Majikat Possibly one too many Shrek installments, should've stopped at three, but is still worthy of a watch. It seems to go off on a sideways tangent, which has a moral, but doesn't quite fit with the others.

slightlymad22 Shrek Forever After I was hoping this movie, would restore the franchise to its former glory, and go out in the right way, but if Shrek The Third ran the franchise into the ground, Shrek Forever After buries it's, and plants the headstone!!I didn't like Shrek The Third, claiming it lacked the brilliance and charm of the first two movies, and sadly this is just as bad. I was actually bored again, despite the whole It's A Wonderful Life thing. The first two movies entertained adults and kids, the last two were just awful to sit through.One again Murphy is pushed in to the background, and once again I say it's to the movie's detriment. This was billed as the last Shrek movie during its promotional run and release, but the movie does not end things right on any level!! See Toy Story 3 for how to do that in a kids movie!! Shrek Forever After was the worst performing movie in the franchise. Grossing $238 million at the domestic box office to end the year the 8th highest grossing movie of the year. Still not bad numbers though.

Oliver Thatcher Watson This film is really good. It has great CGI, voice acting, and a story that's actually pretty great, even though it can get stale at some points. This film is hilarious, and a great comeback from the 3rd movie. The reason I say that is because the 3rd film, while it was still great, had a lot of flaws. However, this film gets back on the right track. Though this film isn't as amazing as the first 2 films, it shows a lot of promise for future possible Shrek films. I will be honest and say that the story of this film can feel a little bit stale. But besides that, it's still pretty great. I think this film fits perfectly in the Shrek film series. I was pleasantly surprised and I recommend it to anyone who likes Shrek.

KineticSeoul After the third installment that just wasn't nearly good as the first 2. Now comes a 4th installment that doesn't add much to the franchise, despite it being the final chapter in the Shrek story. There is no charm or wits to this one. It's like they rand out of ideas and now resorting to the what if scenario. They just don't show the after after forever ever after for a reason. I know it tries to delve into the reality of these stories, but this just falls flat. I was just bored with this one. It's like the failed 3rd installment, they just tried to make it up and finish the story. This is a franchise that had a strong start and just went downhill from there. It's another watchable CGI animated movie, but easily forgettable. And lacked the charm and substance to make it memorable. It's a movie worth watching to finish up the journey though, even if it ends weak. Well at least they tried to finish with at least something somewhat passable. I give this movie a 6 and that is being generous. It doesn't necessarily completely end with a whimper, but it came pretty darn close to that travesty.6/10
