Amazon.co.uk Review

It's not easy being an ogre, but Shrek finds it doubly difficult for an ogre like himself to fill in for a king when his father-in-law King Harold of Far, Far Away falls ill in this third Shrek movie. Shrek's attempts to fulfill his kingly duties play like a blooper reel, with boat christenings and knighting ceremonies gone terribly wrong, and to say that Shrek (Mike Myers) is insecure about his new role is a gross understatement. When King Harold (John Cleese) passes away, Shrek sets out with Donkey (Eddie Murphy) and Puss-in-Boots (Antonio Banderas) to find Arthur (Justin Timberlake), the only heir in line for the throne besides himself. Just as Shrek sets sail to find Artie (as Arthur is more commonly known), Fiona (Cameron Diaz) shocks Shrek with the news that she's pregnant. Soon after, Prince Charming (Rupert Everett) sends Captain Hook (Ian McShane) in pursuit of Shrek and imprisons Fiona and her fellow Princesses as part of his plan to install himself as King of Far, Far Away. Shrek finds an awkward Artie jousting with his high school classmate Lancelot (John Krasinski) and, while Artie is certainly no picture of kingliness, Shrek is determined to drag him back to Far, Far Away to assume the throne. Mishaps and comedy abound, including a spell gone wrong that locks Donkey and Puss-in-Boots inside one another's bodies. While Fiona and the other Princesses prove they're anything but helpless women, Artie and Shrek battle their own fears of inadequacy in a struggle to discover their own self-worth. In the end, Shrek, Artie, and Fiona each learn a lot about their individual strengths and what truly makes each of them happy. Of course, it's the pervasive humour and wit that make Shrek 3 so side-splittingly appealing. --Tami Horiuchi

Synopsis

In the third installment of the wildly popular SHREK series of computer-animated movies, everyone's favorite hygienically challenged green ogre (voiced by Mike Myers) faces both parental and royal responsibility when his wife, Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz), finds out that she is pregnant and that her father, King Harold (John Cleese), is on his death bed. The shock of these revelations leads Shrek on a journey with his loyal companions Donkey (Eddie Murphy) and Puss in Boots (Antonio Banderas) to seek out another heir to the throne--an awkward young boy named Artie Pendragon (Justin Timberlake). Waiting in the wings is the scheming Prince Charming (Rupert Everett), who sees the perfect opportunity to make his own bid for power and rallies a villainous crew to attack the castle. Taking over the reins from director Andrew Adamson, Raman Hui and Chris Miller fill the land of Far, Far Away with even more fairy-tale characters in SHREK THE THIRD. Although this takes away from Shrek's own screen time, it introduces the highly amusing Princess Squad--which includes Snow White (Amy Poehler) and Cinderella (Amy Sedaris)--and the bullying Lancelot (John Krasinski), among others. And, as always, this SHREK outing features many pop-culture references, even managing to nod to two horror films (THE EXORCIST and ROSEMARY’S BABY) in a single shot. The movie also allows for more hilarious interplay between Donkey and Puss in Boots, resulting in a comedic adventure tale that, while over-populated, is still undeniably entertaining.

1.0 out of 5 stars what a load of rubbish, 8 Dec 2007
By Jeager (Northants) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Shrek The Third (Shrek 3) [DVD] (DVD)
I loved the 1st film, enjoyed the 2nd and really hated the 3rd. Arthur was annoying (don't get me started on Merlin) and the plot was so lame it should be shot. They should have stayed with 2 films instead of trying to milk every last penny they could.

1.0 out of 5 stars No more, please!, 17 Nov 2007
This review is from: Shrek The Third (Shrek 3) [DVD] (DVD)
The first Shrek film was very good, the second was a little disappointing but still entertaining, this however was quite simply disastrous. Ok, maybe that's a little harsh, there were some moments that I found mildly amusing.

However the problem with this film is that the premise is getting a little old now. After viewing the trailers I presumed that this film was going to have lots of little shreks running around, a story point I was not wholely struck on - but there were no baby Shreks except in a bizarre dream sequence. Moreover the character of Arthur annoyed me and the plot involving Donkey and Puss in Boots felt contrived and merely a way of getting the two of them into a film where the story had no call for them - that's not to say I wanted them left out, far from it but a better sub-plot would have been much more welcome.

On the plus side the voice casting was once again excellent and the animation was well executed but that alone won't sustain repeated viewings. I only hope they do not make a fourth installment and this disaster is the last in what could have been a really great sequence of films.

2.0 out of 5 stars What, what, what, what the hell went wrong?, 12 Sep 2007
This review is from: Shrek The Third (Shrek 3) [DVD] (DVD)
The first shrek is a classic, the second was an excellent sequel if suffering from being a sequel. This one was completely wasted, the gags fail, either because they are bad gags to start with or poor line delivery and direction. The whole thing is a poor cash in on two good movies. I really wanted to like this. shame.
