The green ogre's reign has finally come to an end but his swan song is hardly a good one.'Shrek Forever After,' uniquely titled to represent both its status as the fourth installment of the series and the finality of the franchise, is an enjoyable piece of computer-generated family-friendly entertainment but it is a far cry from the standard set by Dreamworks' first two chapters.Needless to say, 'Shrek Forever After' is at least better than ...

Dreamworks seems bored with the ogre who laid the golden egg. "Shrek Forever After," the fourth film in the lucrative franchise, barely tampers with the Shrek formula (one-liners, flatulence jokes, pop tunes) and not enough to breathe life into the exhausted series. Shrek (voiced by Mike Myers), feeling buried under the celebrity and the diapers, makes an unwise trade with a wizard named Rumpelstiltskin (Walt Dohrn) and is sent back to a time before he was actually born.

The fourth and supposedly final installment, Shrek Forever After is the perfect example of the franchise creators running out of creative ideas, but still hoping to cash-in with another movie (and the 3D trend). Shrek Forever After picks up right where the third movie ends. Now famous and settled into parenthood, Shrek finds himself in a midlife crisis discovering that domestic life and celebrity isn’t all that great. Entering into a foolish contract with Rumpelstiltskin (Walt Dohrn)...

'I used to be an ogre, but now I’m a jolly green joke." Not to DreamWorks Studio, the force behind the "Shrek" franchise. But our green ogre’s lament still rings true in "Shrek Ever After," the fitfully amusing finale to the animated series. "Shrek the Third" threatened to end things on a sour note, steamrolling us with pop culture riffs and too many characters to absorb all at once....

By all accounts, Shrek Forever After will be the final movie in the uber-popular DreamWorks franchise. Many felt Shrek 3 was the curtain call, for it lacked imagination and lost some of its luster with audiences. Still, the flick managed over $300 million at the domestic box office. Forever After threatens to be the all-time domestic gross leader in the franchise. As this story will be delivered in 3-D. I feel most animations should be able to...

"It’s a nice thing they’re doing because not everyone can afford to take their families out to the movies these days," commented Audrey Dunn of Boynton Beach. Audrey was referring to how The Palm Beach Post, and radio stations X102.3 and B106.3 gave away free passes to see "Shrek Forever After" at local movie theaters in South Florida almost a week before the film’s official release date. Audrey brought her grandson for a...
