Starring: Mike Myer, Eddie Murphy, Cameron DiazShrek, after becoming a domesticated father and husband, realises he misses being the scary ogre he once was. The villagers no longer fear him and he dreams of times past when people ran from him and left him alone in his muddy swamp. Rumplestiltskin, ever the opportunist, overhears Shrek's grumblings and offers to give him one day as his old scary ogre self in return for one day of Shrek's past. Shrek agrees only to find out he has been duped and that he must battle the odds to defeat Rumplestiltskin and regain his one true love.
I wasn't sure if I would know what was going on in this, the fourth, installment of the Shrek series since I hadn't seen Shrek The Third. My neice brought me up to speed in two concise sentences in the way only an eight year old can. Feeling I knew exactly what was going on our party headed in to watch Shrek Forever After in 3D.
All the Shrek characters we love are still there only things are a little different because Shrek is unknown to them. This means we get to see him make friends and fall in love all over again which was such a draw card for the first and second movies in my opinion. Rumplestiltskin, however, steals the show. He is a great character, wonderfully animated, and strange enough to be both scary and interesting. Look out for his collection of wigs.
I'm not sure how much the 3D really enhanced the viewing and I don't think much would be lost from the movie without it. The story hums along nicely with enough interesting twists to the old characters to keep you watching.
A good installment that, if you are a Shrek fan, should not be missed.
7.5/10 - Kim
