Shrek 2001*Shrek* is a funny, warm-hearted fairy-tale comedy whose characters outlast its pop-culture jokes. Andrew Adamson and Vicky Jenson get plenty from an ogre and a talkative donkey, even when the storytelling settles for the familiar.Fi1m 80 - 2
Shrek 2 2004*Shrek 2* is a warm, funny sequel whose new voices earn their place. Antonio Banderas and Jennifer Saunders sharpen the comedy, though a slow opening and some laboured film references keep it from being quite as nimble as its cat.Fi1m 80 - 3
Shrek the Third 2007Chris Miller’s third outing is handsomely built and has about twenty minutes of jokes in it. Shrek’s reluctance to rule is stated in the first reel and then repeated for an hour, while Donkey and Puss wait in the wings.Fi1m 50 - 4
Shrek Forever After 2010The fourth Shrek is a clear improvement on the third: smaller, better tempered, with a decent villain and an alternative Far Far Away worth the visit. It is also the first film’s story run again, and it knows it.Fi1m 60
