| Shrek : 3 of 5 | |

 Computer generated animation gets better with every film, and Shrek is proof - I have heard that the film makers actually toned down some of the realism that was possible in order to keep the audience in the fantasy world. So, beyond the exquisite animation, what else is good? The story is a fine one, the voice actors are great (especially Eddie Murphy), and some of the jokes are fantastic (the absolutely best scene is the torturing of the Gingerbread Man - who sounds like he was voiced by Devil Doll), but there is one glaring flaw - the music. I think the film makers were trying so hard to make a hip movie that they felt they had to fill it with Top 40 hits. Come on, the opening credits set to Smashmouth's All Star? How tired can you get? I would have enjoyed Shrek at least twice as much with appropriate incidental music. Oh well, you should see it anyway - just be warned.
