One of my favorites (2008-10-07)

I must say I like Shrek. So does my princesses. We don't get tired of watching all of his movies. For sure my princesses love the babies. :)

A new magic (2008-01-28)

The third instalment of the Shrek franchise takes the story to a new level compared to the first and second films. There is still a great degree of impressive humour throughout the film as well as some new entertaining characters that add a little something extra to the viewing experience.In this film new themes are explored and one can see the characters progressing a little, actually maturing as Shrek and Donkey have moved from the Odd Couple to a couple of married friends facing the challenges and joys of being grown up and responsible. The film isn't as quick with simple, straight forward humour as the past films, but that's keeping inline with the maturing of the franchise. Rest assured, however, that there is still plenty of good childish fun that kids (and parents) will enjoy; from absurdly funny scenes like Snow White and other princesses mounting an impressive counter-offensive to a somewhat earthy Merlin the Magician who is about as flower-child as one can get without any mind-altering substances. This is a film that families will enjoy to watch together and that's what animated films should be; something that children and parents can be entertained by.

Shrek the Third is three times the fun, three times the comedy, three times the laughter!! (2008-01-07)

Shrek the Third is one funny movie and better than Shrek 2. The movie begins with Shrek and Fiona assuming the duties of the King because Shrek's frog-father-in-law is ill. Somewhere far away, Prince Charming is starring in a play and making a mockery of Shrek and vows revenge when he learns that the King is ill. Shrek is told that he is next for the throne- a job that he doesn't want. He sets out to find Arthur, who turns out to be clumsy and like Shrek is mocked and insulted and is subjected to all kinds of jokes. Fiona tells Shrek that she's pregnant and he has nightmares about it.Shrek the Third is the best animated film of 2007!!

Should have stayed with 2 (2007-11-24)

I was looking forward to watching this movie, having thoroughly enjoyed both previous ones. It was disappointing. The story was not interesting and the real laughs were few and far between. In fact, if you've seen one of the trailers, you've seen the best bits of the movie. Save your money and rent this one instead of buying it.

Where Did The Magic Go? (2007-11-18)

Shrek turned out to be a an unexpected hit when it was released in 2001 and expanding on the succes of the first one Dreamworks studio ultimatly made a sequel,the simply titled Shrek 2 wich was not only better at the box office than the previous but also better as a movie.Shrek The Third,the second sequel is somewhat lacking what the previous two movies in the franchise had,orginality.Yet it stills manages to keep young and old fans satisfied,as there is still plenty of the same humor that made the other Shrek films so good.I was pretty sure they could never top Shrek 2 and this third movie didn't.The plot and humor sadly aren't as good as they could and should have been,even if some parts are funny like Pinocchio and Gingerbread Man's parts.The plot for this third movie in the Shrek series,is with the death of Fiona's father King Harold,the king of Far Far Away,Shrek becomes the next king.The thing is he doesn't accept that responsability so he goes on quest to recruit the perfect king.His choice settles on a young boy named Arthur but before he can bring him to his throne,Far Far Away is being invaded by Prince Charming who beleves HE must be king and an army of villains.The execution of the script to the big screen was rather average,nothing really special except a thing or two that was funny but i think that after this rather disapointing third movie Shrek has miles ahead if they want to recover their former glory.For Dreamworks its pretty much "Well,as long as it gets us cash" situation but they should pay closer attention to Shrek 4 cause if that one turns out like the third things are going to get bad.The visuals are one thing that they have actually done better than Shrek 1 and 2.They look stunning for a 3D movie and can only get better in future Shrek movies,its good that they stuck with the same kind of visuals as well.Still i can't deny that i was disapointed when i walked out of the Movie Theather,it just wasn't the same thing than with the first two.Those where magical,histerical movies,filled with great moments that i still remember today.With this third instalment of the series i can't say it sucked but i can't say it was that great either.That said its still satisfying but just not up to par with the first two films in terms of appreciation.The soundtrack remains great as the others with some classic and new songs,notably Led Zeppelin's classic "Immigrant Song" wich was played during a part of the movie's commercial.Its nice that despite everything they still have the orginal voice actors after all that time.Have anyone else noticed how the camera is less on Shrek,Donkey and Puss than in previous movies?It also seems to be aimed at a younger audience than the first two,its more fart jokes and such.As a mature person i would have to stick with my rating and opinion and give it a three,if it is rated for a kid movie then it would get a five,if you have kids by all means buy it for them they will have a great time.Lets hope for the next Shrek movies they turn out better than "Shrek The Third".
