Summary: Relatively pathetic
Comment: Well, one star might be harsh, but I feel it's appropriate given the comparison to its 2 predecessors. Both Shrek and Shrek 2 were outstanding movies, and I had similar expectations for this one. But wow, what a dropoff. It felt like someone kidnapped the original writers and brought in some bad amateurs. This movie is a cheap ripoff of the first 2, with rehashed jokes and gags and a pathetically weak story. My kids didn't think it was so bad, but I felt taken advantage of when it was over. Not worth buying and not worth renting, either.

Summary: The spark is gone
Comment: I loved the first two films. I was hoping this would be great as well.
And it tries, it really did try. To its credit, there were several very clever scenes. The typical Snow White's gift with animals takes an awesome turn, and I can guarantee that you will never laugh harder at a death scene than the one of this movie. The animation? Top-notch.
I just guess effort doesn't always beat out sheer inspiration. A film with a few moments does not win against a good, simple movie.
The desire to produce a film merely ended up as a plot device to get Shrek and Fiona back to their beloved swamp. A long, boring plot device. With the passing of King Harold, Shrek and Fiona are heirs to the throne of Far, Far Away. Unfortunately, that does not interest them, so Shrek goes on a journey to bring back the next guy, a young Arthur "Artie" Pendragon. Heck, why not? Everyone loves a good Camelot infusion, and Artie is as flawed and as likable as you could want. Unfortunately, he is only one character in a cheesy madhouse of minor characters and cameos. In the effort to get everyone their screen time, that whole plot gets lost in the background.
Which normally wouldn't be a problem. After all, the original movie did not have the most complex of plots. What it had was a few incredible characters. The second movie added a few more, but still kept it delightfully manageable. This time, it seemed that the powers that be assumed we already knew everything about Shrek, Donkey, Puss, and the rest of the bunch that we really didn't need to see them. Hey, let's bring in one more characters for the audience, but refuse to give them time to get to know them! Poor, pathetic lack of character development.
So back to the plot. The few times that came around, it was pretty much a tacky, forced attempt to create some pseudo father/son relationship between Shrek and Artie. Good intentions, but no cigar. Maybe if we had more time... But we don't, so let's just wrap it up with a few corny lines about understanding and rising to the occasion. Yeah, we got that the first time around, and without any of the verbal commentary.
On top of that, this film misses that inexplicable spark of the first two installments. I'm sorry, but I just didn't feel it. Just as a lukewarm attempt of continuing the series and aiming at a five-year old audience.
Sorry. Not my favorite of the series by any means, leaving me to wonder how a sequel to films of such genius as "Shrek" and "Shrek 2" could make something so average?

Summary: Wow this one sucked, total money machine stuff, Please no 4!!
Comment: 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.

Summary: The worst Dreamworks animated movie
Comment: 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.

Summary: Great
Comment: 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!
