Shrek the Third

Pros: Reference-quality digital video; good follow-up; robust extra features. A must-have!

Cons: Shrek could've made better choices.

The Bottom Line: If you haven't gotten enough of Shrek, then mosey on down to the Best Buy Corral and get your fill. Better than "Shrek 4-D."

Review: Shrek and Fiona, along with the rest of the crew, are back in the third installment of the Shrek series, in HD-DVD format here, with a healthy serving of high-definition (including web-enabled) extras, as well as the usual DVD goodies. The picture is ...

Pros: Music, storyline

Cons: Did not see one.

The Bottom Line: I think it's good for all ages, but I had to chose from the categories. Highly recommend it.

Review: I went to see Shrek the Third the weekend it opened with my fifteen year old daughter, but also plan on buying the DVD, so I am submitting this for a DVD review. We have seen the first two movies on DVD. It's a good thing I did not read the critics ...

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

Review: With all great movies all good things must come to an end and they did a great job with this movie. Now I dont know if anymore are going to be made but whether or not they are the movie was great. Shrek finds out he is next in line to the throne and ...

Pros: Funny with more kid friendly humor

Cons: Not quite as funny as the first two; potentially the death scene

The Bottom Line: It's a shade behind the first two, but it will still make you laugh.

Review: So, the second of the three May trilogy movies opened this weekend. Shrek the Third is looking to capture the family audience that made the first two computer animated movies such big hits. While it has lots of humor and a great new story, it's just a ...

Pros: I enjoyed it far better than I did the second installment...

Cons: Geared towards the kiddies more so than the original, which was clearly for teens/adults.

The Bottom Line: Read review.

Review: Whether it be Spiderman 3, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, or the third installment in the animated series about the swamp’s most lovable ogre, one thing is very clear, Hollywood is still under the impression that quantity equals ...

Pros: Great line readings

Cons: Not ALWAYS funny

The Bottom Line: Third Shrek film still full of fun and charms.

Review: The last thing Shrek (Mike Myers) wanted to do was be the king of Far Far Away Land. However, when Fiona's (Cameron Diaz) dad, and current ruler, King Harold (John Cleese), retires, he has no choice but to fill in. However, he has another option: recruit ...

Pros: Superb animation, characters remain lovable, and some good chuckles

Cons: Artie! And the series is beginnig to exude that not-so-fresh aroma.

The Bottom Line: Despite its hiccups, Shrek the Third is still "Above Average" entertainment. Let's face it, Shrek's just too lovable to dump on. So, actually, three and a half stars.

Review: Even though Shrek - Sir Shrek, that is - and Princess Fiona have become a fixture at the royal court of the kingdom of Far Far Away, it doesn't mean that our ogrish hero has to like it. With Fiona's father having been transformed into a frog (see SHREK ...

Pros: Great family entertainment.

Cons: Didn't get to see enough of Shrek's babies.

The Bottom Line: I think that Shrek the Third is a great movie for the whole family to watch.

Review: I was a little skeptical when I had heard that they were making another Shrek movie. I did like the first one, the second one was not too bad, but what can they do for the third? My two and a half year old daughter is in love with Shrek, so ...

Pros: Animation just keeps getting better and better

Cons: Shrek 3 has forgotten what made it truly funny. Now it's merely O.K.

The Bottom Line: If fatherhood causes someone to lose their sense of humor, I'm in a heap o' crap.

Review: On the days when I work downtown I’m out of the house for a pretty good chunk of time. I leave my home at 7 a.m. and if I’m lucky I get back at 7 p.m. Thankfully, my work allows me to do two days a week here at the house. Still, I begrudge ...

Pros: cute, kid-friendly

Cons: just doesn't have the pizzazz that made Shrek so popular in the first place

The Bottom Line: Buy it for the kids if you like but Shrek is no longer "fun for the whole family", at least this slightly older viewer was disappointed

Review: You know it happens every time…you watch a movie, you love it, then you just can’t resist the first several sequels that come out. It seems like anymore - be it from a flooded market where so many works just get buried as soon as they come out or from ...
