Critic Reviews

  • Bob Mondello, NPR.org

    Apart from some modestly amusing princess shtick and a pleasantly slapsticky opening, there's no real reason for anyone over the age of 11 to see this one.

  • David Ansen, Newsweek

    This is a very skillfully made corporate product, but I wonder who, exactly, will be fully satisfied.

  • Derek Adams, Time Out

    A shame it lacks the smart sassiness of its predecessors. Time to call time, we think.

  • David Edelstein, New York Magazine

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

  • Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

    This is the most visually impressive Shrek yet. It's also the least inspired.

    It lacks the magic the two films possessed, period. Shrek the Third, although has it's powerful cast (with new additions) stumbles upon its stalling story and uninspiring tale. 3.5/5

  • Film C


    not as good as the first 2

  • Dead A


    It was okay. A bit gross. Not as funny as the other ones.

  • Alexander D


    What the Shrek has happened with such a funny series!? The first SHREK was an original, imaginative take on almost every fairy tale; SHREK 2 was a great, entertaining sequel, and now, folks, we have SHREK THE THIRD, even though somewhat creatively titled, a terrible, terrible film… More

  • Directors C


    Made to make money off the great Shrek and Shrek 2. Shrek the Third is slapstick drivel that has a ridiculously boring plot.
