SHREK THE THIRD

http://www.shrek.com/main.html
plot : Charming ogre fears baby bump.
thought : Pixar triplets are the cutest.

I know I haven't yet seen DIE HARD : LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD, nor HARRY POTTER : ORDER OF THE PHOENIX, but since those are actually 4ths and 5ths, respectively, I think it's fair to make the assumption that no other summer movie is going to tackle the giant that is SHREK THE THIRD. The only trilogy thus far, as I care to notice, that has maintaned its fantastic original pacing and humor all along its series, SHREK THE THIRD sees, of course, our familiar characters in their familiar antics doing familiar things...oh, but with a bit of a new plot ! Shrek's wife is gonna have a baby ! Meaning beautiful women who are now ogres can get pregnant, answering one of the great mysteries of motherhood. Ooh, and added bonus : Justin TIMBERLAKE is the voice of young Prince Artie. Weee, we love him. And by "we," I mean "I."

The jokes slant more towards physical humor than the verbal is this instillation, but the music is great (the "wait for it" moment : being hypnotised by Damian Rice's "9 Crimes"), the female roles still kick some serious arse (the "wait for it" : Snow White attacking the royal guards) and The Gingerbread Man does not disappoint. I would've liked to see another thong on Pinnochio, however.

Overall rating : 4/5
