Shrek
is
back
this
time
in
3-D.
While
some
might
call
it
an
unwelcome
thing
feeling
that
the
oversized
green
ogre
has
already
overstayed
his
welcome
with
feckless
second
and
third
chapters.
But
for
many,
this
fourth
installment
of
the
Shrek
franchise
will
be
an
extremely
entertaining
enterprise
as
this
one
is
not
only
smart,
imaginative
but
also
an
exceptionally
hilarious
sequel
that
wraps
up
the
series.
In
this
film,
Shrek
(Mike
Myers)
is
feeling
the
pressures
of
fatherhood
and
the
mundane
nature
of
daily
life
and
his
marriage
with
Princess
Fiona
(Cameron
Diaz).
He
longs
for
his
days
as
a
bachelor
ogre.
When
Rumpelstiltskin
(Walt
Dohrn)
comes
into
his
life
and
offers
him
a
deal
to
relive
his
bachelorhood,
Shrek
takes
the
bait.
This
sets
into
motion
a
sequence
of
events
in
which
Shrek
never
existed
and
Rumpelstiltskin
becomes
the
king
of
Far
Far
Away.
It"s
up
to
Shrek
to
fix
the
past
so
he
can
fix
the
future.
The
fourth
and
final
installment
of
the
Shrek
series
has
a
tremendous
amount
of
heart.
Writers
Klausner
and
Lemke
have
been
able
to
capture
the
spirit
and
warmth
that
made
the
first
two
movies
so
wonderful,
and
if
Shrek's
journey
doesn't
get
you
feeling
a
little
emotional,
then
you
have
to
be
lying
to
yourself.
The
action
scenes
are
well
shot
and
fast
paced,
and
the
imagery
is
further
enhanced
by
the
crisp
and
vivid
animation,
which
absolutely
pops
in
3-D.
And
although
not
all
of
the
humor
hits
the
mark
(the
dancing
scenes
with
the
Pied
Piper
are
a
bit
tacky),
enough
of
it
works
that
it
shouldn't
bring
back
those
bad
memories
of
“Shrek
the
Third."
And
there's
not
enough
you
can
say
about
remarkable
voice
talents
of
Myers,
Diaz,
Murphy
and
Banderas,
who
have
settled
nicely
into
their
roles.
Dohrn
is
also
equally
impressive
as
the
unpredictable
Rumpelstiltskin.
These
actors
really
bring
their
characters
to
life,
which
makes
it
so
much
easier
to
lose
yourself
and
be
immersed
by
the
narrative.
After
a
disappointing
third
outing,
this
"Shrek" brings
the
cycle
of
fairy-tale-themed
films
to
a
fine
finish.
