Critic Reviews
Shrek the Third seems at once more energetic and more relaxed, less desperate to prove its cleverness and therefore to some extent smarter.
Read the full reviewAfter a buoyantly funny first half-hour, stylish animated comedy takes a breather before ramping it up again for a rambunctious, girrrl-power finale that provides a convenient springboard for further adventures to come.
Read the full reviewThe journey is not very exciting, but the destinations are inspired.
Read the full reviewGets back the mood, the pleasure and even some of the freshness of its first installment.
Read the full reviewThe world of the fanciful fable looks particularly vibrant this time with its signature blend of realism and fantasy. It is a pleasure to watch these fairy tale folk be themselves -- yet again.
Read the full reviewFour words say all that needs to be said about Shrek the Third: more of the same.
Read the full reviewA damped-down return to the Kingdom of Far Far Away, lacking the comic energy of the first brilliant film and not measuring up to the second.
Read the full reviewMuch of the bite and a good deal of the wit of the first two films are missing here. The rude send-up of beloved fairy tale conventions remains -- somewhat -- but these playful jabs no longer come as pleasing surprises. You expect them. And you expect better.
Read the full reviewThe end result of Shrek the Third is that you laugh a lot and you go home grumpy.
Read the full reviewThis latest iteration of DreamWorks's money machine has its ups and downs, its longueurs along with its felicities, plus an abiding preoccupation with poop.
Read the full reviewHas its moments... But does a kids' movie really need, among other similar touches, a Hooters joke? I, for one, wouldn't want to have to explain it.
Read the full reviewThere's no disguising the fact that Shrek the Third has come down with a bad case of sequelitis. You know the symptoms: Lots of razzle-dazzle to distract from the hole at the center of the story. You know, the place where fresh ideas should be.
Read the full reviewShrek The Third instead goes for less: fewer jokes, less energy, and toned-down characters.

Shrek The Third
"On Saturday Janurary 14 2008 my mom rented Shrek The Third from Blockbuster for my little brother and for myself and we went to the livingroom to grab some popcorn and some soda and then put the DVD into the DVD player and then we sat down on the sofa and we watched Shrek The Third Shrek The Third was funny just like Shrek and Shrek 2 anyway I give Shrek The Third Two Thumbs Up and the score of 74 out of 100 and I hope you enjoy Shrek The Third"

I am still waiting to laugh
"Shrek the third. was okay but it was not as good as the first and second one. It didnot hold a candle to the first one.I think that it needed a little more Donkey.and a little bit more Humor."
drug reference
"I can't believe there was a drug reference in a PG movie. They also replaced Ye Old Bootery to Ye Old Hooters! But I still liked it a lot. It is just as good as the other two."
Dissapointed
"I was so suprised. I went to the theater expecting the laugh-out-loud funny movie that the commercials showed. Well, I guess I always knew that commercials were fake. I think it was just horrible. I give it about 3 stars, while the other Shrek movies are still 5 stars in my heart."
It was okay
"I went to go see Shrek the 3rd expecting to see a cute movie, I found that the first two were much better, the movie had its moments, but could have been so much better the charactors were duller and a lot more could have been done with the story line...I would wait until it comes out to blockbuster if you havent already seen it"
Funny!
"In a theater with all adults, it was a blast. Yes in the first two films, you didn't know it would be so blunt, almost raunchy at times. This one not so much, but I laughed harder at this one. Pinocchio. Nuff said!"
