[xpoint9]

When King Harold falls ill, it is up to Shrek to find a suitable heir or he will be forced to give up his beloved swamp for the throne. Recruiting Donkey and Puss, Shrek sets out to bring back the rightful heir to the throne, Fiona's rebellious cousin Artie. In Far, Far Away Fiona's jilted Prince Charming storms the city with an army of fairy tale villains to seize the throne. But they have a surprise because Fiona, together with her mother, Queen Lillian, has drafted her fellow fairy tale heroines to defend themselves. As Shrek, Donkey and Puss work on changing Artie from a royal pain into a future king, Fiona and her band of princesses must stop Prince Charming to ensure that there will be a kingdom left to insure.

I can't wait for the trailer.

Hrm.. I wonder how Timberlake got his gig.. oh wait, Cameron Diaz. Damn freeloader.

[i6s1]

In the first one, Fiona had a poster of JT in her room. Now he's playing her cuz. That's wierd.

Yea, because Timberlake doesn't have a career of his own...

[tylercanuck]

By the way, if you want a REAL scandal...

look at the number of present and former SNL cast members on the roster.

It was pretty dry, really disappointed with it. I think I fell asleep for a few minutes too...

"Arthur" played by Justin Timberlake wasn't right, they focused more on New Characters this time, like with Snow White/Sleeping Beauty, etc. IMO was a huge mistake. The jokes seemed desperate/out of place...trying too hard.

I'm really shocked how everything turned out. This time I couldn't walk out like I did with Spider-Man 3.

0/2 so far in Summer Blockbusters! :mad:

The highlight was the new Trailer for TRANFORMERS!

[Paranoidandroid]

Just came back from that snoozefest. I keep hearing negative reviews but I chose to ignore it since I enjoyed the first two. This one is just a wreck! The plot is boring, and the funniest bits were all the ones from the trailer. I should've watched Waitress or The Ex instead!

Worst $10 I ever spent. I think I'm going to download the movie just in spite :mad:

[crimsona]

Far too short, but it's Pirates next week!

[and or]

Worst movie I've seen in a long time - yes, even worse than 28 Weeks Later.

[The Digital Dolphin]

After having to sit through Spiderman 3, I opted to sit this one out. Judging by the reviews, I'm glad I did.

[Lone_Prodigy]

I hope Pirates doesn't make it 0/3 for threequels this summer...

[bembol]

Not really surprised that it made over $122+...next week's numbers should be interesting.


I'm not worried about POTC because unlike this POS (LOL) the Creative Team didn't change. Can't wait. Looked it up and Ted Elliot wrote Shrek.

[skyblue12]
