Spoiler: Shrek's not in this one

Rating: Null/10 (2 November 2011)

Puss In Boots follows the origin story of, well, Puss In Boots (voiced by Antonio Banderas) and how he became who he was in the Shrek films. I've always liked Puss In Boots as a character and was really exciting to have fun with this film. That being said, this film is like mediocre Chinese food...it's just alright when you're experiencing it but after an hour, you'll feel as if you experienced nothing. This film feels like a lot of movies I've seen this year where one scene is set up just to provide balance to another scene. Also, the whole relationship between Puss and Humpty Dumpty is simultaneously confusing and stupid. I may be sounding cynical here, but the film does have a very funny moments and even a touching moment, but it's just not worth paying ticket prices for. Speaking of which, I saw this film as an Imax 3D experience, and the film is mostly dialogue, so the Imax didn't work, but the 3D was some of the better 3D I've seen in a while. Although I tend to write as long a review as possible, I really have nothing to say about this film except the film's best for a night when you want to distract your kids or you don't mind watching a very mediocre film to please yourself or your kids.
