Fairy tale baddies seek revenge and Shrek goes on a quest to avoid the throne.

Rating: 6/10 (29 May 2007)

THE FROG KING RULES!!! -Well anyway, that was the funniest scene in the whole movie and it came early so after that hilarious and promising bit Shrek 3 was only mildly amusing. I felt there were some missed opportunities in making some scenes funnier by what was shown and/or said. As I watched, I found myself saying, "They should have done this instead of that" or "said this instead of that".
Shrek 3 is "average" and so I'm giving it 5 stars + 1 for the frog king = 6. It is best for children, I think; If I were a kid I'd give it 9 or 10 stars for cuteness and animation alone. But a grown person needs a little bit more edge, imagination, and cleverness than is offered; a bit more "meat and potatoes", if you will. There are, for example, many hard-headed prisoners who I'm sure would agree that it's not as simple as is portrayed towards the end of the movie. Couldn't they have come up with something "less straight forward?" Like maybe a "key", for instance (chuckle! chuckle!) So my final 2 cents is this: Highly recommended for kids (under 12, I'm thinking). Mildly amusing for Adults (except for the frog king scene, of course; that was a scream). Love, Boloxxxi.
