Shrek

THE GREATEST FAIRY TALE NEVER TOLD.

It ain't easy bein' green -- especially if you're a likable (albeit smelly) ogre named Shrek. On a mission to retrieve a gorgeous princess from the clutches of a fire-breathing dragon, Shrek teams up with an unlikely compatriot -- a wisecracking donkey.

    Great concept, poorly executed. There were too many plot holes, and the ending felt rushed.

    An intense thriller that kept me guessing until the very end. Definitely worth a watch.

    A solid, enjoyable film. The performances were good, though it didn't really break new ground.
