Shrek is back, and how! May 20, 2007
Posted by anishkny in Movies.trackback
Just got back from Shrek III. I was a bit anxious about it after reading a few lukewarm reviews. But the anxiety only caused my expectations to be lowered, and I enjoyed the movie a lot. I was pleasently surprised by the first Shrek movie when it came out (way back when I was still back in India). Despite all bad reviews, the Third on, IMHO, does not disappoint. The writing is crisp, and even though the story is confined by the Hollywood three act structure, it does have its charm. In true Shrek praxis, the damsel in distress construct is subverted with gleeful panache, and we see Shrek being saved by the bra-burning power girl group led by Fiona.
A star studded voice over cast, including the usual Myers-Diaz-Murphy, and even Justin Timberlake do not disappoint. The Shrek Vs. Million Babies dream sequence, and the Prince Artie breakdown scene are hilarious.
Overall a romping good watch… 3.5 stars.
hmm…you liked it,too??? now i have to see the movie – its tough to actually impress yuou, isnt it?
