Last Saturday I went to go see Shrek 4. I know it's been out of at least two weeks at this point but i've not had the time to do and see it. I was really looking forward to this movie cause I am a huge fan of Shrek! And what would make the movie more exciting is that it was going to be 3-D! The begining of the movie looked promicing, Shrek is settling down to a normal family life, but as time goes on he grows tired of it, and at his children's birthday party he get's mad and makes a deal with Rumpelstilscan, taking away the day he was born and thus changing everyone's lives in Far Far Away.
The plot to me really isn't a good plot for Shrek... to me it was more like "It's a Wonderful Life" but with Shrek fairy tales characters, set in an mid evil time period. And of course shrek and Rumpelstilscan are the only ones that know that the world has changed, and most of the character think Shrek is literally crazy.
Normally in a Shrek film they have alot of great celebrity voices, and poke fun at Pop Culture. In this one not so much... which was a big dissapointment to me... I liked how in the 3rd movie they had Justin Timberlake as King Arthur, and poked fun at high school life, and alot of the funny women from SNL to play the princesses.
Another thing that bothered me was that the movie didn't stay in continuity with the series. In the 3rd movie you get to see Rumpelstiscan in the Poison Apple being called Fluffypigskin by Prince Charming and he looks COMPLETELY different from his 4th movie incarnation. And I'm very sure they could have found a different fairly tale villian to be the villian in this movie.
Though don't get me wrong the movie has it's moments. shrek does learn a valuable life lesson, and gains appriciation for what he really has *spoilers* Like how much he really loves Fiona and their children, and there were some funny moments, along with that and the real 3-D just don't help make up for it. I'm sorry Dream Works, but this movie really didn't cut it for me! >_< I feel like I waited 10 bucks! I should have waited for it to come out on DVD...
If you're a big fan of Shrek I would advice to be careful when viewing this movie... It's not like the rest of them... In fact it's the worst of them in my opinion anyways. If you still want to see that's fine, but just be careful, and maybe wait for it when it's a cheaper to see like in a dollar theathe or rent it from Red Box.
That was my personal review on Shrek Forever After, my next review will be over the first 13 eps of Glee Season 1!
