Puss in Boots: The Last Wish: Review

 Puss in Boots: The Last Wish was well worth the 11 years that it took to make this sequel, and it is easily my favorite movie in the Shrek Franchise.

The story line in this movie was very witty, and well written. I loved the way the story was handled, and I was also really glad that the movie did not get bogged down by bad pacing. The story also had a lot of good themes, and plenty of heart to it.

The voice cast was outstanding! Antonio Banderas still sounded great as Puss in Boots, even though it has been 11 years since the last film. Salma Hayek, while sounding like she had aged in the past 11 years, was still charming as ever as Kitty Softpaws. Florence Pugh was perfect as Goldilocks, even if it was hard to tell it was her because of the fact that she was using her natural British accent and not her fake Russian one LOL.  John Mulaney as "Big" Jack Horner stole the show!

The new characters were amazing. Goldilocks and the three bears were more entertaining than I expected them to be. "Big" Jack Horner was no doubt the best character in the movie. His one-liners were drop dead hilarious. I was shocked that Jiminy Cricket was in the movie, and man did he have some great scenes as well.

In terms of a sequel, I have heard that a 5th Shrek movie is in development. If that is true, I really hope that Kitty Softpaws is in it. I am also wondering how they are going to top "Big" Jack Horner, that guy was the best villain in the franchise! I am so excited to see how they proceed!

Out of 4 stars I would give it...
