Shrek Movie Reviews that are super shrektacular

- A long time ago, far far away, an ogre saved a princess, and they fell in love. Fighting a fairy godmother, Prince Charming, and Rumpelstiltskin along the way, this is the tale of Shrek. And here are some of the best reviews of the four-film series I could find on Letterboxd.
Say hi to me on Twitter and I will say hi back! / joey_tonka
P.S. Sorry there aren't any Shrek spin-offs or shorts included this time! - Komedie
shrek 3 having higher ratings than shrek 4 is a crime
not even Schaffrillas' desperate essays tacking this issue could avert this tragic fate
RIGHT
To be fair, I’ve seen people say the 4th one is the worst because it’s just a rehash of the _It’s a Wonderful Life_ plot.
Is it true, what they say?
@@ARCtheCartoonMaster a valid criticism but they do something quite different with the plot. Plus just because something is a rehash doesn't make it a worse movie than one that has much less going for it, in my opinion
2:51
The fact CZcams's subtitles define "shrexcelent" as a real word fills me with joy.
it also defines "shreksy" as one too y e s
Yeee
youtube captions are so funny to me. they can't decide on whether or not to censor swear words (they censor "motherfucker" but not "motherfucker's") but they agree on "shrexelent"
they also censored "mongo" which is the single greatest crime against shrek
👁‿👁
I'm surprised there wasn't a review where they mentioned the princesses kicking ass in the third movie. THAT was a masterpiece
The queen destroying walls with her head was amazing
Let’s go lesbians!!
Most of the movie was trash but those were def the best parts
@@auri7287 Facts
it truly was tbh. i LOVED THAT PART WHEN SNOW WHITE DOES THE "AhA HHHHHAAAAAAAAAAA aHHHHHHHHH HaaaaaA" THING
Wait, a girl thinking her cousin is hot isn't a loophole, that's just normal royalty!
Not just royalty either - it happens with a government official in _HMS Pinafore_ , the opera by Gilbert & Sullivan.
And let’s not get started on those damn Shelbyvilleans.
@@ARCtheCartoonMaster Those blasted Shelbyvilleans. That lemon tree belongs to us!
Literally. Queen Elizabeth married her whole ass cousin
@@ARCtheCartoonMaster (IMO) Hebe is a queen, so that would technically make them royalty
I did neurofeedback as a small autistic child and I vividly remember the lady monitoring my brain activity said that the best and most stable she had ever seen on me was when I was watching Shrek 2 and that the worst it had been was watching Shrek 4.
now that is what I call scientific proof
Literally how?!
shrek 3*
(joke)
I think Shrek 4 was scary for some kids 👀
My sister didnt like it because she was afraid of rumpeltiltskin at the time (she's 15 now and still dont like him sksksks)
That's a mood
Once I was trying to say "Lord Farquaad" and instead said
"Lord Fuckwad"
It's now an inside joke in our friend group
That sounds more like a flex to me xd
That was the actual joke
haha I wanna see the Tinker Bell Movie reviews
Yeaaaa that would be good
Yes!!
Wait is that not a thing already?? I would've assumed so tbh
Oml yes
YEEEESSSS
Personally, I think human Shrek looks more like Woody and Buzz’s love child, but to each their own, I guess.
Dear god...
I can see it.
@@freshcupofangst SAME
I CANT UNSEE IT
bro... i can see the resemblance... oh no...
WHY WOULD YOU SAY THIS OMG
im just gonna say it shrek 4 deserves better
Agreed finally somebody said it and not just me.
Fr
It makes me cry every time lol
Agreed
Right! I can understand the hate for the 3rd film, but the 4th one!?! The 4th film was so sweet and had a great message.
Ok but apparently rumplestiltskin was originally written for Paul McCartney so I don’t think the wiki was vandalism!
Well, that would explain why Rumpy looks different in the 4th movie - he looks like he was designed to be voiced by Paul McCartney, much like how a lot of characters in big budget animated films are designed after their VAs (e.g. Robin Williams as Genie, James Woods as Hades, Ed Wynn as the Mad Hatter, and even Donkey kinda looks like Eddie Murphy just a bit).
@@ARCtheCartoonMaster wow 😂
“Did a single woman work on this?”
Why would them being married make a difference?
