I never liked the Puss in Boots character in the Shrek movies THAT much that I thought he would be given his own movie... I thought Donkie was more suited for that XD But so I thought little of this movie.. Also doing a movie to please your fans and to make money rarely do come out fine. You should do a movie because YOU want to. Not because other want you to do it.
What's the story? Well... I don't really know.. It was kind of a complicated story. That's probably why I liked it. I like those complicated stories that takes you to a twist you didn't think of. This movie takes a simple story and makes it complicated... Sort of XD
I should however point out that Shrek has NOTHING to do with this movie. When the movie began I was thinking: Ok.. Is this before or after he meets Shrek? But as the movie continued I thought: Or is this a completely own story without Shrek? This movie stands on its own! It has just borrowed the fairytales coming together. That's all.
That's what I'm gonna say about the story so, check it out to know the story XD
The characters were good. They held their character through the entire movie! I was really glad to see that! And they were really enjoyable.. Except for the two characters.... I have no idea what their names are, but the two with all the swines! Those characters were SO annoying! Mostly because what they do in the end! It's gonna be a little spoiler here so you who doesn't want to read it you can just go to the next section below. The characters did something in the end that was like... Come on! Give up already! It was just clear to me that they only served as obsticles in the end... Which made it seemed like they were just in the movie to be obsicles! It's when they're going to save their hometown by giving back the little goose to its rightful place. And these characters says: We want more than gold! We want the goose that lays the goldes eggs! .... Yeah.. I can get that but... Why did you just come up with it there? You had more oportunities to get the goose! You had BETTER oportunties!! So why did you decide that you wanted more in the middle of the climax ?! Those were the only characters that bothered me. The rest was good and enjoyable to watch.
The movie had two good things in it. The story and the characters. However... It had THREE things against it! ... Wait. LOGIC! Please! The important thing in the movie is the story and the characters. If you get both of these right then you have a good movie despite the flaws! With that said.. Lets look at the problems.
The beginning
I think the beginning irritated me because I was wondering what kind of story it was. If it was before the Shrek movies or after or if it was a story of its own. The one change I want to do here is... Puss in Boots is narrating in the beginning about his character..... Couldn't you say in the beginning "Also this is a story where I have or will not meet Shrek or the Donkie".. It's ONE line! I haven't seen the trailer for this movie.. I have only seen the posters so, maybe I was missing something from the trailer. If so... You shouldn't take for granted that everybody sees the trailer! And why I'm talking about this now is because a small detail that is left out can distract you from a whole movie! I let that question be rather early from the movie, but still! I'm an exception! Tell your audience if it's a sequal or midqual or prequal or don't have anything in common with the other movies the character was in! Also, it's a child's movie so that line wouldn't destroy the movie because it can be treated with humor! So.. NO EXCUSES!
BTW, that leads us to the other problem. The humor.
The first half of the movie... The humor in it was just a pain! Everytime they tried to tell a joke I rolled my eyes. It was so childish humor and bad humor! ... It got a little better the further the movie went (some of the jokes are hillarious!) but yeah... The majority of the jokes were just childish and unfunny and I just rolled my eyes at them. ... But they didn't have many hairboll jokes! They had one! But that was cleverly used so that was OK!
The last problem was the ending. ... Do I need to say that there's going to be Spoilers here? I do o.O? Ehum... Ok.. It's going to be spoilers here! So you who doesn't want to read about the ending can.. go.. Stupid..
Anyway! The ending! Yes.. I don't mean the climax or anything this is really about the last minute of the movie. After the climax and the sad trip of everyone who died in the battle.. The movie rushes to the end credits! .. What?! Did you overstep the time limit by 1 minute or something? And you had to rush it? ... You're not putting up your movie on YouTube! You can overstep the timelimit by a minute, I promise you. But yeah! After the battle everything is OK! The town has forgiven Puss for his mistakes in the past and he's treated like a hero! ... During the climax people said that he had to go back to the prison to pay off his dept! His "mother" even told him to not fight the guards so he could pay of his dept (to a crime he didn't even commit but anyway!). Also! He had escaped prison to battle and save the town.. HOWEVER! He DID commit a crime! He escaped prison.. But that's fine! He saved the town so he doesn't need to listen to the guards who wants to put him back.. It was only the one crime he commited. A hero doesn't go to prison...... S.T.U.P.I.D! So yeah... They did want a happy ending but in the same time they didn't.... That's what happens when you do a movie to please your fans! You stop thinking!
Although... It was a pretty good movie and I think I will see it again.. Probably. .. Maybe.
