Shrek or Shrek 2 - Which is the best?

I love them both and honestly find its gruelling to do this but I want some differing opinions.

Shrek (the original) definetly has the most appealing and straight forward story with Shrek being sent to rescue Princess Fiona hence falling in love with her and the rest is history whilst the second doesn't really have a good flowing story and really relies on the characters performances more than anything + it has Puss in Boots which really helps it alot.

I think Lord Farquay was also a much better villain than The Fairy Godmother (despite being voiced by the fabulous Jennifer Saunders)

Overall I think I'd go for Shrek though.
 
Shrek 1 had the better story.

Shrek 2 had the better jokes. "It's a thong!"

I would rate them the same as eachother though, 9/10 each, both brilliant films.

Paddy :D
 
Shrek 2 for me.

Does anyone else have trouble watching the first film all the way through? I never seem to manage to do it now.
 
DEFINATELY the origional for me :)

second one was good, but a bit too smooth. Wasn't convinced by the "lets be ugly" sentiment second time round either. It seemed less genuine/heartfelt and more contrived.

Also was I the only person expecting the cat to be an "enemy in our ranks" and was slightly disapointed when he wasn't? (yes? ok then!)

Finally, a more twisted storyline and John Lithgow clinched it for me!
 
Shrek 2! u gotta love puss in boots! i heard its just shrek 3 next where
princess fionas father dies so shrek is up next to be king, but he doesnt want to be so they look for a new king and all they can come up with is king arthur
