Shrek The Third (DVD)

...father and I sit through Shrek One and Shrek Two roughly 18 times. Now, I love the daft green ogre as much as the next demented mum, but I was starting to think bad thoughts whenever I heard that 5 letter name mentioned. Out of sheer desperation if nothing else, we decided to take him to see Shrek 3 as soon as it was out. I don’t think Kyle slept for a week beforehand! Directors: Chris Miller and Raman Hui Release Date: June 29th 2007 Production ...
...things<<< The third of the Shrek Films, sees Shrek’s father/frog-in-law, the king on his deathbed telling him that as Fiona’s husband he is next in line to the throne, unless Fiona’s distant cousin Arthur can be found. Shrek, not being one for formalities sets off with Donkey and Puss in Boots to track down Arthur to bring him back as Far Far Away’s new King. Prince Charming meanwhile, is feeling bitter and resentful of Shrek’s growing popularity ...

Review of Shrek The Third (DVD)

...film really need an introduction? Shrek 3, sorry.. Shrek The Third, is everywhere you look at the moment and with it only having been on at the big screen for a matter of days you can still find it popping up as you tune into your every day television shows. Only problem is a lot of people have already picked it up on the black market or downloaded it from the internet. I went to see an evening showing of the movie last night, the first time I have ...
...be an interesting night. Shrek is the last of the threequels this summer really. With people slating Spiderman 3 for trying too much, then Pirates 3 for being too long, I remember reading an article in the paper saying how it was good to see Shrek has stuck to its typical length when it comes to creating a third installment. Well, I'm not surprised really as it is a childrens film no matter how much they may try to say they're trying to grow the ...

Review of Shrek The Third (DVD)

...as promised, Dreamworks have delivered Shrek 3 just in time for the kids school holidays. Lovable ogre Shrek is back, with all his usual backside itches, and groans about everything and everyone around him. After all, all he wants to do is live happily ever after in his swamp, with his wife Princess Fiona, just the two of them. Meanwhile Donkey and the Dragon have gone on to have their own little batch of dragon/donkey's, and Puss In Boots has broken ...
...loses sight of what made Shrek so refreshingly funny the first couple of times. There is also a real lack of heart to it, and its pretty appalling to think that such a likeable cast combined with so many funny moments and so many likeable characters have resulted in such a mish mash of sometimes good and often quite bad sequences. The animation, and its attention to detail, is once again second to none, and all the progression that CGI etc have made ...

Review of Shrek The Third (DVD)

...can tell from the title, Shrek the Third is the third in the highly popular and successful Shrek franchise. It is due to open in the UK on 28 June, but opened here in Belgium last week. Six of us went to see it at the cinema on a wet Saturday afternoon, 2 adults, an 18-year old and three children (8,6 and 3). I shall just give a very brief taster of the film so as not to spoil it for those who will see it, and say what we thought was good and less ...
...Unfortunately, the king dies leaving Shrek as first in line to the throne, a prospect at which Shrek is less than thrilled. He has been given the name of one other potential heir, so he sets off to recruit him, accompanied by his old faithful companions. Meanwhile, a villain from a previous film has his heart set on seizing the throne and making his own happily ever after. The film moves at a tremendous pace following the rival camps until the final ...

Review of Shrek The Third (DVD)

...you can say about the Shrek films is that the animation goes from strength to strength. Full credit to Dreamworks' animation studio; their attention to detail is superb. As usual, the characters look splendid; they have a good sense of weight and underlying musculature, each has his or her own consistent mode of movement, they all have liquid, realistic eyes and millions of tiny details like individual pores, moles and hundreds of independently moving ...
...They are determined to send Shrek on yet another quest, seemingly with the sole intention of bringing back yet another sidekick. This one has been developed with the express purpose of appealing to teenage viewers. The old characters aren't given any new material. Instead of having one butt-whupping princess, we have a whole group of them, so original gags are repeated. Despite introducing a plethora of storybook bad guys, they fail to capitalise ...

