Movie Info
When King Harold suddenly croaks, Shrek (Mike Myers) learns he will have to rule the land of Far, Far Away, unless he can find a suitable heir to the throne. The most-promising candidate is Princess Fiona's (Cameron Diaz) cousin Artie (Justin Timberlake), a teenage slacker in a medieval high-school. Shrek and his trusted companions, Donkey (Eddie Murphy) and Puss in Boots (Antonio Banderas), set out to bring Artie back but find their mission is a bigger challenge than they expected.

While it may be harmless overall, Shrek The Third lacks the charm, cleverness and the biting of satire of the previous films and feel stale. There is a stunning lack of care put into the film, despite the strong visuals.

Gee, we all thought it would've stopped at Shrek 2, but we're all wrong.

Merlin was the best addition to this movie. The story was a little boring at times. Kid's are sure to enjoy it though, fun for the whole family.

Appallingly bad, Shrek the Third is a trite and cliched mess that wrecks the series. Rather than delivering its usual witty satire, the story plays out like a cheesy sitcom; with Shrek fretting about his ability to be a father while he tries to find a new heir to assume the throne of Far, Far Away so that he can avoid the responsibility. The characters too have fallen into stereotypes and no longer have any charm to them; except for Donkey and Puss In Boots, who continue to be a fun comedy duo. And the animation is especially lackluster, easily the worst of all the films, looking especially clay-like with ridged movement. Poorly made and unoriginal, Shrek the Third is a truly disappointing sequel to a once great series.
