Synopsis
More than a decade later, DreamWorks Animation presents a new adventure from the Shrek universe in which the fearless outlaw Puss in Boots discovers that his passion for danger and his indifference to safety have taken its toll. Puss only has one life left, he has already spent eight of his nine lives. To get them back, he will have to live one of the greatest adventure he has ever experienced: he starts an epic journey through the Black Forest looking for the mythical Last Wish in order to recover his lost lives. Also, with only one left, he will have no choice but to ask for help from his old partner and nemesis, the captivating Kitty Softpaws.
In their adventure, and much to their regret, Gato and Kitty will have the company of a ragged and always optimistic dog who never stops talking named Perro. The three heroes must manage to stay out of Goldilocks, the Three Bears gangsters family, Jack Horner and the terrifying bounty hunter The Big Bad Wolf.
Antonio Banderas, who once again plays the Puss in Boots, is magnificently accompanied in the original version by Salma Hayek (Kitty), Florence Pugh (Goldilocks), Olivia Colman (Mama Bear), Harvey Guillén (Perro), John Mulaney (Jack Horner) and Wagner Moura (The Big Bad Wolf) and Samson Kayo (Baby Bear).

- 8.0 VarietyPeter Debruge
By forcing Puss to contemplate his priorities, the sequel more than justifies its own existence, while paving the way for how his path meets the big green guy's.
Read - 8.0 The Hollywood ReporterFrank Scheck
Darker in tone but still extremely funny, the film, like so many of its animated brethren, falters when resorting to the frenetic action sequences seemingly designed for tykes' short attention spans.
Read - 5.9 The WrapWilliam Bibbiani
Puss in Boots isn't on a rousing adventure; he's performing the fairy-tale equivalent of grasping at miracle cures while he's dying from a terminal illness. And although the film is funny in fits…
