I saw Shrek the Third last night and I’d give it a 6 out of 10 stars, the same rating I’d give Shrek 2, though I’d say this latest edition is better than Shrek 2. It is certainly hilarious, filled with all that good old Shrek humor, but when it comes to the sappy parts in which the characters have to talk about their feelings and the lessons they’ve learned and such, dialogue still comes across as far too forced, which for some reason I didn’t sense with the first film. I would much prefer the film to be twice as long (about 3 hours) and have that much more character and story development (and more orchestral music scoring and less pop music), but I guess most audiences wouldn’t much care for that! Still, I enjoyed it, and I would certainly recommend it if you enjoyed the first two films.
Shrek 4 is scheduled to come out in 2010, according to imdb.com, so we’ll have to wait a few years…
I really haven’t been up to much else worth mentioning… it is extremely nice to be out of school.
P.S. For movie ratings, 4 is average, so anything above a 4 is good and anything below a 4 is bad, while 4 itself is neutral.
