Shrek the Third (Shrek 3)

Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz, Antonio Banderas, Justin Timberlake

When Shrek married Fiona, the last thing he had in mind was becoming the next King. But when Shrek's father-in-law, King Harold, suddenly croaks, that is exactly what he faces. Unless Shrek (with the ...( read more  read more... )help of his trusted companions Donkey and Puss In Boots) can find a suitable King for Far Far Away, the ogre could be stuck with the job.

    This one doesn't build on the characters and laughs of the first two. Timberlake as a teen King Arthur and Idle as Merlin are a big let down! Well the actors do an ok job. It is more the characters, especially Merlin, who are sadly underdeveloped.

    REVIEW

    "Shrek" was a delightful film, featuring a fresh animation style and a lovable ogre. Unfortunately it made a lot of money; hence, the inevitable sequels. This one is less than inspired, with a tired script that seems to run out of ideas. The comedy is stale, with only a few chuckles here and there. The funniest bit is the frog king, whose death scene drags on forever. The all-star cast of voices is nice but cartoons are only as good as the story. There are too many characters crammed into a flimsy plot. As a result, it feels episodic and underwhelming. The worst part is knowing that Shrek IV is on the horizon.

    Watching 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)e swinging doors in the back corner of Family Video. This franchise is going to Hell.

    From 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.

    Setelah lama gue nugguin pemutaran Shrek 3 di bioskop Indonesia, akhirnya nongol juga film ini di jadwal midnight 21 deket rumah gue.

    Walaupun gak semengharukan Shrek 2, film ini masih layak ditonton. Permasalahan yang dihadapi Shrek di sini adalah kewajibannya sebagai pewaris t...( read more)ahta berikutnya dan kekhawatirannya untuk mempunyai anak.

    Waktu ayah Fiona, Raja yang dikutuk jadi kodok sakit keras. Maka Shrek sudah harus menggantikan posisinya sementara. Namun Shrek merasa kewajiban itu cukup berat baginya. Untungnya sebelum sang Raja menghembuskan nafas terakhir, beliau sempat memberitahukan bahwa, ada calon pewaris tahta yang lain yaitu Arthur.

    Untuk menghindari kewajibannya memimpin kewajiban maka Shrek melakukan petualangan mencari pewaris tahta kerajaan yang lain tersebut. Ternyata Arthur yang biasa dipanggil Arthur adalah seorang pecundang besar.

    Artie, yang masih usia remaja masih sekolah tingkat SMU. Dia tidak hanya menjadi sasaran bulan-bulanan anak yang populer di sekolah, tapi bahkan kumpulan anak-anak yang biasa dianggap nerd pun menjadikan dia bulan-bulanan.

    Di sisi lain, kondisi kerajaan ketika ditinggalkan oleh Shrek cukup parah. Prince Charming melakukan serangan yang didukung oleh tokoh-tokoh jahat dalam dongeng ketika Fiona sedang mengadakan acara baby shower yang dihadiri oleh Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty dan Rapunzel.

    Pesan nilai yang gue suka dalam film ini adalah bahwa sebagai perempuan, janganlah hanya berpangku tangan menunggu untuk diselamatkan oleh seorang pangeran. Tapi untuk mencapai tujuan, perempuan juga harus ikut berjuang bersama-sama untuk mencapai yang terbaik.

    Hal ini Fiona ajarkan pada teman-temannya yang memang dalam dongen-dongeng klasik bersikap pasif hingga pangeran menyelamatkan.

    Sleeping Beauty tetap tidur sampai pangeran menciumnya, Cinderella yang menunggu pangeran memilihnya menjadi permaisuri, Snow White yang mati suri keracunan apel, dan Rapunzel yang terperangkap dalam menara tinggi.
