Pros: Excellent kid and family flick.
Cons: Some themes might be a bit heavy for the little ones.

Shrek the Third (2007) is yet another animated installment based upon William Steig's 1990 fairy tale. Much like the previous sequels a lot has remained the same except this time directors Chris Miller and Raman Hui (co-director) take the helm ...

Pros: The acting and animation are still fine
Cons: Story is stale and sometimes senseless

Film sequels often find themselves in the unenviable position of building on the original movie. The third installment can prove to be more difficult to follow. Such is the case with the Shrek series. Even in the first installment of the series ...

Pros: Great script, voice acting and beautiful animation
Cons: None

I'll never forget waiting in the hall before my stepdaughter and I saw the first "Shrek". We had tickets for the last show and really had no idea of what to expect. As people walked by us, their reaction was unanimous. Whether it was a family with ...

Pros: Some funny scenes
Cons: Many scenes felt rehashed.

I can honestly say that Mike Meyers Shrek is my favorite ogre. I laughed out loud at the first two, and thought Dreamworks Studios jabs at Disney and classic fairy tales was sharp, pointed and very funny. Alas like Jurassic Park and Terminator, the Third ...

Pros: Some cool effects, nice soundtrack choices
Cons: Oversized cast take up too much screen time

The movies this summer are really sucking, especially all the big budget sequels. I thought Spider-Man 3 was awful, and now I wasn’t too impressed with Shrek the Third. Both movies have stellar special effects, but the story isn’t very good ...

Pros: same old characters we've come to love
Cons: pretty boring overall

I've been looking forward to May as the month of the blockbusters, and a couple weeks ago my movie watching got off to a good start with Spider-Man 3. Though I read some pretty scathing reviews, I thought the film was phenomenal and looked ...

Pros: Some very funny jokes, the film looks nicer than the first two.
Cons: Silly plot, ho hum jokes.

I purposefully didn’t read any reviews prior to going into my showing of Shrek the Third this evening. After loving the first film and enjoying the second one even more, I hoped the third edition of the Shrek story would be even as close to ...

Pros: A fun movie even if it doesn't compare to earlier films in the series.
Cons: A bit stale and shallow.

Today the family and I ventured once again into the realm of Far Far Away to watch the latest installment of the Shrek Saga, Shrek the Third. I loved the first two movies. In Shrek we had the major theme that love and beauty comes in many forms. In ...

Pros: Worth a few laughs here and there.
Cons: Completely forgettable. By the end of the movie I had forgotten the beginning.

The Shrek series is dead. Shrek the Third is to Shrek 2, in terms of quality, as Shrek 2 is to the original Shrek. There is simply no comparing the movies - it's alarming. Shrek was a masterpiece; Shrek ...

Pros: A funny line or three.
Cons: Essentially manufactured crap.

The summer of 2007 has been supersaturated with SFX-extravaganzas and tenuous "comedies;" Shrek the Third is no exception. For an animated picture that took over three years to make, the whole piece seems rather rushed; let's get to the plot ...

Pros: some funny moments
Cons: Lame villians and to many charecters.

I went and I saw Shrek the third earlier this evening and well I wasn’t exactly disappointed but I didn’t leave the theater has excited has I was in the first two. It lacked the attitude of the first and the humor of the 2nd (can’t beat the ...

Pros: Great movie
Cons: None

We went to see Shrek the Third not too long ago. My daughter is 4 and adores Shrek and Fiona. She has seen the first two movie and just had to see the third one. I was also ready to see it. I liked the first two movies myself. It is kind of hard not to ...

Pros: All Star Cast
Few good laughs
Cons: More of the same

The all star cast returns for a third installment of the Shrek series. The story is different, yet has a redundant feel to the first two. It starts out with Shrek (Mike Myers) learning that he's the future king of Far Far Away. The problem is that he ...

Pros: Murphy and Banderas.
Cons: To few laughs, nothing new to offer.

When last we saw the Ogre Shrek, (Mike Meyers), he and his wife Fiona (Cameron Diaz), they were happily celebrating their love and triumph over the dastardly Prince Charmings (Rupert Everett), latest attempt to rule the magical kingdom of Far, Far Away. ...

Pros: Same lovable cast, great new additional voices, Great one liners,
Cons: Plot not played out well, too much star power, ending seemed mashed together

Having enjoyed the first two Shrek movies, I was looking forward to seeing Shrek the Third. The previous two Shrek movies had something for both the younger set, as well as the adults. With the addition of voices from Eric Idle and Justin Timberlake, I ...
