Review of Shrek the Third (2007) by Anuj S — 18 Mar 2015
Shrek the Third returns to the Kingdom of Far, Far Away, retains its A-list cast of actors and the characters they play, and attempts to build on the legacy of its predecessors, but the results are decidedly mixed, making for the weakest entry in the Shrek family of films.
That's not to say Shrek the Third is a bad movie; far from it, the movie is a fun little diversion but comes up lacking in the heart and humor of the first films. The Third feels rather forced but not disingenuous; it plays as something more akin to a hastily-assembled sequel rather than a carefully-planned picture like Shrek 2.
The jokes are fewer, the flow a bit slower, and the magic a bit less effective, making for a movie that's watchable but at the same time a little stale and rough around the edges where the script struggles to find meaning beyond the basics of the story.
