Shrek

THE GREATEST FAIRY TALE NEVER TOLD.

It ain't easy bein' green -- especially if you're a likable (albeit smelly) ogre named Shrek. On a mission to retrieve a gorgeous princess from the clutches of a fire-breathing dragon, Shrek teams up with an unlikely compatriot -- a wisecracking donkey.

    Too much focus on special effects and not enough on the story. It felt like a missed opportunity.

    Not my cup of tea. The storyline was predictable and the characters lacked depth.

    Way too long and dragged out. It had potential, but it lost me halfway through.
