Born to be king.

Rating: Null/10 (3 June 2007)

Takes place sometime after the events in the Shrek 2. King Harold is at a dying state. And when he pasts away Shrek will have to take his place as king. Shrek however, doesn't want to take that role, as he'll have to leave his swamp for it. In luck, Fiona has a cousin name Artie, who is next in line to be king. So Shrek, Donkey, & Puss N Boots head out on a journey to find Artie and convince him that he's going to be the new king of Far Far Away. Besides that Shrek was asked by Fiona about how great it be if they'd start a family. He of course isn't too found of being a father as ogre babies are more rampaging than regular babies. And keeps having nightmares about it during the journey.
Meanwhile Prince Charming, has been a laughing stock for what had happened in the previous film. For that he goes to the Poison Apple to cheer up all the fairytale villains that there's still hope in getting their own "happiley ever after". Will Shrek be able to over come his fear in becoming a father? Will Artie successfully become king? And will Charming be stopped for his plot to take over Far Far Away? For only being the third installment, Shrek the Third contains the usual and running gags, copyrighted music, and in jokes. However it feels much different than the first 2 as the opening and closing of it are made differently. I like how they used some ideas that weren't thought up in the previous 2, as well as more background character to spot throughout the movie. The downside is it's not above or the same as the first 2. As some of the scenes are obvious and a few that can be seen a mile away. I guarantee that there'll be more 3 funny scenes in the movie.
But overall it's either a you like it or you don't like it movie. If you're a die hard Shrek fan, then you might like it.
