Disappointing Sequel

Rating: 6/10 (27 November 2007)

Shrek the Third (2007, Dir. Chris Miller)
When the King of Far, Far Away 'croaks', it is up to Shrek, Donkey and Puss in Boots go off to bring back the next heir to the throne, Artie . Whilst Shrek and his crew are gone, Prince Charming brings together all evil fairy tale creatures in an attempt to take over as the new king.
The problem of being so great like 'Shrek 2' was, there is the hard job of having another great sequel which comes after it. The problem here in this movie, is the lack of jokes compared to the first two movies. There just wasn't many parts of the movie, which would actually made you laugh out loud. The story was a good idea, but was wasted with the poor writing. The characters still have that wonderful charm with them. The new characters introduced aren't bad either. Eric Idle plays Merlin, who is one of the better characters in the Shrek series, and Justin Timberlake is actually a very good actor, and i was very impressed with him. Still, it is an enjoyable movie, which i am able to watch.
