Good but not as good as the original!

Advantages: Still funny, good charcaters
Disadvantages: Not as good as the first Shrek

Shrek 3 is apparently better than the previous two Shrek movies. I disagree and would say the first movie was better and that the characters have lost a bit of novelty however I would still say that this is an excellent family film. The film follows on from the previous Shrek and starts with Shrek searching for a boy called Arthur because the King of Far Far Away has died and as Shrek is next in line but does not want to be King he tries to find ...
...rule Far Far Away and Shrek has to think about becoming a father! The characters and the actors are the same as the previous films and my favourite character has to be donkey as I find his voice hilarious! Shrek is played by Mike Myers, Fiona by Cameron Diaz, Eddie Murphy is Donkey and Puss in the Boots with many other funny characters including the Gingerbread Man, Pinocchio and the 3 Pigs. This is a good addition to the series but I do wonder how ...

Transformers tranform on to blu - ray

Advantages: Good film with excellent special effects
Disadvantages: none

Transformers was a cartoon series that was first shown about 1985. It was about cars and other vehicles that can change into robots. These toys were big and every young schoolboy wanted the latest to add to their collection. Over time the fad for these toys slowly dwindled away. Then they transform onto our screens again 20 years later. The film is about the fight between the autobots, who are the good guys, and the decepticons who are the nasty ...

...Springfield is cleaned up. In the meantime, Homer takes pity on a run away animal and adopts it as his new pet. Unfortunately for Homer looking after an animal is not as easy as he first thought and a nappy just won’t suffice. With the Simpsons’ home slowly filling up with waste Homer finds a new dumping place.
