Email this page to a friend   Critics Reviews Average Grade:   B- Source Brief Review Grade* Atlanta Journal-Constitution Eleanor Ringel Gillespie "Talky, overpopulated, even the ha-ha so-called adult jokes have grown stale and predictable." more... C- Boston Globe Wesley Morris "...the series still favors the jokes..." more... B   Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert "...lacking the comic energy of the first brilliant film and not measuring up to the second." more... B- Chicago Tribune Michael Phillips "I doubt even rabid fans of the first two will consider Shrek the Third a worthy addition to the franchise." more... C   E! Online Matt Stevens "...serviceable summer entertainment..." more... B- Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum "...moves smoothly from act to act." more... B- filmcritic.com Sean O'Connell "...a marginally paranoid but enjoyable comedy rooted in the psychological terror associated with entering adulthood." more... B   Hollywood Reporter Kirk Honeycutt "Much of the bite and a good deal of the wit of the first two films are missing here." more... C- New York Post Kyle Smith "...the torrential downpour of jokes in Shrek and Shrek 2 has dried up to an intermittent drizzle, a comedy London." more... B- New York Times A.O. Scott "...more energetic and more relaxed (than Shrek 2)..." more... B   ReelViews James Berardinelli "...a classic example of a movie that exists because its predecessor made a lot of money." more... B- Rolling Stone Peter Travers "Who wrote this thing, Dr. Phil?" more... C   San Francisco Chronicle Mick LaSalle "It's irreverent and fast paced and is designed to please impatient parents just as much as children." more... B+ Seattle Post-Intelligencer William Arnold "...an innocuous, mildly entertaining, instantly forgettable hodgepodge that's certainly not worth rushing out to see." more... C+ USA Today Claudia Puig "Shrek remains a savvy showman." more... B   * Yahoo! Movies converts each critic's published rating into a letter grade.
