    Shrek the Third and other movies

    by rockey

    To all of you who write a review on a movie that you have not seen such as "I can't wait to see it" or "I think this movie might be good" or "Shrek sucks", cut it out! Movie reviews are to provide info about the movie. It is not supposed to be about you. Please do not clog up the reviews with this junk. Thank you for your cooperation.

    Good Family Fun - For Adults and Children Alike.

    My 3.5 year old and I went and enjoyed it throughly. Personally, I love animated films and if you enjoyed the first two, this one won't disappoint. The graphics and motion are fantastic, good story, and lots of non-offensive potty humour. I will watch this one again. From a parents point of view, I have a few comments. There is a "lot of story" in this one. The complexity and morals went right over my child's head. My child is transfixed when watching movies, but some of the dialogue sceens may loose a little one. Her favorite part of the movie, was when a baby Shrek blurps on the Queen.There was a little too much talk about killing; Prince Charming sole purpose in life is to kill Shrek and restore his happily ever after. That sat wrong with me in the theatre but didn't seem phase my child. She was more concerned with the Frog King dying. I would recommend the movie. I can see us in the future, popping some corn and watching the DVD, once or twice ... or thirty times.

    A movie searching for its heart

    by

    The third insallment of Shrek is once again a testament to amazing art direction and long hours spent in the animation studio. But those long hours could have been served better if the screenwriter had spent that same amount of time developing the script more fully. What the previous Shrek's had in abundance was originality, and this third installment didn't have it. But don't let this stop you from seeing this movie, original or not it is still fun to revisit these characters from Far, Far Away and there are still all the funny puns and sight gags which make the series entertaining. There's even some cute baby ogre's in there. I give it a "Go" but not a "Must Go" because you won't miss anything if you decide to wait and rent it.

    Shrek The Third: Not Third Place

    by mc'smm

    Shrek the Third: Hitting the mark of brilliance very close to the first two. If you liked the first two you will most probably love this third one as well. A very fresh story line, introducing new characters, getting better acquainted with older characters, and of course featuring all the characters all fans have grown to love. Very funny, and fresh. Focusing more on enteraining the older portion of their audiance than the younger children (in making fun of fairy tales - children - particularly younger ones-don't nesseceairly understand the jokes. And even if they do understand, they don't particualarly understand why one would do such a thing). Still even younger audiances are captivated by well beloved Shrek, his noble steed Donkey, and Puss in Boots along will all the others that have become so well known and adored. Shrek the Third is a movie that ultimately, and audiences of all ages can enjoy. A great family film, that is not a let down, even in comparison with the first two film

    Amazing

    I absolutely loved this movie. I saw it at the first show availible and fell in love with it. I think I actually liked it better than the first two Shreks. The music was well placed and the new additions to the cast were good choices. I insist that you go and see this movie!

    My daughter loves it!

    Adults should be ashamed of yourselves for giving shrek a bad rating if you did because this movie is not for you! It is for the kids. My daughter loved it as she has loved all three shrek movies! She waited for this one ever since the commercials came on a few months back for the movie and the look on her face proved it was worth the wait. The movie had some humor for both me and my daughter.

    shrek the turd

    They should have stopped at the second movie. I am a big Shrek fan. I loved the first two movies. It seemed to me the movie script was put together at the last minute. Mike Myers movie lines were very dry and not funny at all. If you watch the movie trailer, you have just seen all the funny parts in this movie. I guess the movie producers ran out of funny material. What a dud... I have a 4 and 6 year old son and daughter and they thought this movie stunk. Sorry Shrek, better luck next time. Maybe someone will come to your rescue someday. Dreamworks kiiled Shrek!!!

    Subject matter

    The subject matter was a bit too mature for a "G" rating. Kids responded to the end of the movie better than the first half.

    Funny and Entertaining!

    I took my son when he was only 14 mths for the first time to the theatre to watch this movie. I didn't think he would actually sit through it, but I was mistaken, he was sitting there on my lap eating popcorn, a hot dog, and sipping on his drink watching the movie. Every time a funny part came on he would point to the screen and laugh or squeal, it was hilarious!!! At the end he clapped and wanted to watch it again.

    I think it's been done

    Despite the success of this movie when it was at the box office I think the best way to describe this 3rd installment of Shrek is to say that it's reached the end (despite the 4th Shrek already being developed.) To me, the first was funny and the second was even funnier, but the 3rd just couldn't get the same laughs. They still had some clever scenes to entice both childrens and adults while ensuring the adult humor would pass over the head of a child but it just wasn't quite enough. It's a worthwhile rental for the animation alone but don't settle into it expecting anything different from the first two.
