This time Shrek the Third and I liked it. For some reason Shrek 2 didn't do much for me, sure it was funny but it didn't strike a chord.
This third installment went down a lot better but I got the feeling that most of the jokes and definitely the soundtrack were aimed at the adults rather than the littlies.
The soundtrack BTW was awesome and if possible the graphics are getting even better.
I like how the film makers have twisted familiar fairy tales to suit their own purposes, all those familiar princesses (Cinderella, Snow White etc etc) could not be any further from the Disney stereotypes that are being so heavily marketed to little girls at the moment.
And you know how they incorporate facial features of the artist doing the voice of the character into the character you see on screen? I kept looking at Arty (distant relative to Fiona) and could not place him though I recognised something about him. Turned out it was the little *bringing sexy back* dweeb himself, Justin Timberlake.
If you enjoy animations and a good laugh check this out on DVD, good but still not worth paying to see in the cinema.

2 people easily amused:
I don't mind the Shrek movies (well, I've only seen the first two). Don't think I'd ever want to own them. Still prefer Hoodwinked. God that movie makes me laugh.
And Ice Age. Love me some Ice Age.
But Hoodwinked is the best.
Just reserved a copy of Hoodwinked at the library. I missed that one altogether so glad you mentioned it.
I'll leave Shrek til later not truly loving the first 2.
DieHard 4.0 is on reserve already at the library.
