Reply to comment by EcstatMec in ‘‘Puss in Boots: The Last Wish’ Review: Antonio Banderas in Fine Form by Sofie-Forsberggg

Having seen it, I can tell you it’s not absolutely awful. I’d even say it’s pretty good

It's at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes right now. (Though there are only 8 critic reviews so far.)

Do you have any specific questions about it? I’d be glad to talk about it with you

How does it stack up against Shrek 1 and 2?

I’d rank the Shrek/Puss in Boots movies as follows: Shrek 2, Shrek 1, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, Puss in Boots 1, Shrek 4 (Forever After), Shrek 3.

I felt The Last Wish had more fairytale references than Puss in Boots 1 which made it feel more like it was in the world of Shrek. The new animation style is the biggest change and it’s going to be up to your personal taste. I really liked the new animation which looked like a combination of 3D and 2D (akin to Into the Spider-Verse) but it probably won’t be everyone’s cup of tea.

The story was very solid and even quite mature at times with Puss having to face his mortality. The one aspect of the film I didn’t love was the little dog who was clearly put there to sell plush toys to children, but even he served a purpose in the overall plot. I took my nieces who also enjoyed it. In terms of animated movies, I liked it enough to give it a 7.5/10 and I’d rate Shrek 1 8/10 and Shrek 2 9/10.

Hopefully that gives you some insight.
