Movie Reviews of Shrek the Third (Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: Entertaining, but nothing new
Summary: 4 Stars
This film was entertaining, but didn't cover any new ground. It was nice to see the familiar characters up to their usual antics, but the story was a bit thin and was probably the reason the movie was so short.
It's really a cable movie that's good for a few laughs.
Movie Review: The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands.
Summary: 3 Stars
Shrek the Third begins with the frog king falling ill and the great green ogre and his wife are forced to play interim - clearly a role Shrek doesn't fill comfortable with. Prince Charming then enters the story with a plan that first calls for him to recruit the forgotten members of the fairy tales - though they want as little to do with him as possible. Back to Shrek, who finds out upon the king's death that there is another heir to the thrown - his nephew Artie.
So off Shrek and the gang go to Worcestershire Academy to thrust the crown of Far, Far, Away onto Artie's head. Upon reaching the Academy, Shrek notices a gallant knight riding atop a magnificent steed and believes that Arthur will make a fine king - only to be informed that this gallant knight is Lancelot and they just step on Arthur. So off Shrek and the gang go to persuade Artie. Meanwhile, Prince Charming and crew are off to capture all of Shrek's friends ... including Fiona and her friends ... and lock them in a dungeon.
Shrek finally captures Artie and then crashes his boat - meeting an elder Merlin. Artie convinces Merlin to use his magic to send them back to Far, Far, Away - which he does only to have a slight mix-up with Cat and Donkey. Shortly upon arriving Shrek and the gang are captured by Charming who ends up letting Artie go. Time for women's lib to come to Far, Far, Away - If the real thing dont do the trick You better make up something quick You gonna burn burn burn burn it to the wick
Ooooooh, barracuda?
I'll leave it there, but Shrek the Third has all the characters you love, plus some new additions. After three full-length films, the charm has simply faded away from the series, but most will enjoy this movie. If you missed the other films in the series I'll list them below:

This is another movie that made my 3 year old granddaughter very happy. Thank you very much for it and the fast delivery.Movie Review: Shrek 3 - still a winner
Summary: 5 Stars
My kids (and I) are huge fans of the Shrek series. Shrek 3 holds up well to parts 1 and 2.Movie Review: Nothing special
Summary: 3 Stars
Though there are a few funny jokes, Shrek 3 just feels long and flat. One can't escape the feeling that we've been here before. It literally is a paint by numbers production designed just to bring in the bucks. I certainly hope that the series end here. It's not a bad movie per se, but it certainly not a good one either.
