When his new father-in-law, **King Harold**(frog king) falls ill, **Shrek** is looked at
as the heir to the land of **Far, Far Away**. Not one to give up his
beloved swamp, **Shrek** recruits his friends **Donkey** and **Puss in Boots **to
install the rebellious **Artie**(the young King Arthur) as the new king. **Princess Fiona**, however,
rallies a band of **royal girlfriends**(similar to Charlie’s Angels) to fend off a coup d’etat by the
jilted **Prince Charming**.
Lets start with the **cons**. they are:
1> **Same old** characters(except for one), with no new dimensions;
2> Most of the jokes used in this edition are **re-runs** from the first two;
3> **Same old** setting, with not much change in background;
4> **Weak plot**, with flimsy ending;
5> **Justin Timberlake** as the voice of a young King Arthur? Help! What is the sense in having a spoilt American brat play the part of the most renowned English hero? They could atleast have given Artie a british accent.
However, the **pros** are:
1> **Antonio Banderas**(he just needs to be in a movie to make it worth watching. whoever has watched this movie waits wih baited breath for **Puss in boots** to say anything);
2> **Eddie Murphy **(Donkey);
In short, this movie is not really worth watching on its own. It’s only worth watching if you’ve seen the first two, and want to fulfill the formality of having seen all 3.
Happy Watching!
