(+) Yeah! (+)

"Shrek sucks. This spinoff makes me want more Shrek?"

I want to see the Puss in Boots movies, especially the last one with that wolf that furries are going apeshit over, but I feel like I need to watch the Shreck movies first to be able to appreciate them. That feels like a time commitment.

This is the third Puss in Boots movie, right?

Last Wish is the second Puss in Boots. There's only one before it. And while they reference Shrek movies and characters, they're perfectly cohesive on their own. Even the second one doesn't really require you to know anything from the first one.

Everyone won't shut up about it what are you talking about? I'm supposed to care about an American cartoon because a cat hyperventilates or whatever.

That surprises me. Between a conflict with Death himself and the word "last" appearing in the title, I was thinking it was the end of a trilogy -- like Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade was meant to be.

I agree with others saying The Last Wish had no right to be as good as it was. The first movie was very run on the mill that didn't really "subvert" fairy tale tropes, in fact it played it very straight. The second movie is leaps bound a better film in general. I really like the fact that the movie was able to include 3 different villain achetypes and for the most part worked. I think the 3 bears and Godilock story arc could've been fleshed out a little better (and that's really just a nitpick on my end), but Jack Horner and Wolf Death more than makes up for it. I really enjoy the fact that they made Perrito an actual likable character. Normally, the sidekick cute achetypes like him piss me the fuck off, but they manage to make him very likable in a funny and emotional way. I think I was the only one in the audience that laughed at this backstory. It was so mean spirited that it caught me off guard.

Have the same creative team who made this movie make the next Shrek film. Honestly, Dreamworks really needs to take advantage of this while Disney and Pixar films have been fairly lackluster lately.

Honestly, if I would of liked it, the hype probably killed it for me.

Id love to pretend I can see things completely objectively. But that movie has been put on such a high pedestal that it would be impossible to meet those expectations at this point. That's especially not good for a comedy movie for me. Since comedy is one the most subjective genre. You'll have me in my head like "Ok. That was funny...but not funny enough for all that praise". Maybe Im wrong. Ill watch it if it becomes easily accessible to me and my nieces are around

It's not the comedy aspects that get all of the praise though. I still say check it out when you get the chance. It's on Peacock, but you need to pay $5/month for that now.
