B+ Boston Globe Ty Burr "What works best in Shrek 2 are the smaller roles, the pile-driving pop-culture jokes, and the moments of weird, early-Mad-magazine comic invention..." more... B   Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert "Shrek 2 is bright, lively and entertaining, but it's no Shrek." more... B   Chicago Tribune Mark Caro "All in all, it's a solid if not groundbreaking yarn..." more... B   Cincinnati Enquirer Margaret A. McGurk "An energetic screwball comedy-action-adventure, its pace never flags." more... B+ E! Online "Clever gags and slight wordplay keep things moving fast (and even get a tad racy at times)." more... A- filmcritic.com David Thomas "The most satisfying aspect of this sequel is the fun the writers have with the conventions of the fairy-tale genre." more... B   Hollywood Reporter Kirk Honeycutt "Although the plot shows strain, this sequel is a fun and funny follow-up to an original work of genius." more... B   New York Post Lou Lumenick "...the stunningly detailed computer animation is a quantum leap over the work in the original, which won the first Oscar for Best Animated Feature." more... A- New York Times A.O. Scott "Certainly Shrek 2 offers rambunctious fun, but there is also something dishonest about its blending of mockery and sentimentality." more... C+ ReelViews James Berardinelli "Although there isn't much in the way of a plot, Shrek 2 is populated with clever and amusing sequences, parodies, and pop references." more... B   Rolling Stone Peter Travers "Shrek 2 is double the fun of the original: more magical and more technically assured." more... A- San Francisco Chronicle Mick LaSalle "...it's a slightly zombie-like version, with the size, look and shape of the original movie, but without its lightness or spirit, its soul." more... C+ Seattle Post-Intelligencer Paula Nechak "...it comes with a pair of hilarious voice performances by Eddie Murphy and Antonio Banderas." more... B   USA Today Claudia Puig "...just as funny, sweet and engaging as the first film..." more... A   * Yahoo! Movies converts each critic's published rating into a letter grade.
