Shrek 4 Ever After REACTION

I would recommend Schaffrillas take on this movie as it might help y'all appreciate this film a bit more, but even without that I always thought this film was surprisingly decent .

I don't really see y'all's issues with the animation. I just looks like a more updated version of what came before. Probably a bit more smooth and crisp . Also, I and others do agree that what Shrek says at the beginning is wildly out of character, but perhaps people are more forgiving of it because of how the story here unfolds. That out of character moment does kind of feels like a contrived way to get the plot going.

Nevertheless, I don't think it detracts from the other funny and likable things his film has to offer. Overall, I found this film to be a vast improvement over the third one (which is the one that feels the most off and has the most problems), and at the moment it's a decent conclusion to the Shrek series. Ranking:

1. Puss in Boots Last Wish

2. Shrek 2

3. Shrek

4. Shrek Forever After

5. Puss in Boots

6. Shrek the Third

I love this movie and it's a good end to the series. But one thing I have to point out. In the original movie it took Shrek and donkey like 3 days to get from dulac to the dragons castle. Granted it also took a long while for them to go from shreks house to far far away. So I can only assume the witch brooms are incredibly fast and they used that to travel most of the way

I think the reason people really like this movie is because we get to see other ogres for the first time, other than that i don't get why people think shrek was valid, I can understand him being frustrated at people not taking him seriously but at the same time his wish in the first movie was for people to not be prejudice against him, he takes his anger out on fiona because she was the closest person to his proximity, essentially says that he wishes she was still locked up in a tower, and doesn't even flinch when realizing what he just said, he walks away and decides to escape his life, all on his kids first birthday, then at the end he just takes it back?? it's fair to say shrek was a lot more bitter in the other movies but in this one he's just a creepy asshole and i think they could've done more if they brought him back to after he said it so that he can go back, apologize, and face the consequences.

Dude, shrek in the beginning felt like someone having a sensory overload meltdown, and I super vibe with that. The thing I take issue with is how fast the “falling in love again” happened and how forced. He tried forcefully kissing her several times, like, she would’ve only had a bad reaction to him afterwards; either panic, or aggression because he was a legitimate threat to her and her physical/emotional safety (his actions were bordering on assault in places). I loved the message *he* took away from everything, but like, she 1000% deserved to have had a full REAL conversation with; like they could’ve gone outside and explained everything or showed him telling her later that night in their ending montage. Also, I’m super glad they found more ogres, but I wish they had gone more in depth about how little shrek knew about being an ogre. And touched on his backstory. Like his parents dumped his ass at like 7 or 8 and fully abandoned him. But you’d never know unless you watch Shrek the Musical. Anyway, like, between 3D uncanny valley, and a premise that really misses looking back at it (bc 2010 was a fucking different era, sadly) this one and the third tie for me, for last place, albeit bc of very different reasons. I am and will always be biased towards shrek 2 as best movie, but the first is dear to me as well; I blame them for my love of twisting fairytales to new angles

cookie’s bringing the heat out the kitchen ?

I can't blame Shrek. Everybody at that birthday party was straight up bugging. I would've lost my mind too.

Ngl I’m actually of the opinion that this is worst of the 4. I would rewatch The Third more than Forever After. This is still a really enjoyable movie.
