Review of Puss in Boots: The Last Wish (2022) by Werten25 — 28 Apr 2023

This film took a good while to come out, and the wait was definitely worth it. Here, Dreamworks have given us what might possibly be the best thing to come from the Shrek franchise. The Last Wish is an absolute amazing film, especially given it takes a more mature tone whilst still having willingness to be funny at the same time.

I nearly teared up at the scene where Goldilocks looks at the memory of her first being adopted by the three bears. I can’t even remember the last film that did that to me. The fact that a bunch of side characters had an interesting plot that was also relevant to the main storyline shiws that they clearly knew what they were doing.

I was close to taking a point off because I felt Kitty Softpaws spent quite a lot of the film being a hypocritical jerk who chews out Puss for being arrogant when she’s no better, but I guess she does improve in the end. The moral of the film is also a very good one too - we’re all going to die someday, but that’s not a bad thing; life your life to the fullest to ensure it is good whilst it lasts.
