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.

The Spectator

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.

London Evening Standard

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

Rated: 4/5

El Nuevo Herald (Miami)

A hazy melancholy result for adults and excessive abstraction for children. [Full review in Spanish]

Gone With The Twins

With this fourth entry in the series, it's clear this franchise is becoming more episodic than theatrical.

Well, this is a lowkey improvement over Shrek the Third. It was exciting to see what was going on Shrek started a family. Then things went pathetic when Shrek was wanted to do a roar of those how he used to be. Leading up to this, we have a hilarious & awesome Dreamworks antagonist, Rumplestiltskin. This is also the darkest out of the Shrek films when his deal with Stiltskin went in a terrifying turn - his memory is erased with the people he was familiar with changing for the worse. A big impact is that Shrek discovers he has a tribe who have their own talent they never knew they had. In the end, it was a daydream of Shreks. Our familiar faces lived FOREVER happily EVER AFTER.
