3 minute movie review - Transfo- Oh, ok. Shrek 3 *Pssh*

Last Saturday, once the Silverkey Demo Day was wrapped up, the need for action and explosions ran strong. After Chili's and a trip to an ahwa for delicious juices, Nisrin, Taher, Dody and I skedaddled to the movies to rock some tasty robots-in-disguise action... only to find that two seats remained. Bastards. We settled on Shrek 3 as a back up; essence of which can be summed up thusly (SPOILERS):

- Excellent montage involving the Gingerbread man
- Eric Idle is the go-to guy if you need an eccentric Englishman in your movie
- Donkey is kinda getting annoying now.

Ultimately it was basically the same movie as Shrek 1: Shrek goes on a journey to find [character] and bring them to [place]. On the way back they argue a lot and get attacked by [well-known fictional character], but end up liking each other. Shrek says something to upset [character] and they go their separate ways. Everyone gets together at the end and everyone likes Shrek now. [Antagonist] is killed by the dragon. Hilarious ending ensues.

Sadly the movie suffered from a lack of new ideas and giant transforming robots that knock the shit out of each other, and as such I rate this movie: "Meh".

Shrek 3 featured Amy Poehler (as Snow White)not to mention three of the other hawt SNL ladies, and therefore won by default.

No...wait, I'm just being overly sapphic. Ignore me. I am highly inclined to agree with your postulation that it's essentially the same movie as the first movie, however, you missed off one key element; Higher Profile Guest Stars.

Here's hoping that Shrek 4 basically centres around the princesses. Booyah.
