I think's it's perfectly reasonable for a person to grow tired of a movie with too much marketing.
Personally, I have lost interest in seeing Shrek 2. I liked the first one, but after seeing all of the marketing tie-ins, I'm sick of Shrek. It's not small things like appearing on the side of a Coke bottle either. I'm talking tie-ins with the manufacturers of popcorn, soda, fruit snacks, potato chips, cereal, slurpees, Cheetos, "Bellywash" (I'll let you figure out just what the hell that's supposed to be....), Hamburger Helper, pizza roles, waffles, candy bars (Kudos, M&M, Skittles, among others), baking kits, and many more products that have nothing in common with Ogres or fairy tales. Oh yeah, and I think there may be some media coverage too.
I think that all of this is just too much. I'm simply burned out on all of this stuff. I have no doubts that Shrek 2 will be a blockbuster, but at this point, I'd rather not see it.
