What to Know

Critics Consensus

While not without its moments, Shrek Forever After too often feels like a rote rehashing of the franchise's earlier entries.

[Shrek Forever After] is a satisfactory way to end the series. Go to Full Review
Deborah Ross The Spectator 08/30/2018
The rot set in with the third film, I think, and now, with the fourth, it's decomposed and gone to that black sludge you get at the bottom of the bin. Go to Full Review

The movie is a family drama about the family drama, so on every available level it works a treat. Go to Full Review

Kristy K @Kristyakra 2d Love the story line, love the alternative take of Shrek and Fiona’s love story!! The coloring is very beautiful, I enjoy the details - like the sky changing colors throughout the film and the fire during the night! 15 years later and I am beyond excited for the next movie to come out to continue the story !! See more Jacob B @JacobTheCritic Dec 31 I get why it recieved middling reviews as most of the humor that made the first two movies classics is gone or at least dragged down to Earth, but, as someone who watched Shrek movies for their deep meanings and emotional cores, this movie is without a doubt another hit for the green ogre. There are so many sweet moments scattered throughout, of which I refuse to spoil, and it WAS a great way to end the franchise on a high note (Cheers, Illumination, but we really didn't need a low budget fifth entry with Zendaya in it) and I personally would say that on some things, like the aforementioned emotional moments and ESPECIALLY the animation quality, it ends on a higher note than it began. So, if you're okay with less laughs being present, I would most definitely give this one a watch, and also skip Shrek 3, you're welcome!

It is a massive improvement from its predecessor and a genuine competitor for best movie in the franchise. It’s the most emotional and serious movie out of the four, with some light-hearted and humorous moments sprinkled in. This movie is a must-watch for teens/adults, just like the first and second. See more Miguel C @Miguel3110 Dec 4 Shrek Para Sempre não respeita a franquia, trazendo um roteiro de viagem no tempo nunca mencionado em outros filmes e um vilão que não tem nada a ver com a franquia. Mistura histórias que fazem o filme nem parecer fazer parte da franquia. See more Read all reviews
