Microsoft is offering a new Shrek theme, based on the fourth installment of the franchise, available as a free download for users of the latest iteration of Windows. But then again, I'm not part of the audience it's meant for, so I'll let people who are fans state their opinion instead.Windows 7 offers a new personalization option for fans of the most lovable green ogre that made it to the big screen. So I'm sure you already know what I'm going to say about this plot snyopsis and it's not good. I can appreciate the first one, and I love the Pinocchio and Gingerbread Man characters, but I otherwise hate the entire franchise with a fiery passion. I'm not a fan of the Shrek series at all, in fact, I really hate the movies. So there you have it, it almost sounds like a reboot (think Fast & Furious), where Shrek tries to go all the way back to the life he had in the first movie. Now, it's up to Shrek to undo all he's done in the hopes of saving his friends, restoring his world and reclaiming his one True Love. Shrek suddenly finds himself in a in a twisted, alternate version of Far Far Away, where ogres are hunted, Rumplestiltskin is king and Shrek and Fiona have never met.
Longing for the days when he felt like a "real ogre", Shrek is duped into signing a pact with the smooth-talking dealmaker, Rumplestiltskin. Instead of scaring villagers away like he used to, a reluctant Shrek now agrees to autograph pitch forks. Just like the past two Shrek movies, though, it doesn't sound that great at all.Īfter challenging an evil dragon, rescuing a beautiful princess and saving your in-laws' kingdom, what's an ogre to do? Well, if you're Shrek, you suddenly wind up a domesticated family man.
If you've been curious about what they're doing next, an early plot synopsis has been discovered, thanks to Lackluster Emporium (via SlashFilm). The third one was as bad as it was, because after three movies, the concept has been stretched so much, that there's no more good stories left to tell that aren't ridiculous and/or contrived. Sadly, DreamWorks Animation is working on another Shrek sequel, called Shrek Goes Fourth, for release in 2010, even though the third one was panned by critics (it has a 49% on Rotten Tomatoes, to be exact).
