After watching Shrek the Third, while somewhat disappointed, it still was a great movie. For me it wasn’t up to par as the first two. What makes Shrek so good is the cast of characters. This movie seemed to focus more on minor characters than the core ones.

There is a lot of adult humor in it. Many fairy tale characters make an appearance from Rapunzel who is in need of a hair transplant to Captain Hook taking on the role of Prince Charming’s henchman. It’s hard to capture the magic of movies like Shrek in sequels. It seems the film makers like to focus on content away from the main characters when it’s the main characters that we are interested in watching.

It was still a fun movie that the baby even enjoyed. Shrek the Third will definitely be a movie that we buy when released on DVD.
