ORIGINAL: Axel Foley Totally agree Puss in boots if fab. I think the reparteee he has with Donkey is classic buddy dialogue, "You still look like an ass to me", that kind of thing. Bitching at eachother, but their characters contrast so well. Shrek 2 in general isn't as clever or good as the first film, but there's more than enough good stuff there. Really it's more a mark of how good Shrek was, than Shrek 2 being bad. The story isn't so much an inverse fairy tale anymore, rather an alternate version, and the themes are still there. Who do you want to be or how do you define happiness. And they throw in some more, with the familial relationships as experienced by Fiona. And it's all brilliantly put together, there's never a dull moment. I especially love the dinner scene "Shrek... Fiona" with the camera cutting from various povs around the table. It's funny and technically dazzling. And the introduction of Puss is class, he's one scary feline, until he succumbs to the furball. I hope there's enough material to explore in a third one. Donkey and Puss hitting the road would be good enough though! I completely agree. Also, the trailer for the third one is quite funny, so it looks like they've recaptured the fun of the first two.
