MOVIE REVIEW: SHREK 4: FOREVER AFTER (U)

THE REVIEW:

Shrek is back with the fourth chapter in the series. Mike Myers & Eddie Murphy make a good couple on screen and his wife Princess Fiona put off debates that an ugly man, well ogre in this matter can’t get a princess like her. Shrek in 3D looks excellent. The detail shooting out of the screen and into your face is simply amazing. This fantasy film is definitely a day out with the whole family. This fourth Shrek is not a classic as a whole but is a good enough send off to end it. The kids will have a good time as I’m sure they are Shrek fans already. Eddie Murphy’s delivery as Donkey is impressive, he was just born a funny man. I am not much of a fan of Shrek but was glad that I had the opportunity to see this as I had a great laugh and loved it. The lesson being put across in this film is that people don’t know what they have until it’s gone.

MY STAR RATINGS OUT OF 5: 3.5

ONE FAVOURITE MOMENT IN THE FILM:

A scene where Shrek is explaining to Donkey about finding his wife Princess Fiona and kissing her to break the curse of the contract in order to get back to his real life. Donkey does not understanding what Shrek is saying and thinking that he was talking to him about kissing him says to Shrek “You’re Going To Have To Take Me To Dinner First” with a sarcastic face pulled.

SYNOPSIS:
