When Shrek married Fiona the last thing he had in mind was becoming the next King of Far Far Away. But when Shrek’s father-in-law, King Harold, suddenly croaks, that is exactly what he faces. Recruiting Donkey and Puss In Boots for a new quest, Shrek sets out to bring back the rightful heir to the throne. Meanwhile back in the kingdom, Fiona's jilted Prince Charming storms the city with an army of fairy tale villains to seize the throne. Fiona and a band of princesses must stop him to ensure there will be a kingdom left to rule!

Summary: Just keeps gets worse.
Comment: Just like most movies series they can not keep the plot or story going. If each release to this series it just keeps getting worse. Shrek one is excellent and a classic, Sherk two is so so and Sherk three leave it at the store or rent it.

Summary: I Rather Stick With The First Two
Comment: The Third Installment in The Shrek Franchise is Easily The Weakest of Them All. The Animation Might Be Better, But The Same Can't Be Said For The Story or The New Charecters. Though, I Do Have To Admit I Thought Puss and Donkey Switching Bodies Was Pretty Clever. But Other Than That, The Film Needed To Be Better.
The Special Features Include a Not So Great Worcestershine Academy Yearbook, Some Crazy Animation Goofs, Some Wierd Deleted Scenes, A Funny Dance Called The Donkey Dance by Donkey, A Cool Meet The Cast (Both The Old and New) Feature, A Funny Shrek's Guide To Parenthood (Which Diffrent Charecters Give Shrek Info on Parenthoo), an Interesting Tech of Shrek Feature, a Great Dreamworks Animation Jukebox (a Look at The Musical Moments in Over The Hedge, Shark Tale, Madagascar and More), and Great Previews for Bee Movie, Kung Fu Panda, Spiderwick Cronicles, Shrek 1 and 2, and Cholotte's Web.
Overall Ratings:
Movie-3/5
DVD-4/5
Customer Rating:
Summary: The weakest by far, but that just means the series good.
Comment: Some problems like Justin Tiberlakes character, the Princess characters, and the ending are lame but the fairy tale creatures provide plenty of laughs. And look out for two Pythons.

Summary: Shrek Third
Comment: I just watched this movie today again for possibly the tenth time. Yes, I know, I got it for my grandchildren, but hey, it's a very interesting movie. Every time I see it I find something else that I missed the previous time. It's filled with loveable fanatasy characters, interesting problems, and humor. Okay, so you're an adult. So what? Just don't miss any of the Shrek movies. It will get your mind off the economy, right? All the Shrek movies are great. Note to self: (Research Dreamworks films to see what else is out there.)

Summary: Shrek sadly jumps a shark tank ... "Loooooook Ooooout!!!"
Comment:
This is where they officially 'jumped the shark' with his production. I remember Mike Myers having to go on tour to promote this film and not only did he seem to cringe trying to explain it or talk about, he very clearly seemed depressed about it.
Like so many others have said, the allure of the original film has long since vanished and leaves this current offering from Dreamworks as probably the worst movie they've ever made.
Recently, I realized how much my son loved the original Shrek movie when he kept bringing me the DVD case in the afternoon and pointing at the TV wanting to watch it. He laughed during the silly parts, clapped during and after the fight scenes and danced during all the songs. Twenty minutes into the third installment, he turned away, left the room and wanted nothing to do with it. I turned it off and he went back to coloring. About an hour later, out of curiosity, I put the original Shrek back in the DVD and he was stuck to it - once more - clapping, laughing and dancing until the very end where he danced to the 'Swamp Party Karaoke' scene.
I guess the message is this: Shrek isn't a played out concept at all. Shrek is very endearing and a lovable character. He always will be. I actually like Donkey the best. But the people in charge of this project forgot who this film was supposed to be targeted at and thus have been left with a real stinker.
The sad thing is that we will probably see Shrek 4 sometime soon, and they'll be trying to hammer home more of this adult-driven nonsense.
