Ok, I don't know how many of you are itching to see the newest Shrek movie, but I saw it last night. (I was babysitting) I am generally a big fan of animated movies. Up? LOVED it. Still wanting to go see How to Train your Dragon... stay tuned. I really liked the first Shrek movie. I thought the second one was still pretty good. The third movie started to turn me sour, and the fourth one was really just one too much.
Its the basic story of you don't know what you've got until you lose it. Shrek signs a magic contract with Rumpelstiltskin and then he has to undo it all. It's like every other story of losing something and wanting it back; it's just not new. There is less that is funny about it, and I would think, less that kids will like. It's a movie for the parents, but it's not even a very good one.
If you just love Shrek, then sure, go see it. But you will not have missed anything if you don't see it. I would hold out for other summer animated flicks to get your fill of kids movies... Toy Story 3? Despicable Me? and not animated, but Karate Kid?
