Shrek the Third

You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

>No Smash Mouth
>No Bonnie Tyler cover
Why even bother releasing it?

I'm surprised Shrek 4 was as good as it was after that shit show.
>what went wrong
Arthur went wrong.

>>92875485
Justin Timberlake happened

>>92875485
I liked Merlin and Prince Charming. Not sure why so many people hate it though.

>>92875485
There wasn't a donkey-ogre baby in the background that people ignored, sort of like the Heffer baby in Rocko's Modern's Life.

They didn't make it a real "we have kids now" movie and instead focused on the whole heir thing

>>92875598
>Arthur went wrong.
>>92875607
>Justin Timberlake happened

This. They made the plot hinge on a character who wasn't funny or interesting. Just a whiny "but I'm here for teenagers to relate to" character.

It had to follow Shrek 2. This is a pretty enjoyable movie, albeit flawed, but compared to the masterpiece that is Shrek 2 it's shit

>>92875485
They shoved in babies to sell shit.

This wasn't the baby movie. Shrek 4 had the babies, this was just the "oncoming fatherhood" movie.

A few months ago I saw Shrek 2 for the first time.
It was a fucking fever dream with all those outdated 2000's references and jokes but damn was it good

>>92875713
I felt shrek 4 was more like a long episode of a series, it was made thousands of times already and didn't added something significant to it, besides being better than Shrek 3.

>>92875771
The Mexican version removed a lot of those, and put actual jokes instead.

>>92875814
Examples?

>>92875485
AB-SOL-UTE-LY

NOTHING!!!!

Shrek
2 > 1 > 3 > 4

>>92875485
Patchwork plot.

>Shrek is going to be king but doesn't like it
>Goes off to find replacement who is literally King Arthur
>Arthur is a whiny teenager who doesn't like Shrek
>They travel back home to find the kingdom has been attacked by a vengeful Prince Charming while Shrek is gone
>Also Fiona is pregnant and Shrek is nervous about becoming a father

You can tell they haphazardly slapped ideas together

>>92875713
4 was more about a mid life crisis

>Shrek 3 is 10 years old

>Justin Timberlackes whole character
>The whole thing with the school
>Taking a joke character from the 2nd movie and making him a villain even though he doesn't command respect from anyone and doesn't have any real power.
>Shreks ass backwards plan to get out of being ruler
>The whole baby sub-plot

And there's probably a few more I'm forgetting. At least they saved some of its image with Shrek Forever After.

Shit, that's almost 20 years old.

It was a mishmash of several plots with contrived interconnections and a forced ending.
>Charming is coming to usurp the throne I guess this is the plot
NO
>The King is dying and Shrek and Fiona must become royalty this is the plot
NO
>There's another heir we must find him, this is the plot
NO
>Fiona's Pregnant I guess this is the plot
NO
>The heir has highschool problems this is the plot
NO
>Merlin switched their bodies this is the plot
NO
>The Villains have wrecked Farfaraway's shit this is the plot
NO
turns out the answer was being true to yourself, unless you're an evil shit which only Charming is.

>>92876078
>Batman TAS' is old enough to drink

>>92876050
>original Shrek will be quarter-century old period piece in 3 and a half years.

>>92876129
>1990
Whoops, scratch that. It already is a period piece.

>>92876129
*fith-century

>>92876157
No, that's The Anvil Hoarder (1990)

Putting Justin Timberlake's whiny ass in it. (Despite the "Sir Justin" joke in S2) Not even Eric Idle's character could save that movie.

>>92876000
>3 > 4
How?

>>92875839
Mostly wordplay, that surely is lost in translation.