I think it's more like "not a single woman" (zero women) working on it?
@@HokutoDokuro I know I was joking
I once made a similar joke, where, in _Borat_ when he says not a single lizard will survive the war in Iraq, I commented on the CZcams clip, “At least married lizards will survive, right?”
OMG, I READ IT LIKE THAT TOO.
4:54 they were right until they called shrek 4 bad
Idk how people like Shrek 4 in my opinion it kinda defeated the purpose of Shrek 😭😭😭
@@sporkzzz how’d it defeat the purpose of shrek?
It’s your opinion, so it’s okay, I’m just wondering
Bruh why does so many people hate Shrek 4. For me it’s a 8/10. Just in my opinion.
@@Vermicelli98 yeah
For me it’s nearly on par with shrek 1 if not on par, no where near shrek 2 though
@@Vermicelli98 I don’t know why so many people hate Shrek 3… I feel like a criminal when I say I enjoyed it
I still remember when shrek 4 was JUST released, they were selling shrek cups at mcdonalds and my lil 4 year old brain immediantly thought "oh my god i need one of these in my life" despite not knowing what shrek was or even seeing any of the movies yet, i never got one (i feel like it's because my older brother was afraid of shrek) but boy howdy would it have been epic if i did
And shrek cups paint of em make people sick because the paint wasn’t on right and were discontinued
Still have em in my room lmao
Wait your brother was scared of shrek?? 😭😭💀
Bro the fact that you were 4 when the LAST Shrek movie was released is making me feel old, bc like I was around that age when the FIRST one came out. Like I remember seeing it on DVD as a little girl and everything
Fiona's parents were shocked that Fiona married Shrek and that they were ogres, but if they didn't know that, how did they send the proper invite to shrek's place
Presumably they weren't sure of Fiona's exact location, the messenger people probably had to ask around for it and some people who knew her and Shrek directed them to the swamp.
Either that or it's a plot hole.
Shrek: A classic
Shrek 2: A masterpiece
Shrek 3:
Shrek 4: A fantasic conclusion
I'm so mad that this is where I find out that shrek 4 was a parody of it's a wonderful life after 12 fucking years
The best part in Shrek 3 is when Shrek is held in chains beneath the stage and the cyclops apologizes for mistreating him but he wanted to impress his cyclops daughter. Always makes me emotional 💕
I love watching this channel and finding out a franchise has more movies to it than i previously thought. had no idea there was a fourth shrek movie.
YES
I forgot about the fourth movie too even though I heard about it as a kid lmao
I only knew whenever I saw people talking about a Shrek 5
I knew about the 4th movie but not the third one 💀
it’s actually really good
Shrek 4 is actually pretty okay in my opinion.
I think people don’t like it because of shrek 3.
It's better than Shrek 3, that's for sure!
@@gazelle_diamond9768 yeah i honestly felt bored when I watched the movie
Shrek 4 does NOT deserve the slander the reviews put it through. True that Shrek was kind of an asshole and literally made a deal with the devil just to not have his kids anymore, but at the same time, right after the sequence where he walks around and terrorises the village he realises just how much he fucked up, his best friend doesn't know who he is, the land is one big dystopia, and the person he loves the most in the world starts off despising him. It was absolutely emotional and I have never once NOT cried during it. THE FINAL SCENE WHERE FIONA HOLDS HIS BODY AS HE LITERALLY THANOS-SNAPS AWAY AND HE GIVES HER THE PLUSHIE SHAPED ME AS A PERSON. Not to mention how big of an upgrade it had in the visual department, it was gorgeous.
Agreed!! Besides he only made the deal for one day. He was stressed and angry and wanted a break to go back to his old solitary life, then go back like nothing had happened.
Also I love that they changed Rumplestiltskin from his Shrek 3 appearance that movie doesn't exist if we don't acknowledge it
12:53 relatable,
I too realized I had a type when I was like 9 or something and suddenly went like ''idk man ogre fiona is hotter than regular fiona''
Sameee
I don't forget Robin Hood. Though probably for the Xbox game. In one of the two he says "Oh merry men!" And that has stuck with me.
Yo, that game is great, I know exactly what you're talking about!
Shrek 2 understood medieval combat better than Game of Thrones' later seasons
I honestly don’t see why people think shrek 4 is bad? I LOVED that movie growing up, and the story and all is pretty emotional at times.
