The new Shrek is terible, it's a mockery of what it used to be! The whole point of Shrek was poking fun at the squeeky clean and cleché that was, and still is especialy with their pseudo christian values, disney in the late ninties and early two-thousands. It turned on it's head the conventions of fairy tales, making the princes into either meglamaniacs or preening dicks, and the fairy god mother into a corporate warmonger. Rumplestiltsskin is a bad character in a fairytale to begin with and is here only because they're scraping the bottem of the barrel for villians that they don't have to think about too much. The plot is exactly the same as the third one in as much as it's Shrek again not wanting to be king which he was supposed to have come to terms with at the end of the last film. It's a knock off piece of shit in my opinion.
