'My angry wig'...........

Rating: 5/10 (16 July 2010)

Shrek is back and this time he's three dimensional, just another gimmick to get the crowds in to a film that may not do well due to other competition.
Shrek is living the perfect life, he has Fiona, family and his friends, but soon becomes aware that life has become very repetitive and boring. After an argument, he meets with Rumpelstiltskin and makes a deal so he can be an ogre for a day.
Unbeknown to him, the day from his past that he wanted to lose, was the day he was born, so he has no family, no friends and no wife.
He has until the end of the day, to snatch a kiss from his true love, but Fiona is different now and it will take a lot for him to convince her....
During the first ten minutes, we see Shrek become increasingly aware of how boring his life has become, he looks bored, and one can only assume that Myers had the same look on his face whilst doing the voice over.
Even though this film is purely about Shreks quest to get back everything, he seems to be playing second fiddle again to other characters, and it gets apparent when it becomes boring whenever Shrek is Alone on screen without a sidekick (which is a scary notion when you become of the titular character).
The story just makes Shrek seem selfish and ignorant, and there were times in the movie when i hoped he would fail his mission.
Rumpelstiltskin is very annoying too, he looks and acts like a reject from the X factor who thinks he could win.
on the plus side, Donkey and Puss-in-boots are fantastic and provide the few laughs the film has too offer.
It's a shame that this supposedly final film is just as bad as the third entry.
And the final love in during the credits showing parts from the last three movies is stolen from Lethal weapon 4.
I bet Mel would be straight on the phone to complain.
