpicky non-complaints like this shit. No one cares about minor background details not being 100% consistent or perfect.
>moviemistakes.com
that takes me back
COME ON COME ON
TURN A LITTLE FASTER
>C'mon Shrek! Don't feel bad! Almost everyone who meets you wants to kill you!
The C.O.P.S reference was pretty hilarious
CGI aged far better than the first
>the dinner scene
>Sir Justin
>he climbs to the highest BLOODY room of the tallest BLOODY tower
Nonstop jokes
Even corny, overdone jokes are performed with great delivery
Clever foreshadowing
Makes good use of callbacks, not too many
Great opening
The risque jokes aren't TOO risque to be weird
Just as good, arguably better than the first
Tells a satisfying and heartwarming fairytale despite the fact that it parodies a lot about them, isn't mean-spirited
Fiona is really bland in this. Almost a non character. It gives the film an outdated vibe, given the amount of great CG female characters that have come out since then.
name one *great CG female character*
I think Fiona is boring in this, that Shrek is a shell of his former self (plus a real butthole in one of the opening scenes), that Donkey isn't pitiful anymore, that Fairy Godmother is soulless and irritating, that Charming is a one note joke, that Harold isn't sympathetic, and that Puss isn't fleshed out nor does he contribute to the story in any substantial way. Lillian is fine tho.
>had Donkey payed proper attention on the potion room as he was told to, the trio wouldn't have been discovered and thus Fairy Godmother wouldn't have found out that they stole the Happily Ever After potion, which gave her the instant idea of having Charming steal Shrek's indentity
>had Donkey not said "mother!" when the trio was eavesdropping outside the bar, they wouldn't have gotten arrested and the whole climax at night could've been avoided
They had to make Donkey act like a careless idiot in two ocasions to move the story forward. It's annoying how neither Shrek or Puss say anything to Donkey for his incompetence in both ocassions.
Someone clearly didn't watch the first movie if they thought Donkey's character changed, he was always the annoying idiot foil.
>When i was a little girl, a witch cast a spell on me. Every night i become this. This horrible, ugly beast
Dreamworks forgot about that witch. Never mentioned again after the first film. You'd expect Shrek 2 to remind the audience of that line, but nope.
This moronic way of thinking is why we get spin-offs to franchises like Star Wars to explain every single throwaway line.
If anything, it's probably too subtle for his undeveloped brain. The most likely answer is that the curse was either a byproduct of Harold's magically transformed nature or a direct plot by Fairy Godmother herself to bag an easy bride for her son.
Why even bring her up? The cause of Fiona's curse is not the inciting incident of this conflict, it's the resolution of it that is. The witch has absolutely no bearing on Shrek 2's plot. This would be like getting upset over not being told how shrek came to own his swamp in the first film. If it has no relevance to the plot it is not important to discuss it.
Wasn't the fairy god mother the witch?

What a drop in quality after 2001 (although technically speaking, the first film was already finished by the end of 2000)
Impossible to look again at Dreamworks with the slightest bit of sympathy after this c**ty film.
Based. God, what an absolute trainwreck and awful piece of huge garbage. Pic related is much more hilarious and visually pleasant than Shrek 2 and it's a shame that people really forgets this.
>Hello, Harold. You better get in. We need to talk
>Actually, Fairy Godmother, off to bed. Already taken my pills, and they tend to make me a bit drowsy. So, um how about... uh, we, we make this a quick visit... So, what’s new?
>You remember my son, Prince Charming?
>Charming! Is that you? My gosh! It's been years! When did you get back?
>Oh, about five minutes ago, actually... after I endured blistering winds! Scorching desert! I climbed to the highest room of the tallest tower...
>Mommy can handle this... He endures blistering winds and scorching desert! He climbs to the highest bloody room of the tallest bloody tower!
>But, but, but...
>And what does he find? Some gender-confused wolf telling him that his princess...
>If I could just...
>...is already married
>I mean, It wasn’t my fault. He didn’t get there in time
>You see, we made a deal, Harold, and I assume you don’t want me to go back on my part
>Indeed not
>So Fiona and Charming will be together
>Yes
>Oh, believe me, Harold. It’s what’s best. Not only for your daughter, but for your kingdom
>What am i supposed to do about it?
>Use your imagination
This whole film is one rotten idea after another rotten idea.
>sharktalegay continuing to hate a specific piece of media that everyone collectively agrees is good
boy are you the laughing stock of Cinemaphile
Anon, Shrek 2 had bad critics in it's day from animation fans.
Contrarians have always existed anon, if they can't make a non-autistic argument then they aren't exactly right.
>Strawmans strawmans strawmans
The lack of real arguments from the Shrek 2 defenders is so tiresome, f/a/ggot.
Didn't sharktalegay kill himself? It's been a bot skinwalking him for some time now
if that's the case then it's just another barnygay case then with the botting.
>There it is, Mongo! To the castle!
>Mongo! Down here! Look at the pony! That's right! Follow the pretty pony! Pretty pony wants to play at the castle!
>Go, Mongo! Go!
Someone in the writing team liked Blazing Saddles if they named the giant cookie Mongo.
That escalated quickly. There were only 2 knights at the bar

shrek's character arc of becoming pretty because he thinks fiona will like it is an interesting reversal of fiona's arc in the first one, and fairly original writing for a male character at the time.
It's also a natural progression of Shrek's insecurities from the first movie
Shrek only went back to Fiona because he heard the love potion plan. If it wasn't for that, he would've left her with Charming pretending to be him.
Thank goodness this came out 5 months and a half later.
I thought your contrarian autism hated that movie too
Nah it's a masterpiece
>One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do. Twoooo can be as bad as one

>Shrek! Fiona! Aren’t you two a sight for sore eyes! Give us a hug, Shrek, you old love machine. And look at you, Mrs. Shrek. How about a side of sugar for the steed?
>Donkey, what are you doing here?
>Oh, I was just taking care of your love nest for you
>Oh, you mean like sorting the mail and watering the plants?
>Yeah, and feeding the fish!
>I don’t have any fish
>You do now. I call that one Shrek and the other Fiona. That Shrek is a rascally devil
>Look at the time. I guess you’d better be going.
>Hey wait a minute, don’t you want to tell me about your trip? Or how about a game of Parcheesi?
>Actually, Donkey? Shouldn’t you be getting home to Dragon?
>Oh, yeah, that. I don't know. She’s been all moody and stuff lately... so I thought I’d move back in with you guys!
>You know we’re always happy to see you, Donkey
>But Fiona and I are married now. We need a little time, you know, to be together...... Just with each other...... Alone
>Say no more, say no more! You don’t have to worry about a thing. I will always be here to make sure nobody bothers you!
>Donkey
>Yes, roomie?
>You are bothering me
>Oh, ok. All right, cool. I guess. Me and Pinocchio were going to try catch a tournament anyway, so uh, maybe I’ll see y’all sunday for a barbecue or something
