base talk Why is Shrek 3 so disliked?

[Aethereal]

I never knew it was SO disliked.  The movie remains unbothered with 800M box office and an additional 170M earning from CD sales.

 

It was not as good Shrek 1 and Shrek 2 but still. 

Shrek 4 was horrible though. 

[Roman Holiday]

Because even at 10, I knew it was a steep decline from Shrek 2. I laughed so much when I saw Shrek 1 and 2, but I remember hating Shrek 3 and leaving disappointed 

[Blackout2006]

It was cute (I remember owning the CD as well ).I never knew it was hated 

[hallucinate]

maybe it was a decline from the second movie? personally i love the movie

Did you like Shrek 4? I mean it was worse than 3. I was even more surprised that 4 was considered an upgrade from 3.  

[sugarysunflower]

It got too complicated with too many overlapping storylines and too many characters. 

[Rotunda]

I remember disliking it as a kid,  I think because I didn’t care for the Arthur dude or whatever, and cause nothing will touch Shrek 2, but it honestly isn’t bad.

[RihFenty20]

Because it was bad. 2 > 4 > 1 >>>>>>> 3.

No I’ve never seen it. I aged out by that point and don’t really have a desire to ever watch another Shrek project other than 1 and 2.

[UseYourIllusion2002]

I like it lol, I rewatched it last year but maybe that’s because I was in HS so I liked them having one in the movie. It’s far better than Shrek 4

[Ferret]

What? I love it . Didn’t know it was disliked 

[Mr. Blue_Shirt]

Because it was a cheap rip-off of the previous 2 films

[Just a Gay on ATRL]

The scene with the princesses and the Led Zeppelin music is the only scene I remember 

[greento]

I prefer it to shrek 1 and 4 but it’s not as good as 2. I find it to be the funniest one tho, I really dont get the hate

It is TRASH and its still TRASH. The whole movie made me want to sleep as a kid. 

Did you see Shrek 4?  If so did you like it?

 

[Badgalbriel]

Which one is the third? The worst, for me, is the one with Rumpelsistinks. The best is the first one. The other I don't like much is the one Shrek meets Fiona's parents and becomes a human.

The third ones is with the princesses. The worst one you mentioned is the 4th. And I agree with you. 

[XxxKatyCatxxX]

I've watched all four movies with my nephew and he likes all of them. Me too. So, I don't know. People are hard to please sometimes. 

[Jotham]

It felt so corny compared to the last two movies. Also the babies were really annoying.

[EtherealCat]

because shrek 2 is one of the best sequels ever made and shrek 3 is just ok

Jk the princesses were iconic though

 

 

[Devon]

No Fairy God Mother, no acclaim

 

 

[TheBoss]

I prefer 4th to the 3rd tbh, and no shade for the original will be tolerated

This tho

[UnusualBoy]

Timberlake his power!

 

Anyway, it was just ok but a downgrade for the other 2, the 4th is the messiest one.

[smholiv]

its not as funny or interesting as the first two so it was just a noticeable decline

 

also the new characters were annoying or useless, especially Arthur... it was hard to bring myself to care about his storyline when he has nothing to offer
