A new fresh outlook for my new bloggie :D okok .. it might looked abit childish....but who CARES!! I love SHREK~!! ( i aint gay ok.. ) but i love the 3d cartoon animation and almost real-life combat too :X
The Movie is so nice and farney. The only cartoon made me laugh out loud. This movie setting was nice just like harry porter and LOTR. They have the right sequence and continuous movie without any gap. Here's a bit synopsis of this movie :-
How many writers does it take to create a Hollywood blockbuster? In the case of Shrek the Third, the last ship in this summer’s armada of trilogies, the answer is seven. That’s right, it took seven writers, all working to maximum capacity, to breathe life into the latest animated adventures of this foul-smelling, dirt-dwelling green ogre. Early on, though, what becomes apparent is that the plot was fumbled and dropped. It is lost for ever, I presume, at the bottom of Shrek’s swamp.
At the start of Shrek the Third we discover that Princess Fiona’s father, the frog King (voiced by John Cleese), is dying. His final request is to ask Shrek (Mike Myers) to become King of Far, Far Away. Shrek, who wants nothing more than to return to his swamp with Fiona (Cameron Diaz) and raise baby ogres, decides to find a replacement king. With only his friends Donkey (Eddie Murphy) and Puss in Boots (Antonio Banderas), reprising their roles from Shrek and Shrek 2, to keep him company, our Scottish giant goes in search of Fiona’s cousin, Artie (Justin Timberlake).
As the trio try to persuade Artie to leave his boarding school and return to Far, Far Away, Princess Fiona attempts to head off a coup staged by the arch-loser Prince Charming (Rupert Everett).
Probably the most charming creation in the first Shrek film, which was directed by Andrew Adamson and released in 2001, was Mike Myers’s wonderfully anxious Scottish accent. He had a foul temper which, to this reviewer, conjured up ancient memories of drunks jousting with beer cans in central Glasgow on a Friday night. The accent, much like all the other quirks from the original movie, has been toned down this time around. In the hands of a new directing team, Chris Miller and Raman Hui, Myers now sounds more Edinburgh Royal Mile than Glasgow Sauchiehall Street. Similarly, the message of the original Shrek – the celebration of individualism and the refusal to conform – is also weaker in Shrek the Third. These days, Shrek, much like the rest of us, simply yearns for the easy life, online shopping and better public transport.
For the audience, what this means, of course, is that Shrek is no longer terrifying. Nor does he provide an escape. Ever since the film-makers Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack first took on King Kong in 1933, directors have attempted to ravish our senses with hideous beasts masking inner charm. Films such as Gremlins spring to mind, although few have succeeded as wildly as Tim Burton with Edward Scissorhands in 1990.
Shrek the Third may not provide a Universe as grotesque as that of recent movies such as Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End or Spider-Man 3, but nor does it provide the ethereal beauty of ET. The latter, it should be noted, was the creation of just one writer.