Yeah shrek 3 was an…experience, though
I think it was mainly franchise fatigue. Most of us who watched Shrek as a kid were cynical highschoolers /college students by then. Also, since you mentioned "Shrek III", that movie made people assume that the next one was a shameless cash grab, like Disney's direct to video sequels.
7:45 Seeing these images of Puss doing that face reminds me of that “actor playing real person vs. real person at the end of movie” meme.
Also, when Puss does the face in Donkey’s body, he kinda looks like Miriam from _Turning Red_ .
I can't unsee it
I’m absolutely crying why is this comment so funny 💀💔
10:15 Fun fact: in this movie, Merlin is voiced by Eric Idle, who played Ko-Ko in that 80s TV production of Gilbert & Sullivan’s _The Mikado_ . I bring this up because “Merlin’s beard!” is the catchphrase used by Professor Slughorn in _Harry Potter_ , who’s played by Jim Broadbent, who played Gilbert in the film _Topsy-Turvy_ , which is about him and Sullivan working on _The Mikado_ . Isn’t that a funny coincidence?
The climax of Shrek 2 is my main purpose in life
Since I am the 2nd person to see this shrek related video, I have a duty to do.
Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead
Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do, so much to see

Hey now, you're a rock star, get the show on, get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold
It's a cool place and they say it gets colder
You're bundled up now, wait 'til you get older
But the meteor men beg to differ
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture
The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
The water's getting warm so you might as well swim
My world's on fire, how about yours?
That's the way I like it and I'll never get bored
Hey now, you're an all-star, get your game on, go play

Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas?
I need to get myself away from this place
I said, "Yup" what a concept
I could use a little fuel myself
And we could all use a little change

Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun

your contribution to this comment section is greatly appreciated

Thanks for your wisdom.
i love you for this, truly, but i can’t like it because it’s at 169. too perfect
No one is talking about the way Joey says "do the roar" and it's pissing me off
listen, guys, Princess Diana wasn't killed, she was transported to the Shrek universe to become the trans icon we all needed (ignoring the fact Prince Charming was an absolute douchebag lmao)
@@eriisobsessed oh god lmao
The scene in Shrek the the 3rd where the princess infiltrate the castle in a fighting sequence that has Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin is both seared into my brain and the greatest fight montage in cinematic history (drag evil step sister absolutely included)
I am truly happy to have lived to see all of the Shrek Movies. I am lucky to be alive.
The baby dream scene is truly nightmare fuel…
3:38 The version I watched growing up was only 86 minutes long. No, they didn’t cut anything - rather, the Australian VHS version is slightly sped up because it’s in the PAL format. It also happens with DVDs, even though they’re digital, since they were originally formatted for the old tube TVs, but luckily it never happens with Blu-ray or streaming.
THE PAUL MCCARTNEY PART-
I’ve never been a fan of the Shrek movies so I don’t really know why I decided to watch this video.
I think I only watched the first movie, maybe I also watched the second movie idk because the only memory I have from these movies is that scene where they’re eating dinner at Fiona’s castle and she burped.
That's the second movie
@@rosykindbunny1313 I love how straightforward and confident you sound in your answer, and as a Shrek fan you should be. Fiona in fact DID burp in Shrek 2 during the dinner table scene where she finally returns to the palace to greet her parents with Shrek, only for your majesties to realize that Fiona is still an ogre and has an ogre husband, which leads to an all out food fight between the king and Shrek resulting in a sad Fiona and a disappointed Queen.
I’m gonna be honest, Shrek 3 actually SLAPPED. Maybe it’s just because it started my love for Arthurian media as a whole, but I personally like it more than Shrek 2. Only crime was that they didn’t have Galahad cameo as a younger student in the Camelot high school scene.
YOURE GOING TO THR TENTH LAYER OF HELL BOY
woah this is the first person i saw that actually loved shrek 3. recording this for history
My guy Shrek *3*????????
