Shrek the Turd

Rating: 4/10 (27 May 2007)

This movie was a waste of money and time. I'm sure the producers will disagree and they will make millions based on promotional sales and products they disperse to consumers, but not me. The first Shrek was good, original and funny. The second was less funny and less original, the third just plain stunk. The characters were the same as always, no development or any great new characters, Artie was not a great new character, just a new one. The plot was boring, Shrek does not want to be the new king of Far, Far Away and looks to have Artie take his place. I went in on the idea there would be more mayhem from Shrek's new children, but they never developed until the last few minutes, less some nightmares that Shrek had. The jokes were plentiful, the laughter was less often. The one thing that I thought truly stood out from the second Shrek is the voice-overs were much better coordinated/in sync with each other this time around, which gave a better stage presence of the voices. But I will not be buying the Third on DVD, even if it goes down to $7.44 at wal-mart, to me this movie will go down as Shrek: the Turd
