anyone who watched it in cinemas when it first came out and didn't think it was one of the most visually amazing things they had seen is a lying piece of shit.
Watching it on TV some 13 years later and judging it is not giving the film its fair due.
will i go see the 2nd one? i will absolutely not.

@mariner4life cant even remember if i saw it in the cinema, thats the other thing...so long between them!

yeah agree with this, couldn't imagine wanting to view it now. However at the time I could appreciate (and wowed at the world that was created), even if I wasn't sold on the story. Even Cameron couldn't make Worthington more real in a CGI role lol
Would I watch the second..yes because I tend to watch a lot of shit, would I pay to see it, hell no

@bayimports will be very interesting how id does at the box office, different world
there will obviously be load of people that loved the story and have been waiting for the sequel, but i feel there will be less people that will go just see the amazing special effects, and maybe some that are just over it after waiting so long

I'm less likely to go see the sequels than I was right when the movie finished as the footage from the new one wasn't very good. But then it could be like Into The Spider-verse, I saw footage of it and it looked average and it turned into one of my favourite movies that year.
I assume the first sequel will do pretty massive business and then will follow the Star Wars model of the next two only doing big business, not sure what happens with all the subsequent sequels.

I’ve never seen Avatar. The other half got free movie tickets for her birthday. Given the dearth of good quality flicks coming out I’ll suggest we go to that.
Sorry, are you thinking avatar will be anything but cringey arse? Go in with that thought, and at least you won't be disappointed.

Just because he got his dick sucked and put his tail in a blue horses' vagina, that doesn't stop him being human.
Don't think I've spit my muesli out so much since someone (forget who) said Clive Woodward was the sort of bloke who kept a freezer full of woman's feet in his garage.

I'm not a lying piece of shit and that's exactly what I thought. I didn't think the animation etc was much of a step above the likes of Shrek etc.
I do acknowledge though that due to my various eyesight impairments, I've always struggled with 3D glasses which may have impacted it.
And yes, the story is piss weak.

@MajorRage it did occur to me at the time its "easier" for movies like avatar as almost nothing they are CGI'ing has a real world counterpart...you know what i mean?...there aren't floating mountains in the real world for people to compare too and go..."that dont look real!"....of course it doesn't...its a floating mountain....so yeah...much closer to a fully animated film....slightly more than shrek....but i agree with the main point

Auto Focus is so fucking good. Bob Crane, aka Colenal Hogan, what an amusing creap!

Shrek

Nearly had Chris Farley!
And had major kiwi influence!
Edit: this gives an idea of the commercial impact of Shrek and its sequels

It wasn't that great, not realistic at all. I thought it was average, and that was on top of shit characters and a boring story
