Hey the aliens are advanced but there no miracles workers

I hear Shrek 7 is unimaginably bad, like, enough to almost kill your love for the Shrek franchise.

Shrek 8 however is a big return to form and where the franchise makes a big turnaround that brings Shrek to the glory days of Shrek 2. Shrek 9-12 are just fine though. Not Shrek 3 bad, but at least Shrek 4's "Meh, it's serviceable".
