May 14, 2009"Who's ready for Thirds?"
When his new father-in-law, King Harold falls ill, Shrek is looked at as the heir to the land of Far, Far Away. Not one to give up his beloved swamp, Shrek recruits his friends Donkey and Puss in Boots to install the rebellious Artie as the new... ...( read more ) -
April 4, 2009Watching this movie, it's almost too hard to believe that it's in the same series as the first two. It's aimed almost entirely at adults and children will watch it only because of what the first two were. At the rate they're going with Shrek, the fifth one will be found behind th... ...( read more )

October 24, 2008From all the criticism received for this sequel, I was expecting a pretty bad film, but in fact I really enjoyed the direction the story went in. Some very funny moments and of course, as always, great animation and characterization, including some new arrivals.

October 10, 2008As I have said before the original Shrek should have been left alone, but it seems as though they have to milk everything now, a Shrek the Third was inevitable. This film to put it lightly was a waste of space. I shouldn't really be too harsh because the second and third only see... ...( read more )

Computer-generated animated movies with wall-to-wall jokes can be excruciating, but these jokes are the funniest money can buy. full review

Green isn't just the color of ogres. It also represents the cold hard cash studio execs can again expect to reap, no matter how often they repeat the same basic joke. full review

Feels sluggish and tired; its relentless, not-so-great gags hit with the soft thud of stone-hard bread crumbs. full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
The world of the fanciful fable looks particularly vibrant this time with its signature blend of realism and fantasy. It is a pleasure to watch these fairy tale folk be themselves -- yet again. full review

Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle
The movie's tidy running time is crammed with so many yuks that I'd have to watch two or three times to catch them all. And I wouldn't mind. full review

A.O. Scott, The New York Times
Shrek the Third seems at once more energetic and more relaxed [than its predecessors], less desperate to prove its cleverness and therefore to some extent smarter.

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
A deflated, weakly plotted effort that only intermittently recaptures the jubilant humor of the earlier films. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
There's no disguising the fact that Shrek the Third has come down with a bad case of sequelitis. You know the symptoms: Lots of razzle-dazzle to distract from the hole at the center of the story. You ... full review

It makes the mistake of thinking slapstick action is funny for its own sake. True, characters zooming and bouncing around are easy to write because no creative invention is required to set them in mot... full review
