Shrek the Third

Third time's a charm, they say. Good things come in threes, they say.
Not Shrek. Ugh, was the third version terrible. Absolutely freaking terrible. Bad all around. Far too much (bad) adult humor for kids to get, almost no kid humor, and with a storyline I couldn't have cared less about.
Avoid, avoid, avoid!

I never understood why anyone considered the first one appropriate for kids. The humor is all targeted at adults. It was pretty funny, though. (Which I found surprising, as I'd found the ads for the original particularly unfunny.)
The second one was just plain bad. Boring and not funny.
I'm hoping the third is better than the second, but I have no reason to expect it to approach the quality of the first film. I don't plan to see it on the big screen.. I'll wait and watch it on TV.
