Shrek 2 Trailer Released

ParticleMan911 writes "The Shrek 2 movie trailer (other formats) has finally been released by Dreamworks. Apparently Dreamworks has a goal to release 2-3 animated movies every year through 2006. Will Shrek 2 live up to the original, or will it be a dissapointment like most sequels?"

  1. No ":" in title == good by G4from128k · · Score: 5, Funny

    My theory is that movies with colons in the title are bad. Its like the studio knows the movie is crap but hopes that one part of the title or the other might attract some paying customers.

      Oh, you mean like "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King"? Yeah, that one will surely blow chunks...

    Eddie Murphy turned in his best performance since Beverly Hills Cop in the original Shrek movie. I am dying to find out if he can duplicate it. Thank you for existing Eddie Murphy. Where would my life be without you?

    and I'll bet they haven't paid their SCO license fee yet. I won't be taking my children to see any movie that was made using stolen IP as it would be teaching them that stealing is OK.

    The clip looks promising, but good christ did they have to use a Smash Mouth song again? The end of the first one makes me cringe.

    Will Shrek 2 live up to the original, or will it be a dissapointment like most sequels?

    I thought a sequel to Shrek was already released this summer and it sure was a dissapointment. I'm sure it was a sequel, I saw the same green guy in it.

    ... oh wait, the title was 'hulk' or something, so maybe it was a different film. my bad...

  9. John Lithgow & Cleese by Antarius · · Score: 1, Funny

    John Cleese is in the sequel? Cleese & Lightgow play very well against each other, so I'll be waiting to see how that pans out.

    (I've often compared Lithgow in 3rd Rock to an "American John Cleese.")

    But Lithgow's character is back? How, pray tell, do you come back after being swallowed whole by a whopping-great-dragon?

    (Or do I *really* want to know?)

    Only John Cleese could make something as simple as 'Ah!' sound funny.

    This is shaping up to be a good movie!

    ... let's talk about the movie.

    I note that John Lithgow (Lord Farquad) is in the credits for Shrek 2. Is he going to be the antagonist? How, as a steaming pile of dragon-shit?

      What, you were expecting continuity? How 'bout The Whole Nine Yards, where Kevin Pollack's character was shot, the body dragged around a while, and then said body left in a car that got torched - only to reappear as the bad guy in the sequel?

    Or maybe the Slashdot editors actually went and saw it and are reporting on their own opinions of the movie? (To whit, that it sucked and blew at the same time, and did both with great force)

    And it was a little more than 25 comments. In fact, almost every opinion I've seen of the movie from people who aren't die-hard fans and would have liked it even if the machine city had turned out to be filled with clones of Jar-Jar Binks is, at best, "it could have been worse."
