While Shrek One and Two were full of heart and simplistic charm, Shrek the Third seems to be a messy fanfare of princesses and silly villains.
One mesmerized the world with its fairytale satire and life of our favourite green ogre. Two paved the way for the wide-eyed innocence of Puss In Boots. Three introduced the angry Princess Squad (Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty), a whimsy heir Artie voiced by Justin Timberlake, and a forgetful and easily forgotten Merlin.
The jokes just do not work anymore, and it lacks in freshness and smart humour which was present in the last two. Enough of fighting princesses and ugly orge babies. Beyond the razzle dazzle, what we want really is more of the green ogre.
Shrek The Third – Fun, but somewhat disappointing
