Shrek the Third

Pros: Returning characters
Cons: Not as funny as other movies. Some things could be upsetting to children.

In 2001, S hrek was released and ended up becoming a very successful animated movie. It was no surprise when the sequel, S hrek 2 was released in 2004. That movie was also very ...

Pros: original cast returns, a few funny moments
Cons: in the end it was dull, unoriginal, re-hashed jokes from prior films, not very good

It's time to put a fork in this franchise, because it is basically done. The originality of the original film was already starting to wain when it came to the sequel, but now with Shrek The Third the story has lost that feeling of overall ...

Pros: Funny with more kid friendly humor
Cons: Not quite as funny as the first two; potentially the death scene

So, the second of the three May trilogy movies opened this weekend. Shrek the Third is looking to capture the family audience that made the first two computer animated movies such big hits. While it has lots of humor and a great new story, it's just a ...

Pros: Animation just keeps getting better and better
Cons: Shrek 3 has forgotten what made it truly funny. Now it's merely O.K.

On the days when I work downtown I’m out of the house for a pretty good chunk of time. I leave my home at 7 a.m. and if I’m lucky I get back at 7 p.m. Thankfully, my work allows me to do two days a week here at the house. Still, I begrudge ...

Pros: Eric Idle, the Queen as prison-break-out-er, Donkey and Puss swapping bodies
Cons: Weak story, few laughs, unimpressive music, boring culminatory confrontation

Preface (containing spoilers on the first two movies in the series): This is the third film in the series. In Shrek, we met Shrek, an ogre, who wants his swamp back, and who must rescue Princess Fiona, locked in a tower and guarded by a ...

Pros: Of interest to movie and animation students studying bad sequels
Cons: Everything that was good about Shrek 1 and 2 is gone

This review is for Shrek the Third. It is interesting to note that Epinions has it listed twice. Just search for "Shrek the third" under "All products", you will come up with two listings, one with 37 reviews and one with 7. One listing is for movies in ...

Pros: cute, kid-friendly
Cons: just doesn't have the pizzazz that made Shrek so popular in the first place

You know it happens every time…you watch a movie, you love it, then you just can’t resist the first several sequels that come out. It seems like anymore - be it from a flooded market where so many works just get buried as soon as they come out or from ...

Pros: I enjoyed it far better than I did the second installment...
Cons: Geared towards the kiddies more so than the original, which was clearly for teens/adults.

Whether it be Spiderman 3, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, or the third installment in the animated series about the swamp’s most lovable ogre, one thing is very clear, Hollywood is still under the impression that quantity equals ...

Pros: Great line readings
Cons: Not ALWAYS funny

The last thing Shrek (Mike Myers) wanted to do was be the king of Far Far Away Land. However, when Fiona's (Cameron Diaz) dad, and current ruler, King Harold (John Cleese), retires, he has no choice but to fill in. However, he has another option: recruit ...

Pros: Far more satisfying than Shrek 2
Cons: The movie's first half-hour wallows in subplots and domestic bliss

Shrek the Third fits about midway between the previous two entries -- not as original and endearing as the 2001 original, but miles ahead of the lackadaisical Shrek 2. For a "three-quel" movie, that might be about the best you can ask for. ...

Pros: Reference-quality digital video; good follow-up; robust extra features. A must-have!
Cons: Shrek could've made better choices.

Shrek and Fiona, along with the rest of the crew, are back in the third installment of the Shrek series, in HD-DVD format here, with a healthy serving of high-definition (including web-enabled) extras, as well as the usual DVD goodies. The picture is ...

Pros: Superb animation, characters remain lovable, and some good chuckles
Cons: Artie! And the series is beginnig to exude that not-so-fresh aroma.

Even though Shrek - Sir Shrek, that is - and Princess Fiona have become a fixture at the royal court of the kingdom of Far Far Away, it doesn't mean that our ogrish hero has to like it. With Fiona's father having been transformed into a frog (see SHREK ...

Pros: Great graphics, same all star cast we all know and love, Great music, solid plotline
Cons: More childish, Lacks adult humour, Nothing new, not pushing any technological boundaries, franchise going stale.

I went on opening weekend to see Shrek the third. While I did enjoy the movie, I must tell you, this is a different kind of Shrek than the first 2 films. The first Shrek in particular was full of sexual innuendos and adult jokes. Shrek the third by ...

Pros: Music, storyline
Cons: Did not see one.

I went to see Shrek the Third the weekend it opened with my fifteen year old daughter, but also plan on buying the DVD, so I am submitting this for a DVD review. We have seen the first two movies on DVD. It's a good thing I did not read the critics ...

Pros: Great family entertainment.
Cons: Didn't get to see enough of Shrek's babies.

I was a little skeptical when I had heard that they were making another Shrek movie. I did like the first one, the second one was not too bad, but what can they do for the third? My two and a half year old daughter is in love with Shrek, so ...
