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.

  • 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.

  • David Denby, New Yorker

    The plot material isn't as strong as in the first two movies -- if anything, it feels a bit desperate -- but the anti-Disney joke blunderbuss remains in good working order.

    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

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

  • Brad W


    Dumb and a shame to the Shrek series. Two funny parts, and then it is all just cliche and boring and a horrible addition to the Shrek movies. Story sucked and wasnt worth my time. I really hated this in a way, they took it a big notch down.
