Shrek Forever After

Don't understand the negativity. Each and every Shrek is outstanding, including this one. Do the Roar, lol

So many beautiful moments and Rimpelstiltskin is an amazing villain.

Really wonder what Shrek 5 will be about! I guess we should see Artie again and I think it would be cool to see Prince Charming again in a small role.

I used to be a Shrek 1 and 2 lover but after seeing this one a few more times over the holidays I really love this one as well, it is up there w 1 and 2 definitely, I especially loved the ending it was v wholesome!

After watching Schafrillas Productions video on this film I was convinced to give this movie a second chance, and let's just say it's way better than people seem to think it is. This movie, unlike the third, has real heart and soul, a message it wants to get across and it does so brilliantly. The villain was fun, the alternate universe was cliche but intentionally so, and Shrek gets his most interesting character arc since the second film. I unironically consider this movie incredible and comparable to other Dreamworks classics like How to Train Your Dragon and Kung Fu Panda.

Much darker in tone than the previous Shrek films, this one is clearly challenging Frank Capra's Christmas classic It's a Wonderful Life as it sees Shrek looking at a world where he had never been born. As with Capra's film, it sees protagonist yearning for everything he left behind, a life which was previously leading to a sense of ennui and a very, very short fuse.

The tonal shift is welcome following the third instalment in the Shrek series this one seems more introspective and soulful than the films which succeeded because they were comedic riffs on traditional fairy tales and movie tropes.

The tone is reflected in the aesthetics, so the film is visually darker, but still has superb animation and, again, a brilliant cast to lend their characters their vocal talents to great effect.

Very funny and WAY better than "Shrek 3", even though the "Be Careful What You Are Wishing For"-theme is a little washed out...

This fourth movie buys the franchise a bit back after the weak third part. Not quite as strong as the first two but way better than the third. Good entertainment.

Watched again 13 years after the premiere and it's not bad. At times, the graphics are a bit off-putting with their bad shapes.

Shrek Forever After is like when you go back for another plate of food even though you’re already full. It’s not bad, but you can tell they were kinda running out of ideas.

The whole “what if Shrek never existed” thing is cool, and Rumpelstiltskin is actually a solid villain, but the vibe isn’t the same as the first two movies. It feels darker, more serious, which is weird for a Shrek film.

Still, it’s fun seeing Shrek and Fiona team up again, and Donkey and Puss always save the day with jokes. 7/10. Decent, but definitely not the Shrek you quote with your friends all day.
