MacGruber and Shrek

I saw MacGruber hoping it'd be one of those intentionally dumb movies that's actually quite entertaining. Unfortunately, it's just intentionally dumb. It does have a couple of nice laughs and some silly moments, but just not quite enough for my taste.




I'll admit, I don't think the world needed yet another installment of Shrek as it is. The filmmakers must have sensed this very same notion because they cleverly gave us a fourth Shrek that feels like a first Shrek. Shrek Ever After puts a nice spin on the characters we've come to know so well. While it isn't as entertaining as the first Shrek (or second, in my opinion), it is leaps and bounds better than the third, which is all I really wanted.

did the 3D seem necessary for the film? or was it more of a gimmick to make stuff fly at your face now and then?

I'm not sure 3D is ever necessary. I saw it in 2D and it was more than adequate.
