General Comments
I enjoyed the first two Shrek films very much, especially Shrek 2 which introduced more characters such as Puss in Boots. Shrek the Third was disappointing as I found the story a bit too solemn with less light hearted humour. Fiona's father dies and Shrek leaves to find the next in line to the throne of Far Far Away so that he doesn't have to be King. Prince Charming rounds up all the nursery rhyme nasties and takes the throne whilst Shrek is gone. It has all the fairytale characters such as Rapunzel, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty. Arthur Pendragon (Justin Timberlake) is a bit lame but Merlin is even worse. It seemed like a rehash of the second film with Prince Charming taking over and Shrek having to save the day. There is an upbeat soundtrack which detracts from the film as I found myself listening to that rather than what was going on. My two children came with me to see the film and the younger boy (age 6) really couldn't sit still as he was so bored. The older boy (age 8) enjoyed it more but, compared to The Simpsons Movie which we saw last week, this film really didn't keep them interested.
