Shrek the Third
(2007)

Rubbish
I think I've been pretty generous in giving this film a star for every time I laughed. The vast majority of the comedy is really lame, anyone can see the punch lines a mile off. The are two maybe three laugh out loud lines in the whole film. The storyline is pretty non existent and boring as hell. The graphical detail is absolutely crazy though. It looks like it cost an absolute bomb, looking at every thread on shrek's shirt covered in little bobbles of fluff and the hair on some of the characters is pretty mind blowing. However the film its self isn't funny and has no story. I'd say your better off going on youtube and watching the funny clips you can find, because there's not gonna be many and there's nothing else to see here.

The funniest thing about this movie, is that Justin Timberlake actually has the voice of a 12 year old boy.

Ocean's Thirteen
(2007)

Good film, good film.
Just got back from from watching this and I'd have to say it's probably the best film I've seen in about six months. It definitely cheered me up after that disappointing Spiderman sequel. Don't get me wrong Ocean's 13 is not quite as good as 11 but it's still a good watch (Big improvement on the second one). The absence of Catherine Zeta Jones and Julia Roberts was a bit of a surprise, but I doubt their presence would have improved the film greatly. The addition of the great Al Pacino was definitely a big positive and as usual he played his role well and brought a lot to the film. The action sequence were well done, there are quite a few funny segments in the film involving some pretty hilarious disguises. The camera work and techniques are excellent. The story was a big improvement on O-12 but I agree with what I read in another review, that it definitely lacked the suspense of the first one. Nothing really happened where the whole plan went to cock and they had to quickly come up with an even more ingenious plan or else all was doomed. It was more like, oh no somethings broken, what do we do? I know, lets buy a replacement, Phew! Apart from that, everyone played their roles fantastically, with the exception of maybe Eddie Izzard who I think was a little off character, which I found disappointing because I really enjoyed his short part in the O-12. In summary I'd say; Room for improvement, still a really good film, definitely worth the price of admission.

Spider-Man 3
(2007)

Why was this film released?
Worst Spiderman yet. The whole film just made me angry and disappointed. I can't say that it's a rubbish film, but compared to the other two, it's just plain horrible. The music is poor and in several places it's highly inappropriate. The action is quite standard, nothing really original and exciting. The effects are great, especially on sandman, but it's hard to appreciate them with the constant dodgy camera angles. For some reason the majority of the film is done with free hand camera work so the smooth flowing action scenes are a thing of the past. Venom isn't in it enough. The actions of the character are often pretty unexplainable. Dialogue is seriously cheesy. I don't know why it has been allowed to be released, it has ruined the series for me. I just wish someone would had watched it first and said "No. Not good enough. Go back and do it again."
