My problems with Shrek 2 are more about where I saw it than the film itself. The first time a character appeared on screen and said a line a kid in back of me said at speaking level, "I like that guy." And just went on from there. The parents made a futile effort to get him to quiet down. I moved to the side seats, which were empty a couple of minutes later. I made a conscious effort to go to a late show to avoid rug rats and ankle biters, but to no avail.
The round shape of the theatre also had the strange effect of putting the voice of one of the kids who was sitting far away right in my left ear through the entire show.
All that being said, I really enjoyed the movie. It took me about 30 minutes to warm up to the characters again, but after that I thought the jokes were excellent and the plot was great. I think they could have lost Puss in Boots, but hey, every franchise needs lots of characters to sell as plush toys.
