This is the most visually impressive Shrek yet. It's also the least inspired.

Computer-generated animated movies with wall-to-wall jokes can be excruciating, but these jokes are the funniest money can buy.

A shame it lacks the smart sassiness of its predecessors. Time to call time, we think.

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

Apart from some modestly amusing princess shtick and a pleasantly slapsticky opening, there's no real reason for anyone over the age of 11 to see this one.
