Although the final installment moved the Shrek character forward by motivating him to action in order to return his life to normal, the film seemed to lack the feel of a genuine final chapter. However, as none of the sequels really lived up to the magic of the original, this is probably the right time for Shrek to say goodbye.

在此次终结篇中，虽然史莱克必须为重返自己正常生活而奋斗，影片仍不像是传统意义上的最终回。但是，由于史莱克系列影片的每一部续集都无法与第一集中的魔力相媲美，这或许就是史莱克和大家说"再见"的绝佳时机了。

Perhaps those wonderful characters that we`ve come to love so much can now live happily ever after.

或许，那些深受大家喜爱的生动角色可以从此过上幸福快乐的日子吧！
