Never really got going

Rating: 4/10 (9 July 2010)

I loved the first two Shrek movies. Shrek 1 was very original, and sick minded. There had never been anything like it before. Hilarious! Shrek 2 took all that was good about the original, and made it into a better storyline, with new characters. I am sad to say Shrek the Third does not do the same.
The Adult humour has gone, which was an essential part of the first two films, and there are too many characters. The plot is weak, and lifeless. The whole film seemed to be like a build up to nothing. The story never really got going. Several new characters are introduced into this instalment, including princess Fiona's cousin, Authur, and Merlin the wizard. All of the new characters are dull, and can not be loved as much as the Characters from the first two movies. Disappointing.
