Please don't screw this up....

 

[StueyDuck]

Just get the pnb:last wish team

And don't get whoever the fuck the idiots at Disney keep hiring

 

[kanjobazooie]

Anyone played Shrek on Original Xbox? It kinda had a soulsborne atmosphere.

 

[AlteredForms]

As a huge Shrek fan I have mixed feelings about this entire thing. Though with the original cast returning and especially Eddie Murphy, I have faith..

Amen.

My son wanted to see Last Wish and I dreaded taking him.. but man it blew me away how good it was.. so unexpected.

[BadBurger]

Damn, I didn't even know there was parts 3 and 4. Looks like I need to catch up.

 

[BlackTron]

Shrek is abysmally long in the tooth but after Puss in Boots 2, everyone wondered if they could take another crack at it, with renewed vigor this time.

 

[jshackles]

Shrek is coming

And so am I

 

[Kev Kev]

I think I only saw the first, but it was fun, I'm always down for more

 

[Doom85]

I know it's well loved, but I didn't click with Shrek 2. First one is excellent, but 2 just never made me laugh much and the theme felt like a retread. So I never saw 3 or 4.

But hey, cool for its fans.

 

[Elder Legend]

Eddie Murphy and Cameron Diaz are GOAT actors.

 

[Saber]

The last Shrek wasn't that good, but I'm aways looking foward to its movies. Shrek is one of those movies I aways interested in watch.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

They made 4 of them?

 

[Scotty W]

You people disgust me

 

[Mossybrew]

Yeah after that end scene in PnB 2 (which is a really fun movie) it seemed this was definitely in the works. I'm ready for some more Shrek in my life.

 

[Elder Legend]

They made 4 of them?

Shrek, Shrek 2, Shrek 3, Shrek Forever After.

 

[Bragr]

As long as they are willing to make fun of things like in the first movie. If I remember correctly, that movie was all about making fun of Disney, they should do that again, a lot more material now.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

yep. i bet is going to have Forespoken level of cringe writing sprinkled with memes.

 

[Rentahamster]

5 layers. Like an onion.

Sadly Shrek ended up becoming the very thing it swore to destroy.

 

[Sybrix]

Shrek 1 and 2 were good, there rest were meh.

 

[GymWolf]

Shrek 3 was the only movie that forced me to leave the movie theater after like 1 hour.

Too bad because the first 2 were great (especially shrek 1)

They ruined the whole thing like they did with ice age, sometimes it's better to stop after 1-2 movies.

 

[diffusionx]

I'll watch it when it comes to GBA

 

[Batiman]

Ha awesome. Watched them all recently. The 4th one was surprisingly amazing. The third was horrible though. Glad it's back. Puss and boots 2 was a masterpiece and made me want more shrek

 

[Spaceman292]

Damn, I didn't even know there was parts 3 and 4. Looks like I need to catch up.

No you don't they're shit. 1 and 2 were the only good ones.

 

[Sub_Level]

Sequels never beat the original. This has never been more apparent than with Shrek.

 

[Mossybrew]

No you don't they're shit. 1 and 2 were the only good ones.

Yeah I hardly even remember the 3rd and 4th movies as they were only barely worth watching once. I've enjoyed the first two several times over.

 

[YCoCg]

How can there be a fifth movie when a third never existed?

 

[Power Pro]

Shrek 5: It's all Orge now

 

[DKehoe]

 

[Trogdor1123]

I , as well, had no idea about the 4th film

 

[Tams]

 

[John Bilbo]

puss in boots 2 was good

 

[Maiden Voyage]

Shrek is coming

And so am I

 

[Rush2112]

There's a shriek 5? Imagine hating the first one then they make 4 more lmao.

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

But hey, cool for its fans.

Shrek 2 was amazing. Arguably the best movie out of them all. Of course the original is a classic but damn 2 was so good.

There's a shriek 5? Imagine hating the first one then they make 4 more lmao.

There will be if this is true. Imagine hating something and thinking you have to keep consuming it

 

[0neAnd0nly]

I don't think it will fly today.

This was made in an era where writing and humor were the priorities.

Now… yeah. I can only imagine.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

 

[Umbasaborne]

 

[RavageX]

Same trend as always. Ive only seen the first two I think but i bet the new one will force an issue between well established relationships involving the characters and resolve it by the end, and throw some more pregnancies in there too so future movies can have parent/kid issues.

 

[Blade2.0]

Sequels never beat the original. This has never been more apparent than with Shrek.

But shrek 2 and Puss in boots 2 are both better than the first ones.

 

[ShadowNate]

There are four?
I think I gave up half way in the second one maybe.
It's not for me.

 

[j0hnnix]

I hope it's more inclusive. Many animals on Twitter were upset they were not included in the first 4.

 

[daTRUballin]

I rewatched the first four about a year ago or so. Shrek 2 was actually the first one I ever watched as a kid, so that one always has a special place for me. Shrek 1 is of course a classic. Shrek the Third kinda sucks. Shrek Forever After is surprisingly really good and it actually gets kinda emotional during certain parts! It's interesting how so many people aren't even aware it exists lol

About time they made a fifth! What took them so long?

It's hilarious that he has enough of his own brand for you to be 100% right.
