Actually, for the most part, I wouldn't bother watching the third and fourth movies. The first two are a must-see, especially the latter, which I consider the best of the series. In any case, yeah, you should watch them before watching the other two. "Shrek the Third" was terrible, and "Shrek Forever After," although an improvement over its predecessor, doesn't match the level as the first two.

That's what I heard. That's the reason I haven't watched the 3rd or 4th yet. I've seen the trailer. Maybe in the future when I have more time. Thanks for the insight!

Shrek 1 is the best.For that matter many sequels which try to cash on the success of the original first ones are not that good.

Do you mean Shrek 4, the new one that is out? And if so, I think it's best to watch the movies that came before it before watching the new one that's out. Just because it gives you more insight on the character and what they've been through. I will tell you though that, while I loved the first movie, I was not a fan of the third movie at all.

oh, yah, i'm talking about 4. I think I've watched the last half of 1, but haven't watched 2 and 3. And that was so looong ago. Maybe I'll watch 1,2 and 3 then, so i'll appreciate 4. some movies, you could watch the latest ones ahead of the others coz they're kinda independent from each other. thanks! (i'm asking, coz when i watched the harry potter series, it was in a jumbled fashion - i watched 3 first. so a lot of things had to be explained to me during the movie just so i could catch on hahah. i wouldn't want that to happen again.)
