Shrek for adults.....NOT for children!

Rating: 6/10 (17 July 2007)

Spoilers!!! I love the first two films, I could watch them every week and not get tired! My now six year old son has loved them since he was two and can quote huge chunks out of them, so we were really excited to finally see one at the cinema! But half way through he was bored, and asked when we could go home! If I had gone by myself I would have been perfectly happy! It is a great film, the graphics are amazing! The scene of the funeral was amazing and the jokes are really funny! But this is NOT a kids movie! Some of the scenes are too much for a kid to take in! Shreks dream, the frog dying then coming back to life, then dying all over again just left him confused. All the stuff about Shrek not wanting to be a dad went on for FAR too long for a child to handle! Most of the jokes an under 10 year old would not get! Puss' accent was lost on him most of the time, he kept asking what he had said. All in all, I would recommend this for ANY adult or teen, but leave your younger children at home with the first two!
