what happened to Shrek's skills ? Snow White rules !

Rating: 5/10 (6 August 2007)

This was really nothing ı expected of. The first two were outstanding, entertaining, full of action surprises that are satisfying as this is not a drama animation. But this last one. I mean what happened to friend Shrek ? He knows how to fight. He is not like friend Obelix who uses brutal power to defeat bad guys. He can fight with his own skills in American Wrestling (as Americans say) or Pankratio (as we say) better than Sting, Rock etc.. And no friendly arguments with The Donkey, they more likely support each other in another calm grown up way.
Both Donkey and Puss are pushed unnecessarily to one corner and; Arthur and Prince Charming are the ones leading the supporting act. Kinda disappointing though.
But to give the Sezar, Sezar's due, Snow White is beautifully characterized in sense of realization. She really keeps the movie going when the story chokes up and does A GREAT PERFORMANCE in the scene she defeats Living Tree Gate Guards. Takes the song from older Disney shots and successfully transforms it to rock sound of our time. Congratulations to the writers.
All in all the movie gives the hidden message of being the last of the series, as it tries to make the characters settle down in one home, which we usually see in movies, trying to cure the lack of family sense in the west world.
