Shrek 3... Thankfully for us the adventure aint Ogre yet...

PaulaWestwood from , 24th June, 2007

This follows on with our insane collection of cartoon characters all present along with the big man himself. Donkey, Cat, The Gingerbread Man et all are still on top form in this, billed as the 'Greatest Fairytale Never Told', and I couldnt 'Ogree' more, wall to wall green giggles and pure unadulterated entertainment. Long may films, CGI and entertainment of this quality reign. I just cant help wondering why there are so many Lord Farquars on these reviews with negative views, there is nothing to be negative about in this, its just plain old good fun. What were they watching !, come on lighten up, let yourselves be entertained every now and again. A very very high recommendation from us here, its a must see.

Well my friend, you are royally...

JediSi from , 22nd September, 2007

King Harold has just drawn his last breath and next in line to the throne is Shrek, who doesn't particularly feel comfortable with ruling a kingdom. Shrek decides to search for Arthur, Fiona's cousin and third in line to the throne to pass the honour on. In the meantime, Fiona is pregnant; and Prince Charming recruits villains from various fairy tales in an effort to take over the kingdom. The exceptional accomplishment of the Shrek franchise has encouraged Dreamworks to once again squeeze out a tale of a one-time happy ending with 'Shrek the Third'. It was easy to journey with these characters in the original film because the animated genre is extremely compacted with clichés. But a joke can only be told so many times before it starts to wear thin. 'Shrek the Third' may still appeal to younger audiences, but that's about it as far as recommendations go. Shrek may well be starting to overstay his welcome.
