Shrek the Third Reviews

The Mahalo Top 7

Variety: Shrek the Third Review
- "While still mirthful and eccentric enough to amuse his hordes of admirers, the irascible green ogre begins to show signs of encroaching middle age in "Shrek the Third.""
New York Magazine: Shrek the Third Review
- "Computer-generated animated movies with wall-to-wall jokes can be excruciating, but these jokes are the funniest money can buy."
USATODAY.com: Shrek the Third: Royal Lineage of Laughs Goes On
- "The world of the fanciful fable looks particularly vibrant this time with its signature blend of realism and fantasy. It is a pleasure to watch these fairy tale folk be themselves — yet again."
newsday.com: Shrek the Third Review
- "As it is, the latest installment in the life and times of the good, green ogre tickles and heartens with slick efficiency."
The Boston Globe: Shrek the Third Review
- "The journey is not very exciting, but the destinations are inspired."

New York Post: We're Ogre It (2.5/4)

The A.V. Club: Shrek the Third Review (Grade: D)
- "Sequels usually follow the rubric "same thing as last time, but more." Shrek The Third instead goes for less: fewer jokes, less energy, and toned-down characters reiterating old banter, as if from a half-finished outline of a script that never got its planned punch-up."
Premiere: Shrek the Third Review (1.5/4)
- "The second installment in this month's trilogy of threequels, Shrek the Third makes you long for the weepy soap opera that was Spider-Man 3 and actually look forward to the bombastic overkill that will surely be Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. "
Philadelphia Inquirer: Shrek the Third Review
- "As far as the adventures of Shrek go, it grieves me to report that the third time is charmless. Swamp Thing, drafted here to succeed the dying king, is adrift. And his film is becalmed."
TV Guide: Shrek the Third Review (2/4)
- "Writers Jeffrey Price, Peter S. Seaman, Aron Warner and Chris Miller (who also codirected) lay on the pop-culture gags fans of the series have come to expect, but their story is an odd one for a film aimed primarily at small fry. "
