You're Not Getting a Shrek 4 Review!

Why not, you ask? Because I have absolutely no intention of seeing the film. It's been a while since I sat down to watch a Shrek movie, and the overwhelming reason why is because they have been getting progressively worse, and even the first two have been getting worse over the years. You become more and more aggravated with these films as time goes by. It now shocks me that Shrek won best animated feature over Monsters Inc.

The series was good for one film, but then the concept became self-degradating, and repetitive. Lets start with the main reason you make a sequel: to advance the plot. That's something the Shrek franchise has failed to do. The third film had absolutely no reason to exist. It was, and continues to be Dreamworks milking the franchise for everything it has. Can we really expect the franchise to end after what is being called The Final Installment? I'm going to say no. I'm going to be seeing MacGruber this weekend, because it generally looks like an entertaining film.
