Laughed twice during Shrek the Third. Once was a sneeze.

Shrek the Third put every joke in the trailer and then dared us to sit through the rest.

The science in Shrek the Third has the same relationship to physics that I have to going to the gym: aspirational.

Shrek the Third is what happens when a writers' room confuses "ambiguous" with "didn't finish the draft".

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Shrek the Third actually is?

Just got out of Shrek the Third and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

[Serious Discussion] Is anyone else completely checked out by the pacing in Shrek the Third?

Rewatched Shrek the Third last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

Unpopular opinion: Shrek the Third is the most overrated film of the decade

Director clearly thought Shrek the Third was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.
