Critics Consensus

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

Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express [Shrek Forever After] is a satisfactory way to end the series. Rated: 3/5 Apr 16, 2019 Full Review Deborah Ross 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. Aug 30, 2018 Full Review Andrew O'Hagan 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 Jul 8, 2010 Full Review Ezequiel Boetti EscribiendoCine The ending deserved a better film. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 2/10 Nov 16, 2025 Full Review Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) A hazy melancholy result for adults and excessive abstraction for children. [Full review in Spanish] Jul 15, 2022 Full Review Andrea Hubert NME (New Musical Express) Fourth time isn't the charm. Rated: 2.5/5 May 19, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Joao vitor L A comedy mixed with a bit of drama, honestly I loved it. It was one of the best movies I've ever seen in my life, great to watch with the family. I loved it, but contradictorily, some parts confused me. For example, when there's the deal with the guy with the wig, and we only find out halfway through the movie. I loved it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/12/25 Full Review geovanny p Pra mim fecha a franquia com chave de ouro ,é engraçado e emocionante do jeito ideal que um último filme do shrek deveria ser !!! 🤩 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/09/25 Full Review Pedro Henrique C Shrek Forever After (2010) is a rather disappointing film. I honestly think there shouldn't be a fourth Shrek movie; I'm sure the fifth one will be awful. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/05/25 Full Review Lukas G An improvement over 3. It tries to get back to the heart of the first 2, and... kind of succeeds? Not as good, but still a fine conclusion. The story is deep and emotional, love the medieval vibe in it. Though the alternate reality thing is not that great, because Fiona's growth in 4 is just completely erased after Shrek gets back. Those characters we were with the whole film are just... gone. Overall, it's fine. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/03/25 Full Review Rafael S Great movie, it's very well written and conveys a very good message! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/29/25 Full Review Logan G. Shrek Forever After is just as funny as the first three and has a good plot and villain. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/24/25 Full Review Read all reviews
