      The third movie was a little too shit for my taste. But when Shrek 2 came out in '04, I think Dreamworks really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole film has a clear, crisp narrative, and a new sheen of comedic timing that really gives the jokes a big boost. He’s been compared to Woody, but I think Shrek has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.

        The Shrek 2/Jennifer Saunders version of “Holding Out For A Hero” is better than the Bonnie Tyler original.

        Shrek The Third was pretty decent IMO, but Shrek Forever After and all the spinoffs were really lame.

        Here’s hoping 5 is at least passable
