Bloated conclusion

Rating: 5/10 (25 January 2020)

Shrek just became a typical franchise that was ballooning with support characters. It ended too late. This wasn't an epic conclusion or a heartfelt storyline like Pixar, it's just an ending of sorts. Shrek and friends just lost their way, this and the previous film lack humour. The first Shrek is incredible at the time of release, but like all films, they need to evolve to stay relevant. This was a large ensemble and it lack ambition. I don't believe they created a mediocre film on purpose, but with it being a concluding chapter, where's the quality storyline? Glad it's over, unlike Ice Age which was steadily degraded from the first sequel.
