Shrek Forever After

I had not been looking forward to Shrek Forever After, but I enjoyed it once we got started. I hear they were going to make a 5th film but have decided against it.

Empire Online likes it, saying, "DreamWorks could be entering a period of fresh creativity. With How To Train Your Dragon and a balanced, darker-hued and very funny Shrek finale, they’ve found the magic again." Rolling Stone concludes: "It's a fun ride. What's missing is the excitement of a new interpretation." The Village Voice says, "It takes the film a deadly long time to kick in, and when it does, it largely retreads formula". EW gives it a B- and says,

what was once a fresh, self-referential twist on the vulturish consumption of pop culture when the first Shrek debuted in 2001 has become a lazy corporate tic.... Everyone involved fulfills his or her job requirements adequately. But the magic is gone
