Description of Shrek The Third (Full Screen Edition):
It's not easy being an ogre, but Shrek finds it doubly difficult for an ogre like himself to fill in for a king when his father-in-law King Harold of Far, Far Away falls ill in this third Shrek movie. Shrek's attempts to fulfill his kingly duties play like a blooper reel, with boat christenings and knighting ceremonies gone terribly wrong, and to say that Shrek (Mike Myers) is insecure about his new role is a gross understatement. When King Harold (John Cleese) passes away, Shrek sets out with Donkey (Eddie Murphy) and Puss-in-Boots (Antonio Banderas) to find Arthur (Justin Timberlake), the only heir in line for the throne besides himself. Just as Shrek sets sail to find Artie (as Arthur is more commonly known), Fiona (Cameron Diaz) shocks Shrek with the news that she's pregnant. Soon after, Prince Charming (Rupert Everett) sends Captain Hook (Ian McShane) in pursuit of Shrek and imprisons Fiona and her fellow Princesses as part of his plan to install himself as King of Far, Far Away. Shrek finds an awkward Artie jousting with his high school classmate Lancelot (John Krasinski) and, while Artie is certainly no picture of kingliness, Shrek is determined to drag him back to Far, Far Away to assume the throne. Mishaps and comedy abound, including a spell gone wrong that locks Donkey and Puss-in-Boots inside one another's bodies. While Fiona and the other Princesses prove they're anything but helpless women, Artie and Shrek battle their own fears of inadequacy in a struggle to discover their own self-worth. In the end, Shrek, Artie, and Fiona each learn a lot about their individual strengths and what truly makes each of them happy. Of course, it's the pervasive humor and wit that make Shrek the Third so side-splittingly appealing. Rated PG for some crude and suggestive humor, but appropriate for most families with children ages 6 and older. --Tami Horiuchi

Shrek The Third (Full Screen Edition) Reviews:
Wow this one sucked, total money machine stuff, Please no 4!! 
2008-08-12 - Wow I was surprised at how fast this series went down hill, clearly they should have ended it at 3 because most franchises just go WAY down hill after that and this one looks to do the same if they do come out with the money grab #4. The story is so uninspiring and weak I had a hard time even watching the whole movie, the cliche busting jokes and the overall creativity of the series are just not there anymore or just not that funny. I mean come on just end it with a bang, not this wimper leading to another ogre swamp of a fourth. Shrek is only for 14 and below screamers now, unfortunately it'll still make money from kids keeping the drivel like #3 alive.
I always have such a hard time with these movies and their populist feel good family loving slant being "acted" by people who are just the opposite making millions for 45 minutes of work and are not that good at it. Time to dump this franchise and see Ratatouille or Wall-E or Dark Knight or any other of the way too many films coming out. Glad this was just a Netflix movie so there was almost no cost to see it.
The worst Dreamworks animated movie
2008-08-04 - Dreamworks is not a company known by its great plots in 3D animation, but this time they forgot something that Pixar has as the first important thing in a movie: a great plot.
The story is unsustainable, the main character becomes lost in his own characteristics, the situations has no justification and becomes a bunch of scenes without continuity and nonsense.
The princess are capable to destroy stone walls with his head, but are not capable to defeat the castle guards (just as an example).
Avoid purchasing this movie in any format available, this not worth the money you can spend on it, is not good even for rent. Only watch it if someone lend it to you and also you want to throw away your precious time.
Great 
2008-07-20 - On time delivery with the lowest price for a brand new DVD and on top of that I got a limited edition gift package which I didn't even expected - that was very nice and made me very happy!
waste of money and time
2008-07-09 - They should have never made this one. What were they thinking except to make more money on the reputation of the previous 2. It is dull, badly written and boring. Without some of the cleverness of the original and interesting plot of both 1 and 2. The animation is, of course, wonderful. I hope when they get around to the one staring Puss they will improve.
The great Shrek empire 
2008-06-23 - I am not a kid but I loved this movie. Truely I loved them all. Who is more sensible than Shrek? Who is sexier than Fiona? Who is more hard headed than her mom? There are so many subtle themes running through the movies. My fav charactor is Gingy. Always watch the credits, some funny stuff there.
