Familiar but not refreshing...

Rating: 6/10 (4 June 2010)

What can I really say? It wasn't disappointing as I thought it would be but it was neither good or anything it was just mediocre. Better than the 3rd shrek? Probably or Yes! but still with all the story and characters relationships and all, while we are familiar with Shrek the feeling or the atmosphere that once we all enjoyed disappeared with this fourth and hopefully last movie. It should just rest as it is and should be remembered for it's first 2 parts.
We strangely don't feel any emotion towards shrek in this movie besides the fact that we already know this character and we like him for the smile he gave us with his first two parts but now it's just dull and at times it got me bored. As for the script I might admit that it has it's flaws and the dialogue seems old and not something refreshing in many times.
The funny moments were not that many in this one, and most of the jokes like I said felt old. It's a near perfect ending though for Shrek and would have been far more better if this was the 3rd movie instead of that failure. The soundtrack itself didn't raised the bar of the movie as well since it was not something that you would normally enjoy unless you're watching a mediocre movie and with all these I'm convinced this might be a good shrek movie but overall is just mediocre though it's well executed.
So... watch it once if you're a Shrek fan, if not? ... don't bother because you won't lose anything... It's sad actually but the interest in Shrek actually died I think long before this movie considering even the box-office at the moment which is disappointing... By the way, forgot about the 3d experience; it was fine overall but nothing compared to Alice in Wonderland.
