You know that because it is a "Shrek" movie it has to be good! It is only because it comes in the shadow of Shrek one and two that it is any bit of a disappointment. Many of the surprises and gags that would have made this movie amazing are not as funny the third time around. There are a lot of great parodies here, including a great scene from the “Six Million Dollar Man.” The plot may be getting a little old with over half the movie still spent sieging or escaping a castle, but this time it is the princess’ job to rescue the prince in distress.
Overall it is a good movie with great morals and still a pretty decent job with the animation, but none of it could have been pulled off without the great voice acting of a top notch cast. I personally give it 3.5 stars!
