This one was definitely better than the . . .

Rating: 6/10 (24 June 2011)

. . . third installment, but "Shrek 2" definitely remains the best of the four. At least, they took their time with "Shrek Forever After" to devise a pleasant twist on the tale of "Rumpelstiltskin" and incorporate that story into Shrek's and Fiona's. They didn't make very good use of Donkey this time around, however, which was unfortunate. Overall, it was good, as compared to the less than satisfying "Shrek 3", which suffered in large part from the creators rushing to capitalize on the masterful "Shrek 2" (which remains the best of the four). At least, the creators were able to end the story with a good one!