...am a massive fan of Shrek and when I heard they were making a third film, I could not believe it! It was a very long wait, and when the time finally came, I jumped at the first chance I could to see it...! ***** Shrek was released in 2002, introducing the nation to the big, green not-so-scary ogre. Along with his 'friend' Donkey, Shre has to journey to rescue a beautiful princess, Fiona from a dragon and return him to Lord Farquad in order to save ...

Before they get back, Shrek and Fiona fall in love but Lord Farquad spoils the magical moment when he demands Fiona's hand in marriage. So Fiona and Farquad prepares the wedding, but Shrek, Donkey and Donkey's new love, the Dragon, do all they can to stop in. In the end, they save ...

...I'm not the world's biggest Shrek fan, although I have seen both of the previous instalments in the Dreamworks franchise. The first sticks in my mind for the at times hilarious interplay between Shrek and Donkey, but the second I confess I have virtually no memory of. When Mrs Nobby invited me along to a special preview showing organised by her company on June 26th, I went along (a) to please Mrs Nobby (b) because it was free and (c) because I had ...

After much heckling from the audience and a calamity on stage, Charming exits stage left to his 'dressing room', vowing to the memory of his fairy godmother that he will take his rightful place as heir to the kingdom of Far Far Away (the land in which much of the three films is set). The scene then moves to Shrek and Fiona, standing in at various events (including a calamitous ship launch and a ...

Review of Shrek The Third (DVD)

...and I have to agree, Shrek the Third was definitely my favourite film of all three, hilarious from start to end and a great film for all the family. Don't get me wrong, I like the other two as well. Shrek is just a great cartoon that I think works really well because both kids and adults can find the jokes funny and appreciate the humour. They seem to have the same formula as the Simpsons, which appeals to all ages as well very cleverly. I think ...
...If you're not familiar with Shrek he is a giant green ogre who lives in a land called Far Far Away. In previous films you see him meet and marry his princess, Fiona and so far they are living happily ever after. Changes will occur to their everyday life that in the beginning Shrek is not completely ready for. Will he find his courage to look after Fiona and his new responsibilities? Shrek is voiced by Mike Myers (Austin Powers) and he does a really ...

Shrek & donkey head off on this mission where he has to overcome obstacles, to find this princess and when he does, he just acts like a typical ogre, not a prince charming as she has hoped. However the 2 can’t stand each other at first, but when they begin to spend time together they get along very well, and of course he falls for her. But as she was a human princess and he was a green ogre, he could never reveal his true ...

Review of Shrek The Third (DVD)

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 ...

...films with the first two Shrek films are close to the top of my favourites list. The 3rd file (Shrek The Third) keeps up the tradition being a truely funny film, suitable for all ages with superb animation a good plot and as usual a great voice cast and soundtrack. The film starts with the death of the frog king of Far Far Away (Skrek's Father in Law) leaving Shrek (Mike Myers) as the natural successor to the throne, a frightening though for anyone ...

The short film gave me a "huh? It's over ...

Review of Shrek The Third (DVD)

...unpleasantly surprised. The first two Shrek films were massive blockbusters and raved about by anyone who saw them. Unfortunately, this film does not compare. ‘Rotten Tomatoes’ rates it only 41% and IMDB gives it 6.6 out of 10. I feel that these poor ratings are correct. It has a very poor story, the comedy is getting old and unlike the previous two, most of it is made for very small children and those without a sense of humour; there is no content ...
...new characters (less of Donkey, Shrek and Puss). ******Story******* It starts as Shrek 2 finished. Prince Charming is mother-less and a ridicule of Far, far Away. He plans to take over the kingdom that has now been left the Shrek after the death of King Harold (the frog). As Shrek goes to find a new air-to-the-throne King Arthur in England (my opinion a very, very poor scene) after finding out Fiona is pregnant, and Price Charming and his fellow ...
