There is a lot to like here, not least Ray Winstone’s Papa Bear. The forests are Skittle-coloured. The set pieces are wild and kinetic. But it is Banderas’s star power that saves the day.

Kids are going to love it because it’s fun and they’ll be able to spot the different nursery rhyme characters. This adult loved it because it’s funny as hell and the performances were great across the board.

With an excellent cast and style, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish is one gorgeous and dynamic fractured fairy tale.

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish brings a playful quality to the animated feline as well as a deeper message. When it comes to long-delayed sequels it’s wise to be careful what you wish for, but overall the film manages to nimbly land on its feet.

How bland and forgettable this film is, without in the smallest way harnessing the real performing power of Banderas, Colman, Pugh, Winstone et al.

I don't even know where to start! Somehow, Dreamworks took the medicore first movie, and created this sequel, a decade after the fact, and made something that felt, honestly, like a breath of fresh air for animated cinema as a whole. This movie took a huge risk, with so many different characters, so much distance from the first movie and the Shrek series, but every risk this movie took, it stuck the landing PERFECTLY. This is a masterpiece, and one of my favorite movie, even nearly a year later. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you just might cheer, this is up there with some of the greatest films ever made.

Entertaining story, but the graphics and animation were horrible! If I wanted to watch anime...well I never want to watch anime. I feel robbed paying to watch this because it was all anime, especially the action scenes.

Charming, but slightly overrated film. Puss in Boots 2 is a fun and pretty film, well-pace dand with a good, heartfelt message. But it doesn't quite live up to the rave-reviews in my opinion. The humor dropped off rather quickly and the emotional core didn't quite hit home. It works, but not quite as well as the reviews led me to expect.
