Saw this yesterday at Wimbledon. It was a nice surprise to find popcorn on our seats. Thankfully, I had brought a backpack so I managed to take a few more bags with me for the following screenings (we went to 3 yesterday).

I was also annoyed that an interview with bits of the film was shown before the screening. I thought the film was much better than Shrek 3 but not as good as the first 2. I quite liked the alternative reality, which made it possible to reinvent the characters and introduce some funny new ones. 8.5/10

Totally agree - Quite good but just missed the mark for me. a 7.5/10 from us.

Went to see this yesterday with my children at the metrocentre.....wondered why we had to be there for 10am for a 11am start.

Free face painting being the answer.....My little one had his face painted a lovely green shrek colour and had shrek tattoo's on each arm! I too had a lovely shrek tattoo with girlie gliter on too! They did try to tempt me to a face tattoo but i managed to resist knowing we would be goibng shopping after the screening! I did however encourage some other film goers to get a tattoo! lol

Free "Ogre Bogie" green popcorn! (or so my little one called it much to his delight! Thankfully not bogie flavoured!

This was all our first time for a 3D film and we all thorughly enjoyed it!
Fab film.....overall experience of cinema, atmosphere, film....GOOD GOOD and GOOD!

Made for a lovely fathers day and felt very privy to be able to obtain tix for such a film!! o/ o/ o/

So you did traipse all the way to West London? I changed my mind and gave my tickets to merryberry, and went to see Karate Kid instead - decided to go to the nearer cinema!

But did see a few people leaving Empire yesterday with their Shrek goodie bags. No one won tix from here then?

Yup I got up at the crack of dawn and schlepped to Wimbledon, glad I did, it was a really good movie, I liked it better than Toy Story. I'd already seen KK last Thursday, and much as I liked that I don't want to see it again so soon!

Don't think anyone from here won that Shrek competition for the central London venue plus hotel.

You know, after seeing how casually the cinema people treated attendance at the Toy Story 3 screening, I think if we had tried, we would have probably got into the Shrek screening as well!

So true!

I was shocked at the indifference shown by the cinema staff. Didn't realise Shrek was playing at the same time!
