'3' Is Not a Good Number for Movies?

Grimlock and I went to watch Shrek 3 last Sat, 9 June. I didn't find it as entertaining as the earlier parts. Guess it just ain't easy to keep ideas going, keep tickling funny bones and keep the story going. I'm sold on Shrek because I've a soft spot for underdogs and though Shrek is an ogre/giant, I find him so big on charms and so witty.

Grimlock picked up this ZoCard on Shrek 3. The title "The Wait is Ogre" has got me stumped. Can someone please explain to me what it is saying?

I had a good laugh over the four dumb beauties (from left); Snow White, Cinderella, Princess Fiona (nope, I'm not referring to her), Rapunzel and Sleeping Beauty. Over-glamourised in fairy tales, "larger than life" in Shrek 3.

It wouldn't surprise you that I'm drawn to this movie because of Puss in Boots, correct? He is in a close tie with Shrek for my favourite character.

More about Puss in Boots from the movie's website:
The most smooth and debonair tabby this side of Far Far Away, Puss in Boots is one fierce feline. He's an acrobatic cat with a smooth Spanish accent, fearless and unbeatable in combat - unless he gags on a hairball! He has the strength, bravery, and romanticism of Zorro, but in the body of a sweet little kitty cat.

Ever the Don Juan, he often gives Shrek the bachelor's point of view. Once offered a bag of gold in exchange for 'taking care' of Shrek, Puss confidently accepted the task. However, his encounter with Shrek didn't quite go as planned, and as a result the two became fast friends and allies. Shrek soon learns that Puss can be a canny cat to have around, and before you know it, Puss and Donkey are both vying for Shrek's attention. Should Puss' dazzling battle skills and smooth Spanish charm ever fail him, he has another way to get what he wants - he plays the helpless, wide-eyed kitty. Works every time!
