Review of Puss in Boots (2011) by Kai82 — 22 Nov 2020

I don't know if it is just a bit weaker or a good movie and I had too high expectations. I expected more storywise, humorwise and a better use of the characters. Puss on Boots was a remarkable addition to Shrek 2 and became easily a fan favorite and reoccurring character in further Shrek movies.

So it was just a matter of time before he got a spin off movie. For those who don't have seen the Shrek movies. Puss on boots voiced by Antonio Banderas is a badass adventurer, womanizer (or kittennizer?) and conniving fighter.

He has a heart of gold but also some flaws that can be exploited. In this movie he is on an adventure with an old childhood friend and a new flame. They want to find the magic beans from Jack and the beanstalk to find a huge treasure.

The story is good but nothing special or super original. I missed some of the respectless humor and parody of the Shrek movies. The humor also works most of the time and I should not criticize anything here but like I said I expected more.

The characters are enjoyable and I would have wanted to see more of them. The presentation is excellent as always. They have a superb cast of voice actors with Antonio Banderas, Zach Gailifianakis and Salma Hayek for the main characters.

I will praise their performance. The soundtrack is good. Overall I see that many praised this movie and think that it is good and I had to high expectations. However it was a solid experience and enjoyable.
