Stephenie Meyer's team did a fantastic job in bringing this story to life in this last installment. The theatre was full to capacity and completely engaged - even through the rolling credits! I really loved it and my husband enjoyed it as well- my husband didn't read the books but still felt the story finished up nicely. The "twist" had the theatre gasping, cheering, and totally enraptured. A must-see for anyone who's a twihard or passing fan. Go see this!!!
Pros well paced, great story, kristen shows she can act - a little, humor more present
Cons baby graphics were creepy
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Must See!

Fantastically Action-y, GREAT animation, Very lovable characters. The only downside may have been the forgettable songs... but they were still performed well. Would definitely see again. My 3-yr-old was GLUED to the screen for the whole show and was singing and reacting out her favorite parts! So happy to have such a fun princess (and male lead) to add to the Disney Princesses group!
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Great Beginning of the End!

from a reader's standpoint, I give this an B+ for some random plot holes and brief mentions of major plot lines-- but from a movie standpoint, this was great! There is a lull in the middle (that was also present in the book) where the aimless wandering becomes a little boring, but is visually beautiful. Once the action happens, though, it keeps you on the edge of your seat!
With a different shooting technique, it makes you feel that you're right there fighting alongside the threesome! And can I just say how thrilled I am that the entire cast is made up of the original players!
One more to go to close up the series... I might have to go see it all again!

Missed Opportunity

We were very disappointed in the "Final Shrek".
There were so many things they could have done with the characters, and instead, they phoned it in with a boring and overdone "It's a Wonderful Life" story.
All of the mildly funny parts were overplayed in the previews and commercials, so they weren't funny when seen in context. We want to see the journey that Shrek and his friends have to take! The music was gone from this movie! They could have done a lot more with the family dynamic by aging the kids, so we could see how they turned out.
Overall, it was a disappointment... I won't even be adding this to my dvd collection.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

Wonderful Experience

I have seen these movies too many times to count, so I had become numb to how awesome the animation really is. 3D enhanced everything, and it was wonderful to see these on the big screen again! I noticed small details in 3D that I hadn't noticed in my hundreds of times watching this on DVD. My 2 1/2 year old had a hard time sitting through both movies--which is understandable-- but she was still able to watch the movies without the glasses on! 3D animation has come such a long way! Thank You Disney for another great Toy Story Experience!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
