An improvement over "Shrek the Third".

Rating: 8/10 (22 July 2010)

Shrek (Voiced by Mike Myers) is suffering an mid-life crisis. He hasn't happy with his life, especially having his soul-mate Princess Fiona (Voiced by Cameron Diaz) and his three children. Shrek misses the old days, when everyone was afraid of him. Rumpelstiltskin (Voiced by Walt Hohrn) gives him an chance to re-live his old life for an day by singing an contract. At first, Shrek is happy until he discovers that his best friend Donkey (Voiced by Eddie Murphy) doesn't remember him and Shrek isn't married. He finds himself in an alternative universe. Now Shrek has to find Princess Fiona to convinced her, they had an life together once. But Rumpelstiltskin has other plans for Shrek.
Directed by Mike Mitchell (Deuce Bigelow:Male Gigolo, Sky High, Surviving Christmas) made an enjoy fourth "Shrek" film in the series. It is certainly better than "Shrek the Third" and probably even better than "Shrek 2" as well. Voice talents in the movie are terrific, especially new comer Hohrn as Rumpelstiltskin but it is Antonio Banderas as the voice of Puss in Boots steals the show. It is nice to see the new "Shrek" movie in Widescreen format as well. This is also an darker movie than the previous "Shrek" films. Since this is the final chapter, the series certainly ends well. Don't miss it. Digital Widescreen. (****/*****).
