After the bad taste in my mouth from Shrek the Third, I’d decided to pass on this one entirely. However, after reading your review, I feel it’s worth a go, as long as I don’t expect the storytelling quality of the first two.
Also, didn’t DreamWorks scrap the 5-movie idea, and decide to make Shrek Forever After the final chapter instead? I thought I recalled reading that…

Shrek Forever After was nothing of a “final” chapter in 2010 compared to Toy Story 3. But like I said twice it’s on par with 1 and 3. What was missing was the original’s satiric magic. And changing Rumpelstilskin was an unnecessary villain move. However, the surprising amount of heart and bittersweet feeling of one last adventure with Shrek was forgiving. If Shrek 5 does happen after all, the story must be 100% worthy of an encore for Shrek and friends. PS where’s our HTTYD review?

In reply to CarFan. Yeah it feels very bizarre to continue from Forever After. I kind of get the feeling that they will introduce a new witch, sorcerer as the antagonist for some reason. Or else they might go more into the troll or ogre lore of Shrek.

What would even be the story for a Shrek 5? The
kids would probably be grown up, but otherwise I
don’t know what story they would go with. I’m with
you, also can’t believe there’s gonna be a Shrek 5.

In reply to Ernesto Chacon. You are right. Shrek 4 came out May 2010, while How to Train Your Dragon came out March 2010.

I liked Shrek 4. Sure, it’s plot is predictable, but at
least it’s a huge improvement from the 2nd movie
and it drops most of the annoying pop culture gags
from Shrek 2.

The movie is fairly good, but while watching it last time, I started feeling kind of depressed. Something about it just feels sad.
