Shrek 3 loosely follows the plotline from the animated movie with the same title. If you’ve played any number of arcade action games (previous Shrek games included) then you have a solid idea on what to expect here. Shrek 3 walks the middle line, offering little novelty in its arcade presentation. It's just disappointing when such an average film continues a series of such good ones.Movie to game transitions are nothing new, but since most of the them are average (at best) or god awful (at worst), you can’t help feel a little cynical about them. At various points in the evening, the pace was surprisingly ponderous. I guess the franchise is so important now that it must be handled by two directors, neither of whom has Adamson's knack for timing. Andrew Adamson directed the previous two Shreks and has one of the writing credits here, but he did not direct it.
The result comes across as a 3rd or 4th draft.
And the dialog with some exceptions, is full of the clichés they so happily lampooned in earlier Shreks. Let's put in some stuff for Fiona and Lillian here." The result is that there's a script, but no real story. You can almost see the writers thinking, "Okay, now we've got a bunch of stuff for Shrek, Donkey, and Puss to do. The story is loaded down with so many different elements that it is impossible to develop any of them. And that's the problem with this entire movie. I figure he was either exhausted, or under contract, as opposed to being inspired. "In which we live in"? Was he kidding? A great talent, but that is some lazy songwriting. In the song he actually wrote this line: "But if in this ever changing world in which we live in". The song is used briefly in Dreamworks' latest outing for everyone's favorite Scots ogre. Take for example the song, "Live and Let Die", a song he wrote in the '70s for a Bond movie of the same name.
