![]() ![]() But Shrek is too scared to step up and looks to the next man in line, well, actually a teenage, Arthur. Shrek and Fiona have a problem, Fiona's father, the frog King of Far Far Away, has passed away and now it's up to Shrek to take the crown. Shrek the Third has the return of the whole cast, including the new heir to the thrown, Arthur. I think the characters didn't seem to click as well as they did in the first two. But, the trailer looked great and the stories have worked so far, my mom and I saw the premier show today and while the movie has great laughs, there seemed to be something lacking in the Shrek world. I couldn't wait to see Shrek the Third, especially since I have such a great love for the second Shrek, I'm just in love with Puss in Boots. All in all, enjoyable, but it could have been much better. However, the film, which showed a lot of promise, is undermined by a contrived storyline and an uneven script. The animation is mostly well done, and the voice talents are very good indeed, especially Eddie Murphy and Antonio Banderas. But that is pretty much it, though girls may delight in Fiona and all the fairytale princesses having some sort of princess reunion. There is a very funny scene with Donkey and Puss in Boots having a sort of body swap, and Donkey doing that priceless innocent eye look. In fact, the only sequels that surpass their original is Toy Story 2, Home Alone 2 and Garfield 2. ![]() It just goes to show how sequels are nearly always inferior to the original. ![]() The script, has a number of very bright spots, but is dull in comparison to two very good predecessors. ![]() The plot is very contrived, and has been done better many times before. I enjoyed Shrek the Third, but I found a lot of it very disappointing as well. ![]()
