Shrek The Third

I find most animated films tedious. They play for the children and if one is lucky you might get a shout out to the adults in the crowd. This was why the original Shrek was a bit better than the average. It had numerous adult centered jokes going. It wasn't fantastic but it had some truly funny moments. Shrek 2 was a painful reminder of why Hollywood really will exploit and destroy anything it gets its grubby hands on. Shrek The Third was mind numbingly boring.

In the third installment, Shrek (Mike Meyers) is set to become king of Far Far Away. He doesn't want to be king so he seeks out the only remaining heir, Artie (Justin Timberlake). Meanwhile Prince Charming plots revenge with all the other villains and Shrek must save the day. Aside from being virtually the same plot as equally bad Happily N'Ever After it is still a bad plot. The jokes thrown at the adults this time are very strained and it falls into a more traditionally bad children's animated feature.
