Easy to watch, even easier to forget...

To be honest, I never enjoyed the Shrek movies too much :all this efforts to subverts the Dysney's fairy tales codes seem a little hypocritical when you consider the endings and moral messages of the movies. They are in the end the exact childly and stupid ones than in an average recent Disney movie (ie : accept yourself as you are and you'll find love, the most important thing of all, and happiness...). And if one or two jokes were indeed funny, most of them are only parodies of other movies, put in another context. There's nothing new or original in that since ... hum, let's say the ZAZ movies ! But when it comes to the third movie, nothing of that doesn't really matters anymore, for everything in the movie (therefor everything that bothered me in the other ones) has already been told before and you just watch an unsurprising routine serial movie, easy to watch for you know it's universe and narrative codes quite well now. There's nothing new, but it's quite nice to meet all the characters again, with the feeling that my old arguments with them weren't so important after all.
