This last installment of the Shrek franchise does take forever to get going, with most of the film being moribund until Puss-not-in-boots finally shows up, but I think it ends up better than it started (being an alternative version of what-if Shrek and Fiona never met or hooked up. Having Rumpelstiltskin as the villain got tiresome in the first act, not a good sign. But it's a little more ambitious than the previous film (which wasn't good) in some ways, but in other ways, it feels cramped. But without Donkey or Puss, this film would have been truly a dud, as it is, it's a semi-dud.
I give it 2 stars, or a grade of C.
