Shrek the Third has pop culture potshots galore, but at the expense of the heart, charm, and wit that made the first two Shreks classics.

Apart from some modestly amusing princess shtick and a pleasantly slapsticky opening, there's no real reason for anyone over the age of 11 to see this one. Oct 18, 2008 | Full Review…

This is a very skillfully made corporate product, but I wonder who, exactly, will be fully satisfied. Apr 7, 2008 | Full Review…

There can't be another episode in the pipeline unless it is decided to erase the memory of this one which simply doesn't achieve what the first two films managed: to appeal to kids and parents as well. Jun 29, 2007 | Rating: 2/5

It would be a good idea for those involved to quit while they're still (just about) winning. Jun 29, 2007 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

In the end, Shrek the Third, like so many Hollywood animation movies today, neither trusts itself nor cares to create any new magic. If it were a child in a classroom, it would be the back-row smart arse, rather than the poetic dreamer. Jun 29, 2007 | Full Review…

Shrek the Third isn't awful, but it's bland, with a barrel-scraping averageness. Jun 29, 2007 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

The first two movies had heart, charm, wit, originality, parfait and, most unusually for an animation, characters you could properly care about. This, though, has very little of any of the above, and it breaks my heart. Aug 22, 2018 | Full Review…
