No Coherent Plot

Rating: 3/10 (14 January 2011)

This film lacks a major plot outline. The Shrek franchise is known for making brilliant comedy films, but this one lacked sparkle and magic and originality. The plot focused too much on the first film, and didn't focus enough making an original plot with comedy. It was a bore to watch and genuinely shouldn't be allowed to go ahead with a 5th.
The film seems to focus on using the script and storyline of the first film and rewriting it slightly. It was a short, boring, badly acted, badly written and badly everything film. The only thing giving it a little magic was the experience of the people making it, as this was the 4th one.
To improve- this film should focus on getting back to its roots and working out how to reconnect with the audience
I am afraid, as a Shrek fan, I reluctantly give this a 3.
