I was a bit surprised when I saw Jordan Peele name roll up at the start as a producer and writer for this and it has his hallmark all over it. I loved @Get Out (2017) but you don't expect a strong political message about racism and racial injustice in a Candyman film. Sadly its so prominent that it dominates the story too much.
Working as a sequel to the original it starts OK with some nice back story and scenes about the original told by shadow animation. Although really lacking in the horror department. The film looks good and stylish but it is the wrong vehicle for the message being thrown at you.

This, I feel, is one of those rare cases where the sequel is better than the original.

Here, newly-married Shrek and Fiona travel to "Far, Far Away" (a real place) to meet Fiona's parents - voiced by John Cleese and Julie Andrews - who, in the former case, are initially less-than-pleased with Fiona's choice of partner.

This is also the film to introduce Antonio Banderas Puss in Boots (basically, Zorro) alongside Rupert Everett's Prince Charming and Jennifer Saunder's Fairy Godmother, the latter of whom had previously hatched a plan to put her son (the preening Prince Charming) on the throne, when said son was supposed to have rescued Fiona from the tower in which she was imprisoned in the previous film.

I, personally, this one was the pinnacle of the Shrek franchise.
