It’s been eleven years since Antonio Banderas’ Puss in Boots last graced our screens in a surprisingly fun solo romp. Now the swashbuckling feline is back with the long-in-development Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. The Shrek franchise is still warmly remembered but has now been dormant for a long time and hype around this new entry has been markedly low.
Recommended VideosWell, as of last week, some critics have finally got their eyes on it and it’s sounding like Puss in Boots’ new (and possibly final) adventure is a must-watch and that it takes cues from a very unexpected source. The Last Wish is currently sitting at an impressive 92% on the Tomatometer (with a 98% positive audience approval rating), with one review describing it as “the Shrek franchise’s answer to Logan“.
It’s safe to say nobody saw this coming:

Underrated Tweet.
— Darth Garfield (@JackieBoi222) November 30, 2022Logan = end of Logan's story arc
this movie = end of puss in boots's story arc but better? idk
Yes, it’s real.
When I read "Puss in Boots is the Shrek franchise's answer to Logan" I had to check if it was real and…holy shit it actually is. https://t.co/oHP0XxE2WO

This movie is actually amazing though. I was thoroughly shocked by how dark it gets too. It’s an hour 30 try not to cry contest.

You may or may not be right. 👀
