Critics Consensus

While not without its moments, Shrek Forever After too often feels like a rote rehashing of the franchise's earlier entries.

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

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.

4/5

The movie is a family drama about the family drama, so on every available level it works a treat.

Little kids will lap this up with the same zeal as Donkey digging into a stack of his beloved waffles, but adults will find nothing new here, just another retread of ideas exhausted in the previous entries.

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

Um capítulo final fraco e sem graça que patina numa história de realidade alternativa aborrecida, provando que a franquia já devia ter terminado há muito tempo.

Perhaps the best one yet. More focused and sophisticated in all technical qualities. Much more depth than before, almost a maturity in some ways. Very well written and brought to screen. Amazing cinematography and visual effects, once again. Stellar cast all shines in character. Lots of action, drama, suspense, twists, emotion, intrigue and wonder. Lots of new angles to the tale. Very entertaining and memorable

This is one of the more hilarious Shreks inn the franchise. I don’t understand the hate AT ALL. I was dying of laughter watching it, and it had a great message at its core. 5/5 stars from me.

A massive Improvement from Shrek The Third. I would recommend watching this to anyone who liked the first two movies but it might fall flat if you are wanting something as good as the first 2, overall a decent watch for all ages, 7/10.
