Wow this one sucked, total money machine stuff, Please no 4!! 
2008-08-12
Wow I was surprised at how fast this series went down hill, clearly they should have ended it at 3 because most franchises just go WAY down hill after that and this one looks to do the same if they do come out with the money grab #4. The story is so uninspiring and weak I had a hard time even watching the whole movie, the cliche busting jokes and the overall creativity of the series are just not there anymore or just not that funny. I mean come on just end it with a bang, not this wimper leading to another ogre swamp of a fourth. Shrek is only for 14 and below screamers now, unfortunately it'll still make money from kids keeping the drivel like #3 alive.
I always have such a hard time with these movies and their populist feel good family loving slant being "acted" by people who are just the opposite making millions for 45 minutes of work and are not that good at it. Time to dump this franchise and see Ratatouille or Wall-E or Dark Knight or any other of the way too many films coming out. Glad this was just a Netflix movie so there was almost no cost to see it.
The worst Dreamworks animated movie 2008-08-04
Dreamworks is not a company known by its great plots in 3D animation, but this time they forgot something that Pixar has as the first important thing in a movie: a great plot.
The story is unsustainable, the main character becomes lost in his own characteristics, the situations has no justification and becomes a bunch of scenes without continuity and nonsense.
The princess are capable to destroy stone walls with his head, but are not capable to defeat the castle guards (just as an example).
Avoid purchasing this movie in any format available, this not worth the money you can spend on it, is not good even for rent. Only watch it if someone lend it to you and also you want to throw away your precious time.
Great

On time delivery with the lowest price for a brand new DVD and on top of that I got a limited edition gift package which I didn't even expected - that was very nice and made me very happy!
waste of money and time 2008-07-09
They should have never made this one. What were they thinking except to make more money on the reputation of the previous 2. It is dull, badly written and boring. Without some of the cleverness of the original and interesting plot of both 1 and 2. The animation is, of course, wonderful. I hope when they get around to the one staring Puss they will improve.
The great Shrek empire 
2008-06-23
I am not a kid but I loved this movie. Truely I loved them all. Who is more sensible than Shrek? Who is sexier than Fiona? Who is more hard headed than her mom? There are so many subtle themes running through the movies. My fav charactor is Gingy. Always watch the credits, some funny stuff there.
If you can't get enough of Shrek...., Rent (don't buy) this DVD

Right up There With Shrek 1 2008-06-19
I loved this movie, and think it's right up there in poignancy and humor with the first film in the trilogy. It was funny as all get-out, had great heart, and although the super animation changed the character's features a bit and the plentiful Special Features were a bit weird, I LOVED this DVD. I'm not a big fan of JT, but I think he did all right in this, and I -adored- the princesses and their roles in this film. ^_^ The goofs, baby advice and yearbook features were the most fun for me, (again though, I thought the yearbook thing was a bit of a stretch since we didn't really explore the school characters -that- much), and I'm so glad to see they've kept up not only the wit, humor and charm of the first movie, but that they've retained its heart as well. ..After all, without both aspects, it just wouldn't be Shrek. ;)
Cheerful Kudos!

This is a fantastic addition to the Shrek series. I hope there is more! Shrek is loved by all children with adult innuendo's tied in. This movie will make you laugh out loud!

a good film--but not great and not as good as the first two were (three and one half stars) 2008-06-15
Shrek The Third is a good movie with incredible animation. I marvel at that animation! However, the plot is just average and it didn't really hold my attention the way I hoped it would. I think after this Dreamworks needs to move on to new develop new characters in new films; but only time will tell if Dreamworks wants to milk this theme yet again. The voiceovers are very well done and the DVD has a plethora of extras.
When the action begins, Shrek (Mike Myers) and his wife Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz) are filling in for the ailing King Harold (John Cleese). Unfortunately, King Harold passes away and, with his dying wish, names Shrek as the rightful heir to the throne. This doesn't sit too well with Shrek who has been suffering from public relations embarrassment to public relations embarrassment as he launches ships with such strength that the ship blows a hole and sinks--and more. King Harold says, just before he dies, that the only other heir to the throne would be a young man at school named Arthur (Justin Timberlake). Immediately after the funeral for King Harold, Shrek, Donkey (Eddie Murphy) and Puss-in-boots (Antonio Banderas) set sail to find Arthur at school. Things go downhill even more when Artie (as Arthur is called) is ambivalent at best to become a king; and it's up to Shrek and his buddies to convince Arthur to become king.
Of course, things back in Far, Far Away Land aren't much better. Prince Charming (Rupert Everett) and his cronies take over the kingdom and imprison Fiona and her friends including Fiona's mother. Things look pretty bleak.
Of course, the plot can go anywhere from here. (Yes, I know, you've read the spoilers by now but I won't give them away anyway.) Will Fiona and the other women be able to break free and fight the evil Prince Charming? How does Shrek react when he finds out he's becoming a father? What happens to Puss-in-boots and Donkey when an old wizard accidentally casts a spell on them so that they are trapped in each other's bodies? Watch the movie and find out!
The DVD extras are very extensive. The commentary is great; and I like the bonus feature that includes a man going through a storyboard of a deleted scene at the school where Arthur is standing on line to get his lunch. There are funny "suggestions" from Donkey, Shrek and other characters as to how to deal with the problems of parenthood; and there are web links as well.
Overall, this is a good effort and a movie to watch when a better one is unavailable. However, Shrek fans will love this movie. This is best suited for families with kids that are at least 8 or 9 years old because of some crude humor that you wouldn't want younger kids to experience.
Entertaining, but nothing new 2008-06-11
This film was entertaining, but didn't cover any new ground. It was nice to see the familiar characters up to their usual antics, but the story was a bit thin and was probably the reason the movie was so short.
It's really a cable movie that's good for a few laughs.
