Critics Consensus

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

The Indian Express

[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.

Rated: 6/10

Shrek Forever After gives the series a heartfelt farewell. Love it that It balances humour and emotion nicely, making for a satisfying conclusion to the saga. Hopefully the next one will not disappoint.

Eu não gosto de "Shrek Para Sempre: O Capítulo Final" porque é horrível! O Roteiro é bagunçado, personagens sem graça, dublagem: mais ou menos! Filme Horrenda! Não faz sentido o filme! Obs. Ele é pior que "Shrek Terceiro". "Shrek Terceiro" é mais legalzinho.

I thought Shrek was a kid’s movie, it isn’t inappropriate but can bore a child to death. It was way too serious. And I laughed twice in the whole movie.
