Shrek the Third has the curse of the third in a bankable series. It is too often sappy, tiresome, and overblown. A franchise such as Shrek, with all the money it has accumulated, should be able to buy a little freshness and originality. But instead
Feb 2, 2009
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.

Top CriticThe best thing Shrek the Third has going for it is its look, which is stunning.
Sep 20, 2008
Though the devious wit of the original remains, it is obscured by too many classic-rock interludes (courtesy of Led Zeppelin, Heart and Paul McCartney) and nudging pop-culture references that seem by now just part of the formula.
Apr 10, 2008
This is a very skillfully made corporate product, but I wonder who, exactly, will be fully satisfied.
Apr 7, 2008
Top CriticThe problem with this film is that after a quick, fun beginning they repeat a similar journey from the first film. Except this time, Shrek and Artie argue instead of Shrek and Fiona.
Mar 3, 2008
Your kids may enjoy it, but you would do better to wait for the video.
Feb 1, 2008
Feels refreshed and might be -- especially for relieved parents -- the most entertaining film of the franchise.
Jan 2, 2008
While there are times of moderate amusement, Shrek the Third offers few surprises. It seems as though perhaps the creators have found their stride and are calling it in more than going out on a limb.

Princess power saves the day for ogre and pals.

Oct 14, 2007
Shrek the Third, which vigilantly flirts with the grey matter between child's play and adult humor, creates curious questions for children while bringing back beloved characters for another joyride in Far Far Away.
Sep 21, 2007
It's far too open in its desires (MAKING MONEY) to be hate-worthy.
Sep 14, 2007
Any film with the wherewithal to cast Ian McShane as Captain Hook has more going for it than flatulence.
