Well, I have to say I had very low expectations heading into this film, another third episode of a popular franchise. What with the Empire 2 star review and the trailers looking average at best. But I have to say I was pleasently surprised. I enjoyed this movie!
Usually a trailer will have most of the best bits from the movie, (Die Hard 4, Silver Surfer) but the company producing the trailer for this Shrek movie just seemed to want to show us more of the same and none of the more impressive visuals on offer here.
I certainly enjoyed it as much as the other two movies, and what I love about Shrek is the world the film-makers have created. It all seems familiar and also a pretty cool place to hang out for 90mins.
It is not a hilarious film, only just a comedy really. But it is so well made and the characters so endearing that you sit there with a smile on your face through most of the movie. I am actually looking forward to the already announced Shrek 4, although, maybe it could do with a few more laughs.
Shrek the Third is a logical continuation of the storylines began in the first two movies and shows once again how amazing computer animation can be. To think that my favourite movie magazine (Empire) gave this 2 stars but the plodding, angst ridden latest Harry Potter, 4 stars! What is the reviewing world coming to?!!!
