Movie Review: Not as good as
Summary: 3 Stars

the first and second one but still worth the hour and a half. Good for the whole family.

Movie Review: Shrek is back
Summary: 4 Stars

I personally wasn't as crazy about this last Shrek movie as I was the first. But, my grandchildren really liked it.

Movie Review: Shrek the Third
Summary: 2 Stars

They said that this one was the best yet? I must disagree. The other two were great- this one was over-the-top. Neither I nor my husband enjoyed it. Thank goodness the kids did, but even so, its not one they will watch all the time- or even all the way through!

Movie Review: Shrek the Third
Summary: 3 Stars

Well, this is not a bad movie, not a great movie, so I always found those reviews hardest to write. It is basically the same movie we've seen before, but this time without the originality. The only major difference now is that it is in 3D, which I've come to enjoy after Beowulf. It's the same old story, the ogre Shrek, is now filling in as king in Far, Far Away, since his father-in-law is dying. So, with Fiona pregnant for the first time, he goes off to find the only remaining heir to the throne except him, Arthur (a.k.a Artie), so he can move back to the swamp with his wife and leave the throne to Artie. Of course, he enlists the aid of Donkey (played by Eddie Murphy, as usual) and Pus, played by Banderas. Eddie Murphy is simply hilarious in this trilogy, being perfect in his role as the stupid, nagging but goodhearted donkey.

Apart from that there's not really much to say about it, it contains a lot of references to fairytales, European culture, myth and "modern popular culture". Quite amusing at times, but I wonder who this film really is marketed towards. Is it children or is it adults? The children won't get the jokes, and I suspect they would find this movie quite boring. But all in all, if you have enjoyed the other two, you'll enjoy this one as well, only not so much as before.

3,5 stars.
