Not as tight as Shrek 1 or 2. Also not doing as many bits… and the bits they do aren’t as funny. But the writing is solid. The character arc is compelling. A nice bow on this first saga of Shrek.
Lovvve fat Puss. And Idk if this is a hot take, but perhaps the best villain of the series so far?? Rumpelstiltskin is a riot. This movie is funny, don’t get me wrong… just not like the first two.
This was good. Everything about it is good, except the lighting is weird in some scenes, but Idek if I would’ve noticed that if another review hadn’t pointed it out. I personally don’t LOVE any of the songs (yet), but I don’t need to. Everything else is stellar: the acting, the story, the production design… it’s all working.

This movie is bad. The writing is bad, the jokes are bad, the villain is bad. He was literally the Shrek 2 villain, but this time he is less interesting. This is literally Shrek 2.5.

The fairytale imagination heightens the quality, but barely. That’s Shrek’s…
