Shrek The Third (3)

What a shame, what a disappointment. I enjoyed the first, the second wasn't bad but this third was exceedingly contrived including the jokes, the music and the story. I can only rate it a 3 (I had force myself to watch it).

Shrek does not want to be the next king of Far Far Away, so he along with Puss and Donkey go off to the find in line, Arther. Yes, they mangled some King Aurthur with Lancelot and Merlin into the plot. Prince Charming wants to be king so he rounds all the other storybook baddies and captures Shrek to kill him. Fiona and her princess friends are on the rescue mission! It has the moral message at the end "don't judge yourself"

This is best watched with your young kids so that at least you could enjoy them enjoying it. Probably the only thing that impressed was the animation - simply stunning. Unfortunately, few jokes made me smile, and often the music jarred. It would be hard, though not inconceivable, to make a forth that is even worse.
