Third time lucky? no

Rating: 4/10 (24 August 2007)

It was obvious after shrek 2 there would be a third. And i first heard of shrek 3 in 2005 that it was coming out in 2007.
Well it's 2007 and have finally saw the most anticipated animated feature of the year.......and what do i think? in a word crap.
The basic story is the king of far far away has died and shrek and Fiona are next in line to be the new king and queen. But shrek doesn't really fancy that idea so goes to get the next heir arthur. (or artie voiced by Justin Timberlake) Meanwhile prince charming is plotting to rule far far away and Fiona is pregnant.
Here are the good points: The animation-The animation has come on leaps and bounds from the original shrek and facial expressions and effects on mud and water are exceptional.
Eric Idle-Eric Idle plays merlin the wizard in this and this was a stroke if pure genius. All his scenes are funny and make you go into stitches.
And here are the bad points: Justin Timberlake!- Until i saw shrek three i never knew that someone could be bad at voice acting. Justin Timberlake is terrible at voice acting! How! Well i can't honestly explain it but you have to see it for yourself to see how bad it is.
Length-The story had a lot more potential to be longer therefor getting more in it but it finishes at one hour and twenty two minutes.
Pace-It felt very VERY rushed. they basically made shrek three for the sake of making it. And because if this it was rushed and was over way too quick not packing not a great deal into it's short time span.
Well thats my verdict.
