Critics Consensus

While not without its moments, Shrek Forever After too often feels like a rote rehashing of the franchise's earlier entries.

[Shrek Forever After] is a satisfactory way to end the series.

The rot set in with the third film, I think, and now, with the fourth, it's decomposed and gone to that black sludge you get at the bottom of the bin.

The movie is a family drama about the family drama, so on every available level it works a treat.

A hazy melancholy result for adults and excessive abstraction for children. [Full review in Spanish]

This is actually an excellent movie. I think that it suffers from having come out after two really poor sequels, Shrek 2 and Shrek 3. But it recaptures the wit and invention of the first in the series, and similarly offers a heartfelt fable, very much in the tradition of It’s a Wonderful Life. In another context, that would make it derivative, but in this case, it’s all tongue in cheek, and gracefully lands its comic and emotional punches. Highly recommended.

Ah ok, but I wonder how all these ogres happened to exist since at the end they were present in the original dimension. If they are now making a fifth movie I wish it would focus on knowing something more about Shrek's past, childhood, how did he end up living alone in some desolated swamp

This is a very heartfelt and entertaining movie. It’s a different tone than the first two, but I think if the third one hadn’t been so bad that this one would have been recognized for the great movie it actually is

This is one of this series where a movie is made with pure heart and like years later it gets ruined.