Although Shrek 3 was far from my favorite in the franchise, I honestly don't see where the hate is coming from, it's the weakest in the line up to me but it's not a complete abomination like people say
I have a secret…I loved shriek three also
I feel like i should say, i went to universal studios and walked to donkey. He mentionedhaving a husband meaning donkey is canonically bisexual. My personal headcannon is donkey is bisexual and dragon is a gay trans man
Tonka Joey is welcome in my swamp any time :)
Donkey & Dragon used ectobiology to have kids
Sherk 3, the kid that took the kings place
NEVER SHOWED UP AGAIN-
Sherk 4 I LOVED, it gave a lot of answers and what ifs
are we not gonna talk about how gabriel gundacker left one of these reviews
Ngl, I've only seen 1, 2, and 3 up to the baby nightmare dream sequence, because that absolutely purged me of my desire to keep watching.
"DADA" has lived rent free in my fucking nightmares for years
2:07 thank you for using a picture of Orlando bloom as the Duke of Buckingham so that I can now think about cinematic masterpiece the three musketeers (2011) for the rest of the day
Actually I'm in the process of creating an actual shrekcore aesthetic that involves fairy tale stuff and whatever guy fieri's aesthetic is
I need help making a pinterest board for it actually. Not enough guy fieri core
Update: still can't find the name of the smash mouth aesthetic
This is the single best CZcams comment I’ve ever had the delight to read
Sherk 2, brought a AMAZING cover of I need a hero DEAR GOD
I’m really surprised how many people either hate on Shrek 4 or think it’s just ok. No, it’s not just ok, it’s BRILLIANT. Just when I thought the franchise could only go downhill after the third movie, the forth dropped, as well as my jaw.
Shrek is love, Shrek 2 is iconic, Shrek the Turd, Shrek Forever after makes me sob
The forgettable Robin Hood line was ON THE NOSE
3:25 I’ve always used “BS” and “AS” to mean “before suffrage” and “after suffrage”. For example, we’re currently in the year AS 102 by that metric, though by this one here it would be AS 21.
Hey why is the pepper grinder visual gag funny? Genuine question
It's like a medieval version of pepper spray.
@@charlinear LMAOOO thank you
@@charlinear Oh, that makes so much sense. I've been so confused about that scene for years.
@@charlinear
OOOH THAT MAKES ALOT OF SENSE NOW-
*Shrek 4 is basically a fanfiction*
No it isn't, Shrek 4 is a masterpiece
* sherk 3 *
fun fact: i watched shrek 2 at least 11 times in 2021
i can replay the entire film in my head by now
idc what anyone says the 4th shrek movie is a good and very romantic movie
i am so glad, i was not the only one who thought human shrek was kind of hot.
I feel depressed about the state of humanity knowing we'll never top Shrek 2 as one of the greatest things ever invented.
11:56 Actually, he was supposed to voice Rumplestiltskin but was replaced by Walt Dohrn
Oh god the puss in boots weed joke scene. I am forever tainted after having to behold with my own eyes a Tumblr post that claimed the cops planted the weed on Puss. Like bro. It’s already a parody sequence of Cops, they are not putting a before its time topical joke about the cop planting weed on Puss. The area/“the cop’s pocket” that they claim the cop pulled it from was just a shadow/shadow texture. And for godsakes Puss literally admits that he had it on him naught but 1 second later with the “it’s not mine I was holding it for a friend” joke line. I am forever scarred at just how much of a bad take that Tumblr post was and the replies full of idiots that agreed with the OP instead of using their brains and critical thinking skills.
The amount of adult jokes in Shrek is amazing💀
5 year old me didn’t realize Arthur was Fiona’s cousin and was confused why her mom didn’t just rule the kingdom so I got really scared that Arthur was marrying her mom so when she died he would rule.
are we ignoring the brothers named Walker and Wilder Rutter?
I’m just imagining Fiona singing with Arthur and then going 🤨🤨 when she realizes they sound the same
If they ever remake Shrek, which hope to the Shrek gods of 2013 they will *never* Henry Cavil is the only candid that should go through.
Looks like without the CGI mustache removal, Henry Cavill still can't escape human Shrek jokes.
Awesome and entertaining as always. I love the Movie review series. Also I was wondering, can we see Movie reviews of Harry Potter?
the hypothetical Shrek 5 being about getting old and embracing death hits different with the new Puss in Boots movie
LMAO I WAS FUCKING CACKLING AT 1 AM WHEN YOU SAID 'do the roar'
Why has my sense of humor down spiraled into complete confusion 💀💀
How did no one comment on the fact that only a few months after Fiona was rescued by shrek, charming showed up.... meaning in shrek 4 she wouldn't have stayed locked up for too much longer.... meaning charming would have rescued her..... it's such a big plot hole....
