I think the humor was just enough to entertain, and the storyline was just enough to entertain. This movie brought a little more than I expected...a biography, of sorts, of Puss in Boots. The 3D effect wasn't mind-blowing, at all. For me, the movie was entertaining and delivered enough to have me feel at the end that my $9.50 for the experience was worth it. Once.… Expand

I was pleasantly surprised that there were no Shrek tie-ins or references and the Sergio Leone and Quentin Tarantino homages were well done. All in all, not horrible, but certainly not the best animated film of the year.… Expand

The addition of the Humpty Dumpty character is a mistake and leaves Puss to carry the entire film. Puss in Boots, though entertaining, is a missed opportunity indeed.

It took a different take on the Shrek world and gave us a decent action/adventure flick. While it times it can be fun and charming some slow parts and the lack of much for an older audience hold it back from being spectacular. However, the films action and adventure feel and somewhat unpredictable story, at least for me, make it a bit better than Shrek 4. If you are looking for something to show the kids that is fun and family friendly, excluding some subtle adult humor, Puss in Boots not a bad rent just do not expect to go gag a over it the way your kids will.… Expand

Puss in Boots is funny, eye-catching animation but somewhat missing. "Adult entertainment." It's for the kids, really work, but don't bring a date. It lacks of emotion.

Puss in Boots feels like Shrek 4. Both movies had great visuals and good action, but their stories felt somewhat empty. Puss in Boots however, does have a slightly better ending than Shrek 4.

I've been expecting much more than what I've seen. If you have watched the trailer, then you can notice that all the jokes were in it (that is to say ... 3 jokes !), so it's a serious failure for what is to be a comedy movie.

I understand that it's meant to be a kids movie but every scene in this movie is silly, why couldn't the movie be like Shrek where it's silly enough for kids to enjoy but serious enough for adults to enjoy too.

When one character dies (I'm not saying who) I didn't care because throughout the whole film he had been annoying. Puss In Boots is enjoyable if your under 12 but if your an adult.......get a babysitter to take them instead.… Expand

I don't know if it is just a bit weaker or a good movie and I had too high expectations. I expected more storywise, humorwise and a better use of the characters.

I expected more storywise, humorwise and a better use of the characters. Puss on Boots was a remarkable addition to Shrek 2 and became easily a fan favorite and reoccurring character in further Shrek movies. So it was just a matter of time before he got a spin off movie. For those who don't have seen the Shrek movies. Puss on boots voiced by Antonio Banderas is a badass adventurer, womanizer (or kittennizer?) and conniving fighter. He has a heart of gold but also some flaws that can be exploited. In this movie he is on an adventure with an old childhood friend and a new flame. They want to find the magic beans from Jack and the beanstalk to find a huge treasure. The story is good but nothing special or super original. I missed some of the respectless humor and parody of the Shrek movies. The humor also works most of the time and I should not criticize anything here but like I said I expected more. The characters are enjoyable and I would have wanted to see more of them. The presentation is excellent as always. They have a superb cast of voice actors with Antonio Banderas, Zach Gailifianakis and Salma Hayek for the main characters. I will praise their performance. The soundtrack is good. Overall I see that many praised this movie and think that it is good and I had to high expectations. However it was a solid experience and enjoyable.… Expand

Despite spawning from Shrek, Puss in Boots manages to breed it's own world with it's very own characters. They are very familiar characters but the take on the fairy tales is original and a lot of fun. The script is tightly woven and links together well giving an emotional backstory that is worthy of the required character arcs. The animation is as solid as you expect from Dreamworks as is the A-list voice cast. It is potentially Humpty Alexander Dumpty that steals the show here who is well voiced by Zach Galifianakis. There are stumbles, especially after the halfway mark where it all threatens to fall to pieces but the final act does bring it back on track despite not hitting the initial laugh count. There are laughs, action, fairy tale and darkness and all comes together to make a thoroughly enjoyable film. Shrek it isn't quite but it certainly beats some of the poorer animation efforts.… Expand
