Critics Consensus

Shrek the Third has pop culture potshots galore, but at the expense of the heart, charm, and wit that made the first two Shreks classics.

Deborah Ross

The Spectator

The first two movies had heart, charm, wit, originality, parfait and, most unusually for an animation, characters you could properly care about. This, though, has very little of any of the above, and it breaks my heart.

This is a very skillfully made corporate product, but I wonder who, exactly, will be fully satisfied.

On this evidence, thrice is definitely enough.

Film Frenzy

Both the donkey and the kitty have largely been neutered, and the film’s makers didn’t bother to introduce any compelling new characters to pick up the slack.

Rated: 2/4

Technically and visually, the Shrek features continue to advance.

A satisfying sequel that has its charm but isn't quite up to par with its predecessors.

Rated: B

Shrek the Third brings more fairy tale fun and quirky humour, though it’s a bit lighter on the heart of the first two films. Still, it’s an entertaining ride with lovable characters and silly adventures.

66%. 9/28/25. Not nearly as good as the first two. The writing for Donkey and Puss isn't nearly as good. Pretty boring story. Didn't bring out the best of the characters. 1/5 rewatch

I love all the shrek movies! They all just go together so well! They’re all so cute, sentimental with the perfect amount of comedy and the hidden adult humor tops it off.