Charming and FG were only in it for the throne. No king and queen, no saving.
shrek 4 is pretty good in my opinion
its not as good as the first one
and definitely not a match against the second one
but its better than the third one
and thats okay with me :)
(also other Fiona is my hero)
"Now, really, it's rude enough being ALIVE when no one wants you"
- My brain every morning that I wake up 😂
"Shrek 5 is gonna be a passing-of-the-torch or Logan kind of story"
I know this was probably written as a meme, but danm I would watch both, particularly the second choice.
"Time is divided into BS (Bullsh**) and AS (after shrek)"
That's how I read it anyways
Shrek 4 was so good though. I've forgotten what Shrek 3 was about.
the fact that the review i laughed the most at was the repetitive mispronunciation of the word shrek (13:50) tells a lot
I love these videos thank you for making them can you make tinker bell movie reviews pls ❤️❤️
Watching Shrek two in my Positive Growth Class as a treat, my teacher had the audacity to pause just before the Fairy Godmother says her diet is ruined.
I hadnt seen this movie until probably last summer, which was 2022
I dont know how I lived for that long without this beautiful cinematic masterpiece
Highly dissapointed the Christmas and Halloween movies of shrek weren’t even mentioned
There was that short Christmas one too! Maybe it wasn’t a film as such, but I’d be interested to see what people thought of that one lol
Can you do a tinkerbell movie reviews? They were pretty good and underrated and there's like 7 movies of them
the robinhood one is so true but ive watched shrek hundreds of times and each viewing im like "since when was robin hood in it???"
I have two requests (not sure if you do them but figured I’d throw my hat into the ring) the first being the Pirates of the Caribbean series, the second being all the 101 Dalmatian films, animated, live action, their sequels and prequel remake.
Shrekcore is my new personality.
Not Price Charming looking like Princess Diana 😭
How is no one gonna point out that S4 Rumpelstiltskin looks like Shane Dawson
What I love about this movie the most is that it avoided the Cliché of the Beast falling in love at first sight for the Beauty, because Sheek didn't care about the beauty of human Fionna, he liked DESPITE being a pretty princess and not because of it. The twist of the Beauty turning into a Beast was refreshing because is always the other way around.
My classmates did a theater project on the first movie and it was almost as amazing as the actual movie.
i nearly cried when i found out that shrek: the musical was removed from netflix
One of the most happiest and nostalgic memory from my childhood is Shrek 2 and the ending with Livin la Vida loca . Honestly, it's too nostalgic 🙌😩
11:53
I ALMOST SPIT OUT MY DRINK WHEN I HEAR THIS JGLSGLJSLJGSGJLS 💀💀
i have the shrek 2 cd and it's literally my favorite childhood movie, i watched it so many times and played the far far away idols game so many times i might as well have the entire thing memorized by now
I watched Shrek 3 all of once, in theaters when it came out, and all I remember besides Fiona being pregnant, the baby nightmare that Shrek had, and the half-donkey half-dragon abominations, is this one line that Arthur said, something about not wanting to be king, or something (don't remember the exact words), and I mostly remember it bc we had this one McDonald's toy of Arthur where if you press the button it said that specific line, and I remember it being a meme of sorts between me and my sister, but when we saw the movie the actual delivery of the line felt underwhelming, it didn't feel like the iconic line the toy led me to believe it was
i found it funny that in the first movie fiona blows up a small bird and in shrek forever after she blows up feefee (a goose) its just funny
I’d like to see reviews for the Sam Raimi Spiderman trilogy next (or reviews for every spider man movie you can find).
I'll add it to my list!
@@tonkajoey08 YAY! Thanks!
I actually beg for a cheetah girls video
Idk what’s wholesome you talking about shrek or your voice being very ASMR wholesomess
Mr.merlin eating his rock food is the best ASMR I've heard
I dont know how I feel about Human Shrek because he looks just like my dad...
The low quality all star in the background is my favorite
I probably should watch all these movies at some point, if only to say I've seen them all; I've only seen the first two.
