By what I've seen in movies, sequels are divided into three groups, the first is when the sequel surpasses it's procedure, the second is when the sequel is about as good as it's procedure, and the third group is when the sequel is not as good as it's procedure, some first group movies include 'Spider-Man 2', 'The Dark Knight', 'Toy Story 2', 'Toy Story 3', 'Terminator 2', and 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest', the second group includes movies like 'Iron Man 2', 'The Mummy Returns', and 'Ice Age: The Meltdown', and of coerce, the 'third group' movies, which seem to be the most common include 'Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer', 'Men in Black II', 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen', 'Spider-Man 3', 'Night in the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonians', 'Rush Hour 3',and 'Pirates of the Caribbean: at World's End', so as you can see each group contains a group of movies, the third group includes the most though, anyway, where do you think Shrek 2 belongs?
The story follows Shrek and Fiona going to the kingdom of far far away, to get Fiona's parents'' blessing, but Fiona's father, King Harold is not pleased with his daughter marrying an ogre, and wants them to not see each other again, so he gets help from the Fairy God Mother, her son Prince Charming, and a famous ogre killer 'Puss in Boots', in order to get his version of a 'happily ever after'.
Shrek 2 brings in a handful of new characters, such as 'Puss in Boots' who is a famous ogre killer, hired by king Harold to kill Shrek, but later, he joins Shrek and Donkey in their quest to get Fiona's love back, the Fairy God Mother, who is the main villain is introduced in this movie, is a fairy, who gives people there 'happily ever after', and believes that ogres should not live happily ever after, another new character is Prince Charming, who is the second villain in the movie, is the Fairy God Mother's son, who intends to merry Fiona, and another new character is introduced, 'King Harold' who is Fiona's father, and the cause of this whole situation.
The jokes in this movie where mostly hilarious, some better than the jokes in the first Shrek, such as Donkey's version of 'are we there yet', Puss's puppy dogg-ish face, spoofs on many famous cafés and restaurants, the scene when Shrek turns human and three girls become totally interested in him, the scene when Shrek and Fiona return from their honeymoon and Donkey keeps on annoying them, Donkey's Shrek impression, Puss's first appearance with Shrek and Donkey, Prince Charming calling the Big Bad Wolf 'gender confused' and allot more great jokes are found in the movie.
The movie mainly suffers from the same mistakes as the first Shrek, such as the sad scenes with the background music, the ending, and the strong fairytale theme, but otherwise, the Disney Spoofs are very strong, especially the Prince Charming and Fairy God Mother Spoofs, but however they were less than the Disney Spoofs in the first Shrek, and some spoofs may get a bit annoying.
The second Shrek is honestly as good as the first, suffering from the same mistakes, and having the same strong positives, which include a strong story, strong new characters such as Puss in Boots, hilarious jokes, and Disney Spoofs, all of that made Shrek 2 a very easily compared movie to the first Shrek, meaning that it's as good, and that It belongs in the second group of sequels, the group when the sequels are just as good as the originals.
