Amazon.co.uk Review
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 humour and wit that make Shrek 3 so side-splittingly appealing. --Tami Horiuchi

what a load of rubbish
I loved the 1st film, enjoyed the 2nd and really hated the 3rd. Arthur was annoying (don't get me started on Merlin) and the plot was so lame it should be shot. They should have stayed with 2 films instead of trying to milk every last penny they could.

MIKE MYERS PLEASE SAY NO!!!!
First of all the Shrek 1&2 were outstanding top class viewing for the whole family. The third outing with Shrek was poor it just didn't make you laugh at all. I can't work out what went wrong here they had everything in place to make you laugh but it didn't it's as simple as that. I hope they sit around the table reading these reviews and decide to quit while they are ahead and not make a fourth some how I think they will who can blame them money makes the world go around.

Shrek the Turd
This is definitely one of the worst films i've ever paid money to see. I think it's about time Dreamworks and Pixar stop churning out these souless computer animated rehashes. With a completely absent storyline and jokes that come few and far between even small children will find it hard to enjoy this mindless monstrosity.
