This moggie is dead & deceased - it has expired and has ceased to be; they are truly flogging a dead cat; after the Third & Fourth Shrek fiascos, (what WAS the point of Number 4?) they really should have known better, what a puss-take, no more lives, time to visit the vet and jag Dreamworks out of our misery.................(if you can't get away with such lines at Christmas, when can ya???????????????).

Haven't seen it; probably will. Two stars in-expectation.

Frankly, it's a far better movie than it deserves to be (I was 100% not looking forward to this and was dragged along by family--now I'm thankful they did). Cute, funny, fun, and almost makes you forget how bad the previous Shrek drek was.

7/10 -- worth at least one look.

Way better than I was expecting , not all of the jokes worked, but they didn't need to as this was an action movie first comedy second. Loved all the spagetti western riffs. Even little moments like Jack and Jill discussing having a baby were brilliant. Solid three stars, possibly four

It isn't deep or groundbreaking, but what it lacks in profundity Puss in Boots more than makes up for with an abundance of wit, visual sparkle, and effervescent charm.

This was nothing at all the dissapointment I expected it to be. Really didn`t expect too much of it on forehand (it being a spin-off and all) but I like it. Of course the story is predictable but it was well worked out, the characters were (again) predictable and the humor was good.
Of course it wasn`t on par with the first two Shrek films but this is a fun film nonetheless.

6,8/10

After buying the DVD on Friday, must admit I wasn't expecting much - it was just basically to coo and aww over an animated cat. Why yes, I am a mental cat lady. But I found this surprising entertaining.

The story, whilst not top-notch, was good and enjoyable. As mentioned the voice cast worked well and the animation was great.

3.5/5 for me.
