Shrek the Third
3.5/5
When Shrek came out back in 2002, the laughs were continuous and the movie had become the most popular animated movie in years, beating out Toy Story. Then, in 2004 when Shrek 2 came out, everyone figured that the movie would suck and ruin the whole idea of Shrek. Luckily, it didn't. Shrek 2 was actually better than the first and introduced the best character in the world; Puss In Boots! Then when Shrek 3 came out, people believed that it would also be amazing. Wrong. Although Shrek the Third is a great movie, it seriously does not live up to its predecessors. Maybe if you never saw the first 2, you would have been delighted and thought it was amazing. Sure, all Shrek movies are great, but at the same time, there's no point in ruining the series for money. This one doesn't ruin the series, but I'm sure the fourth and fifth they've got planned will surely be enough. Maybe its not a matter of ruining the series; individually the movie is quite good. The ideas are out there but dont go that far.
Highlights
Well; the movie does have very good jokes throughout the first half. In fact there are some that you're laughing out loud. The characters also all stayed true to themselves and the personalities weren't changed.
Lowlights
The movie's second half was quite rushed. Also, the movie wasn't as good as the first two.
Final Review: Shrek 3 is good; but not good enough.
