Shrek The Third
The world-wide animation hit is looking for a hat-trick with this, the third of Dreamworks’ Shrek movies. When Shrek (Myers) married Princess Fiona (Diaz) in ‘Shrek 2’ he never wanted be King. But when his royal step-father suddenly carks it, he finds himself in line to take the throne. So Shrek and his gang, Donkey (Murphy) & Puss In Boots (Banderas) search the land for a suitable King. The most promising candidate is Fiona’s cousin Artie (Timberlake) – an underachieving slacker.

What a shame...
It's always a gamble watching a sequel to a spectacular piece of cinema. Shrek 2 both surprised and relieved those who were worried. Unfortunately, Shrek the Third may well have killed the franchise. Dreamworks would have been better off dumping this sequel and starting from scratch. This one lacks the story, fun, witty dialogue, and vibrant magic of...

pressThis instalment has the elements we've grown to love - lots of knowing and silly jokes for young and old, animation so good we don't notice it - but with slightly less cohesion than its predecessors.

pressAfter the flawed but hugely entertaining new instalments of Pirates of the Caribbean and Spiderman, Shrek's third outing comes as something of a disappointment. Sure the animation is first-class, but the joke quota is much reduced and fails to cover the paper-thin plot. With Kiwi director Andrew Adamson, who directed the first two instalments, tied up in Narnia, rookie directors Chris Miller and Raman Hui _ a former story artist and supervising animator respectively _ struggle to give Shrek 3 the same heart and hearty humour...
