Shrek 2: My Impressions

No spoilers here...just some quick thoughts from this afternoon's showing:

  • The first half of the movie dragged in places, but the second half rocked, more than making up for the slow spots.

  • The Fairy Godmother looks like Deborah Harry.

  • The references to movies which are three times as old as most of the other attendees were hilarious. Mel Brooks is no doubt sooooo proud!

  • Don't leave too soon when the credits start rolling (not that you would); there's a bonus scene midway through them.

  • Yes, the CGI is really as good as everyone says!

  • But...the CGI artists still haven't mastered a natural walk (human gait).

  • I'd like to know how much Joan Rivers paid the director. (You'll see what I mean.)

"* The Fairy Godmother looks like Deborah Harry."

Are you serious?

Wow! You've definitely got my interest! I wasn't planning on seeing the latest Shrek (loathed the first movie), but I can put up with a ton of drivel for a good "Debbie Harry" appearance (even a CGI clone)!

Don't misunderstand...I don't think the resemblance was intentional. But as I watched the character on the screen, I kept thinking that she looked familiar. Finally, my wife leaned over and whispered "she looks like Deborah Harry" and the connection was made. (But they didn't use Harry's voice.)
