Not great, but still decent-MINOR SPOILERS

Rating: 7/10 (18 May 2007)

This is still a good kid's movie, but by the third go-around the adults will surely grow tired of this rehash of the first two movies. They took all the good elements from each of the first two movies and blended them together, such as Puss in Boots' "cute eyes" trick as well as spells gone haywire (Donkey becomes Puss and vice versa); also when the princesses team up and all know how to fight, a la Fiona in the first movie. The humor is pretty much gone, which is a shame because of the great potential from the vocal talent. This was Justin Timberlake's worst acting job so far (and yes, I am among the few that think he's not a bad actor), and it required the least out of him (just to read a script) but it seemed like he phoned it in. Andrew Adamson did well to stay away from the director's chair of this one, even though he did exec. produce it or something, because it is by far the worst of the three.
Overall, I give it a 7 out of 10-because it wasn't horrible, but it wasn't great either.
