Shrek The Third

Geez... I am SO bad. I haven't updated my blog in aaaaaages, yet I have watched plenty of films!

So... the first in my backlog of films is Shrek The Third, the most recent in the Shrek series.

It's definitely not "The Best Shrek Yet" but it was still really enjoyable. The plot revolves around Shrek as he sets out to find the new king of Far Far Away.

Justin Timberlake is actually really good as Artie. I wasn't sure what to think when I heard he would be providing a voice in Shrek, but he really pulls it off. Artie comes across as quite an endearing character. My favourite "new" character though, has to be Merlin, voiced by Eric Idle. Just super. The funniest moments in the whole film revolve around him.

There are plenty of funny moments, but overall, it's just not as good as the first two in the series. I know there's another Shrek film in the works, but I just can't see what else they can do... every fairytale seems to have been covered already. Ah well... I'll just have to wait and see.

Worth a watch though. :)
