Splendid as usual

Rating: 8/10 (24 July 2010)

This animation movie is not better nor worse than the best ones of its kind. But it's splendid indeed in its 3 D version. The images and visual effects are gorgeous, the puppet characters magnificent in their expressions almost human and Shrek himself maintains vivid the idea that unlike the clichés according to which only beautiful is good, ugly can also be good and even an ogre can be virtuous. The story is worth what it's worth being almost a mere pretext of the image show. In this movie the good Shreck becomes tired of domestic life and does the mistake of asking a mischievous sorcerer to put him back for one day in his past life of typical ogre. He pays a high price for this mistake and endangers his way of living which was happy after all, according to the principle that we only value what we have after losing it. We spend more two hours of very pleasant feelings and sensations watching this movie.
