Shrek the Third (English, 2007)

Murder! Sacrilege! Crime!

The whole point in Shrek was its originality, its inherent "different from the normal lore" stuff, an intelligent spoof on fairy tales. Shrek 3 commits the same crime that Shrek started making fun of - of being repetitive, unoriginal and just trying to cash on the existing popularity.

Shrek 3 adds more fairy tale characters to the storyline, gets Fiona pregnant and has Shrek coming to terms with impending fatherhood while trying to search for a successor to the throne of Far Far Away and thwarting Prince Charming's evil plans.

If you have not seen any of the Shrek movies, then you may like this one. It does have the same ingredients that the franchise has had till now. However, if you have tasted this dish before, the feeling is of having the same food again and again and again.

Recommendation - Avoid
