Movies Can someone here please tell me why Shrek The Third (2007) is considered very inferior to the first two Shrek movies?

I have never understood why the third Shrek movie got panned as hard as it did...although I haven't seen it since it since I was a kid...I don't remember it be any better or worse than the second movie.

The ORIGINAL is FAR and AWAY the BEST though, and while I loved the second movie as a kid....it holds up less and less as an adult like the original movie.

I looked at the ratings on IMDb and the first one gets a 7.9, the second gets a 7.2, and the third gets a 6.1 so there is a bit of a drop-off there. The fourth one somehow scores slightly higher than the third with a 6.3 which isn't that much better.

I could have sworn I saw three of these movies but I only saw the first two. I remember enjoying the first one more than the second one story-wise but the second one was funnier to me cause, well, Puss in Boots. I don't know anything about the third or fourth movies.

...And now I realize I saw the Puss in Boots movie so that is where I thought I had seen a third movie. I actually enjoyed it. I don't care what anyone has to say about it. The "Ohhhh!" cat sold it for me.

Shrek The Third lacks the plot depth of the first two Shrek movies. I would even go as far as to say it had no real plot.

Yes what i needed!
Watch Schaffrilas Productions he goes into details about why movie 3 is the Worst!
Why what i needed because i watched the amazing vid where he talks about why he lkikes Tamatoa from moana so much! (but dont watch ot first because that would make it less perfect!)

Just watched Shrek 2 (I'm rewatching all the Shrek movies in order and I'm going to be the 4th movie for the first time)...and man...it was just a great as I remember being.

Things don't look Shrek The Third as it will most likely be a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT coming after the second movie.

I've only saw the first two movies but assuming 3 wasn't just a flat-out worse movie, franchise fatigue could've set in and caused reviewers to be more negative of it. Gotta be honest, as much as I enjoyed the first movie and loved the second, I have zero interest in watching any of the other sequels. I'm fine with Shrek being a duology for me.

The fourth one is much better so its not just that!

Let me sum up movie 3:
Prince charming recruits Villains? Harold dies and shrek is scared of becoming a dad (which the movie handles badly)! Fionna has nothing to do in it!
And the humor and music sucks!

On the other hamd Shrek 4 mostly ignores movie 3 and has shrek grapple with a world in which Rumple stilzkin (how do you write Rumpelstielzchen in english?)
Rules everything and the plot and chars are amazing! an amazing finale to shrek ill definitly suggest watching it!
