6.7

Rating: 6/10 (2 August 2009)

Shrek the Third fits into the category of The Curse of the trilogy. The third film is the weakest in the trilogy. It looses the humor and some of the fun. Mike Myers returns as Shrek, the big green ogre. This time, when King Harold(John Cleese)dies, he asks Shrek to become king. Shrek doesn't want to, so he goes looking for the next heir, Arthur(Justin Timberlake). Arthur is an annoying dweeb. Shrek, Donkey(Eddie Murphey in one of his best roles)and Puss in Boots(Antonio Banderas)go off looking for Arthur. Meanwhile, Shrek's pregnant wife Fiona(Cameron Diaz) and her friends have to escape from Prince Charming(Rupert Everett). Shrek took care of his mother in the last film. So this time it's personal.Charming is going to take over the kingdom and kill Shrek. Shrek the Third is an eyefull of visual delight. But it's far from being as good as Shrek or even Shrek 2. I give it a 6.7 because it lacks the things that the first two films have. I liked Shrek the Third, but it wasn't as good as the first two. I am giving it a recommendation.
