WORTH SEEING? In comparison to Shreks 2 and 3, yes. Essentially, if you like alternate universes and stories about appreciating what you've got (Back To The Future 2 meets Santa Clause 3?) then Shrek 4 will suit.
TELL ME MORE! What else is there to say? If you've seen Shrek 2, BTTF2 and Santa Clause 3, then you've seen Shrek 4. If not, then bloke has a happy life but doesn't know it, wishes his life away, realises life was good. At the end he says 'It's a wonderful life', clips his heels together and goes home to Kansas.
THE CAST - Animation does a wonderful thing for annoying voices. Cameron Diaz, Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy and Antonio Banderas (Charlie's Angel, International Man Of Mystery, that bloke in the fat suit and Zorro, respectively) have lost the ability to carry a vehicle in front of the screen. To say they have a personality fit for radio is an understatement, but here they shine. Diaz comes off a bit whiny, but I think that's intentional given her 'husband's character arc.
CUT TO THE CHASE - Less racy than Shrek, staler than Shrek 2, plain better than Shrek 3, Shrek 4 is my personal favourite in a patchy series that *gasp* at times is better than Toy Story. Yes, even Toy Story 3. A solid 6/10, it's not a must-see movie but certainly better than most 'kids' films of late, with the exception of pure Pixar works.
