The Ghost of Lord Farquaad (2004)

People are voting emotionally.

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Shrek 4-D is a newly opened ride at Universal Studio's in Orlando Florida and I believe also Universal Hollywood.You are taken into a room prior to entering the movie theatre and are given a brief overview of what happened in Shrek, the original movie. The attendant in the room continually threatens your with a flogging. This is fun the first time you see it, but by the third time, it is pretty tedious.I do not normally like 3D, the effect makes me feel sick and I tend to have to keep taking my 3D glasses on and off, yet I eventually managed to sit through the whole of this ride with my glasses on. So where does 4D come into it? This is where you get squirted with water when donkey sneezes, your chair moves in time with the action and you get to feel lovely `spiders' running under your legs.Shrek is an excellent ride, worthy of several attempts, regardless of age. However my favourite Universal ride is still MiB!

Shrek 4-D is a new ride/show at Universal Studios in both Florida and California. A follow up to the original movie, this short film focuses on what happened after the wedding, when the dead Lord Farquaad has returned from the dead, and ready to wreck Shrek and Fiona's honeymoon. Many of the original and loved characters from the first movie are back including Donkey, the Gingerbread man and Pinocchio.The 4-D part of the name focuses on the fact that the movie is in a new dimension, your seat moves, it's in 3-D and for example if someone splashed in a puddle then you would get sprayed with water.This is a fantastic ride, it's really enjoyable, although the que was awfully long... It was a nice change from all the other rides in the park. If you liked Shrek then you should like this.

I was really excited of seeing this, but came out a little disappointed. The animation is breathtaking (Like the waterfall) and the 3-D is pretty good, but the jokes feel strained and there are one too many 3-D cliches. I also didn't like the fact that Farquaad came back as a ghost.But I did like the first part where your in the little torture chamber with the 3 little pigs, Pinnochio, The Gingerbread Man and the magic mirror. The rest is cheesy. But I'm sure the little kids will like it (My little sister did) so I guess that's all that matters.6.5/10

This ride isn't half bad. Though it tends to reuse jokes from the film, it's still got cool fx and you feel the action (when Donkey sneezes, for example, the audience is sprayed). It's not the best ride at Universal- that's of course Spider-Man. But it's fun if you can avoid the long lines.
