A hazy melancholy result for adults and excessive abstraction for children. [Full review in Spanish]

| Jul 15, 2022

Fourth time isn't the charm.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | May 19, 2021

With this fourth entry in the series, it's clear this franchise is becoming more episodic than theatrical.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Nov 30, 2020

The film is a delightful, funny, and heartwarming end to the wildly lucrative series.

| Original Score: 3.0/4.0 | Sep 23, 2020

Shrek Forever After is humorous, off-beat and just silly enough for all to have an enjoyable time.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 14, 2020

The fun seems gone, and the now-requisite end credits musical number seems like a relic from 2001.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 7, 2019

While this one isn't quite on par with the first two films in the franchise, it's still a satisfying conclusion to one of the most successful animated series of the last decade.

| Original Score: B | May 9, 2019

[Shrek Forever After] is a satisfactory way to end the series.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 16, 2019

The attack on the formulaic construction of Disney's fairy tales seems hypocritical as this film uses the same tired formula used throughout the franchise; only this time, it is weaker than ever.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 5, 2018

Other than the fact that it's animated and some of the characters are vaguely based on fairytale characters, nothing about Shrek Forever After caters to kids.

| Oct 4, 2018

The rot set in with the third film, I think, and now, with the fourth, it's decomposed and gone to that black sludge you get at the bottom of the bin.

| Aug 30, 2018

If this is to be Shrek's last outing, it's good to see him bow out in style.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 6, 2018

Shrek Forever After is a very mediocre affair, with crummy 3D and a real lack of laughs.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Nov 9, 2013

"Shrek Forever After" feels more like a direct-to-video release than one that should have been put in theaters.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Oct 1, 2012

Shrek Forever After is a fairy tale ending for the series.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 14, 2011

Shrek Forever After is the latest in a long, mediocre tradition. What charms it does have can't really compete with the charms it doesn't have.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Mar 30, 2011

DreamWorks and the unlovable ogre lose the plot.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 2, 2011

Shrek's inspired mash-up of the world of fairy tales and contemporary pop culture is now yielding diminishing returns.

| Dec 29, 2010

Reveals an urge by the filmmakers to wipe the slate clean, as large an admission that the series is out of ideas as one could get. That said, all involved do try to make the most of it.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Dec 17, 2010

...sweet and gentle, and the conclusion, while expected, carries a good deal of touching sentiment.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Dec 3, 2010
