Why is Shrek 3 so disliked?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Saw this opening weekend and LOVED it, then I rewatched the whole series last year and realized it truly is the worst one. It just generally lacks the laughs & entertainment value the first 2 had, like there were really some boring parts in there while 1 & 2 are non-stop fun. The 4th movie is okay.

Shrek 3 is better than Shrek 2. The second movie drags and the whole Prince Charming storyline was so boring.

The jokes were definitely much lamer compared to the great writing in 1 and 2. And the "connections with real life" got a little too larger than life, IMO; like the writers 'knew what they were doing' a little too much (whereas the first two were still fantastic stories that weren't playing into themselves/their stereotypes too much). IDK if that makes sense .  

 

It's still great to me, really really good and compelling. LOVE it.

Here's why

 

 

It's just not as heartfelt as first two movies, Charming is not really a good main villain, jokes are more cheap and lame, Shrek's character development isn't as huge. There's a reason why Shrek Forever After ignores the events of Shrek 3

Not me finding out there Shrek 4 exists because of this thread

There was a drop in 3 from 2 that’s only because 2 as the best in the series. Honestly I like 3 more than 4. I always hated the last one

Was it hated? really? i enjoyed it

The bad reviews kinda turned me off, so I didn't feel like watching tbh.

 

But do people really think 2 is better than 1? That's wild. At least Metacritic disagrees.

didn't know it was panned i still like it - the princesses are the best part of the film

i guess that makes it the Born this Way of the franchise, following their Fame+Monster and well you know what that makes the 4th one

The way I genuinely don’t remember it :deadbanana2:

 

ot: well it was a massive downgrade from 2 but I feel like 2 was so so memorable and iconic from Puss to Fairy Godmother etc

Posted

I have never seen any of theses films. I just remember one of the characters looking like Candace Owens:rip:

Posted

Shrek 1&2 are both cinematic masterpieces, 3&4 are awful and shouldn’t exist

Posted

It was fine but a major letdown compared to the fantastic second movie. The princesses part is a classic though.

Posted

The third is probably the best imo

it was awful, no funny jokes, no redeeming qualities, no good villian, fiona didnt have almost any screentime. downright awful movie. 4 on the other hand is underrated.

the fact the funniest thing to come out from S3 was this meme and its not even from the movie
