When King Harold suddenly croaks, Shrek (Mike Myers) learns he will have to rule the land of Far, Far Away, unless he can find a suitable heir to the throne. The most-promising candidate is Princess Fiona's (Cameron Diaz) cousin Artie (Justin Timberlake), a teenage slacker in a medieval high-school. Shrek and his trusted companions, Donkey (Eddie Murphy) and Puss in Boots (Antonio Banderas), set out to bring Artie back but find their mission is a bigger challenge than they expected.

Critics Consensus

Shrek the Third has pop culture potshots galore, but at the expense of the heart, charm, and wit that made the first two Shreks classics.

Deborah Ross

The Spectator

The first two movies had heart, charm, wit, originality, parfait and, most unusually for an animation, characters you could properly care about. This, though, has very little of any of the above, and it breaks my heart.

Apart from some modestly amusing princess shtick and a pleasantly slapsticky opening, there's no real reason for anyone over the age of 11 to see this one.

Film Frenzy

Both the donkey and the kitty have largely been neutered, and the film’s makers didn’t bother to introduce any compelling new characters to pick up the slack.

Rated: 2/4

Technically and visually, the Shrek features continue to advance.

A satisfying sequel that has its charm but isn't quite up to par with its predecessors.

Rated: B

Didn’t like it, my least favorite movie of the 4. I don’t rewatch it. I didn’t like the Arthur character or the music selection.

It didn’t offend all that much but it was still a bad movie nonetheless, not by itself completely, but defended compared to its predecessors and sequel. It didn’t really feel like a Shrek movie.

I liked the first two Shrek movies. This one? No no. I refuse to believe they tried to make this hell of a movie something good. Let’s just forget about this movie and move on to Shrek forever after. Shrek forever after isn’t great, but it’s not THAT bad..
