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

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.

Rated: 6/10

An improvement from the atrocious third movie, but just a rinse and repeat theme. How many stories can you drag out from the same character? While I was excited about the Shrek 5 announcement after the marvel of The Last Wish, this reminds me why the Shrek series was supposed to have concluded. Oh and once again Fiona sacrifices a part of herself so Shrek can get his fairytale ending, the messaging is on par with older disney movies. Trash. Not as bad as 2 and 3 were with it, but still there all the same.
