Shrek = Crap.

Shrek 2 ruined it for me by downgrading it.
I loved the 1st one.

I liked Shrek 1 thought shrek 2 was awful.

Damn kids.

I liked Shrek 1 thought shrek 2 was awful.

It was decent. A step down, but then again, I've yet to see a sequel that matched the first. (Yep, even Star Wars.)

I thought Empire was just as good, as a New Hope.

 

[Cinemaman]

ESB was the best SW movie IMO

First review!

Hey Harry- I live here in Sacramento and am an avid reader of AICN.

But, I’ve never had the opportunity to send anything worth while…until now. This past Sat. afternoon I was about to buy tickets to see Borat for the second time when this strange dude came out of nowhere and asked me and my buddy if we wanted to see a screening of an upcoming animated movie coming out next year. (It was kind of weird because he didn't seem to be approaching anyone else.) Since I am a huge fan of animation - my favorite being IRON GIANT, we took him up on his offer. The only catch though was that we had to stay afterwards and give feedback.

No one in the theater seemed to know what movie we were about to screen until a guy came out and announced we were going to watch Shrek 3!!! (The opening title sequence actually read "Shrek The Third”.) The audience immediately burst into excitement. The announcer also mentioned that the movie was only about 40% animated. The rest was filled in with storyboards and unfinished animation. Pretty cool since I’ve never seen a film in such an early stage of production.

This is my first review so I’m not gonna go into too many plot details. That wouldn’t be cool. The bottom line is that this is a funny sequel that still needs work before its release to reach the level of the first two Shreks- both of which I really enjoyed.

You may remember that the second movie ended with King Harold turning into a frog and Prince Charming getting booted out of Far Far Away. SHREK 3 begins with the frog king on his death bed. Before he croaks, he informs a mortified Shrek that the ogre must take over the throne (very funny scene). That is unless he can track down Fiona's cousin Artie who is the only other blood relative who can rightly inherit the kingdom.

Shrek wants nothing to do with the kingdom and sets off to find Artie with Donkey and Puss In Boots. I got such a kick out of seeing those two characters again - I'll just say they don't disappoint. The two of them got some of the biggest laughs from the audience! Most of the other side kicks are back as well. Meanwhile Prince Charming plots to overthrow the throne and take over Far Far Away by recruiting all these fairy-tale villains who hang at the Poison Apple Pub. That’s all I’m gonna give away for now.

The movie could use more jokes like the first two films had. It seemed like it tried to focus too much on the story and was much more character and story driven than the first two. In my opinion they need to cut down on Artie's character time and blast out with more action and comedy during that section of the movie.

That said I had a good time overal and most of the audience seemed to enjoy it as well. What I will give the filmmakers credit for is going after a different type of storyline rather than a rehashing of the same old tired themes.

The film isn't opening for a while so hopefully they can make this movie go from good to great. Right now it's a good sequel but not as fun as the first two Shrek movies.

So as you can understand 3rd movie is just good, but not su fun like previous two were. This smells not so sweet

 

[Immortalfire]

Down with Shrek.

 

[Matt]

Shrek sucks

 

[Warhammer]

I hate Shrek with a passion.
I hope the movie bombs, especially with the movies that it'll have to compete with this summer.

...who am I kidding, damn kids will beg their parents to see this movie, so it'll make some good money. F*** those damn kids.

Wow, a review of a rough cut 7 months before it's release and you are taking this as how it will be, sad.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I'm going to come in here and say the apparently uncool thing; I really really enjoyed both of the films, they're no Superman Returns but they will do.

 

[The Kid]

I never liked shrek.

Don't know what you are trying to say, but this guy as I think tells truth.

Besides I doubt they will be able to change the whole script (production has already been finished).

So it looks like Shrek 3 will be not so hit like, if they don't edit some unnecessary scenes.

But as we see, there are less jokes and fun than unnecessary scenes what make the situation more difficult for it's creators.

its the truth as long as something can be classed as outside the mainstream,cult or underground usually people on the net love it but as soon as the general public take a shine to it, everyone online starts to bash it and say they always hated it

hell a good half of the net now say things like spider-man, LOTRS, batman and others are crap and should have never been made yet when they first came out 99% of net nerds were busting a nut over every little news bite and image.

aslways been the way
