  I just returned from seeing Shrek 2 at the local Carmike multiplex. It was a complete sellout in the three theaters it was running in. Now I know why. It was an excellent movie! I honestly think it was better than the original. In my opinion, the two characters who stole the movie were the Fairy Godmother ( Jennifer Saunders ) and Puss-in-Boots ( Antonio Banderas ). They both played pivotal parts in the film. They were also given wonderfully funny personalities. It was a shame for the movie to end. Just don't be the kind of people who leave the theater right at the end. There are some great stuff during the credits. The previews before Shrek were excellent. There are SO many movies I want to see this summer.
