Title: May this be the last
Review: Shrek is the animated corollary of the Aliens, Friday the 13th, Predators and Indiana Jones franchise; stop after 1. Each successive incarnations of Shrek have been less funny, less original and less engaging than the previous one. But they have all been financially profitable, including this fourth and final one. Starring almost all the same characters found in the first or second movies, this one has the plus of having fewer spoofs of other movies. There are funny scenes, all in the same style as the previous 3 movies; a mix of gallows, toilet, black and slapstick humor. There is a new antagonist, though all the protagonists are the same. And there is Shrek's children, though they do little besides provide bodily functions. Overall, an OK film, and a quiet denoument of a successful animated franchise, unlike the glorious ending of Toy Story 3.
