Critics Consensus

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

This is a very skillfully made corporate product, but I wonder who, exactly, will be fully satisfied.

On this evidence, thrice is definitely enough.

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.

Technically and visually, the Shrek features continue to advance.

Bowling Green Daily News

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

Shrek the Third (2007) already started to lose the quality of the first two, but it's still a fun movie to watch and enjoy.

Disappointment. This movie had the potential to be the best, but turns out to be the worst one. The first act is okay, but the movie is on downfall afterwards. Toilet humor, none of the charm or heart of 1-2, feels like Illumination before Illumination. The animation is blander than ever. The new characters are completely forgettable, trash villain.

It's a decent movie, but nothing special. Honestly, the most forgettable of the saga.

Not that funny and kind of annoying. My kid liked it.

Shrek the Third brings more fairy tale fun and quirky humour, though it’s a bit lighter on the heart of the first two films. Still, it’s an entertaining ride with lovable characters and silly adventures.
