UnowPriceless hyped garbage

Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!

Aedonerre I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

paulclaassen Having enjoyed the first film, I eagerly anticipated watching this film. Uhm, unfortunately I was disappointed. This is definitely more for the younger demographic. I found some scenes downright silly. It only gets more interesting towards the end, albeit still silly. The minions steel the show...

Sean Lamberger Picking up right where the original left off, evil genius Gru has seen the error of his ways and transitioned into life as the single, adoptive dad of three young girls. The sudden reform has left everyone (an army of minions, a long-time collaborator and Gru himself) a bit stir-crazy, so he seeks new thrills as a turncoat, tracking and identifying his former rivals for a stuffy government agency. Illumination has leveled-up their equipment since the first film, which makes for a far more polished visual product, but the story is less lively and fuzzy than its surprising predecessor. Of course the minions are everywhere, getting the star treatment before their inevitable spin off, but the girls are relegated to watery secondary story lines and there seem to be a lot of missed opportunities. Gru's job with the g-men, for instance, seems like a ready-made setup for introducing all sorts of wacky new characters and enlarging the world, but instead it merely hones in on a single new villain and ventures no further. The introduction of a love interest is hesitant, overly convenient, and never really clicks. There's plenty of fun stuff for younger audiences, of course, and some of the sight gags are clever, but most parents will find themselves daydreaming through the bulk of this one.

zkonedog The first "Despicable Me" effort introduced audiences to the goofy, rambunctious Minions as well as the relationship between villain-turned-good guy Gru and his three little girls. The second movie plays to those same strengths and offers more Minion mayhem and more heartfelt moments.For a basic plot summary, "Despicable Me 2" sees Gru (voice of Steve Carell) recruited by secret agent Lucy (Kristin Wiig) to join the newly-formed Anti-Villain league. Though at first nonplussed by the offer and content to be just "Dad" to Margo (Miranda Cosgrove), Edith (Dana Gaier), and sweet little Agnes (Elsie Kate Fisher), Gru begins to feel the tug of adventure once again (as well as perhaps a bit of a romantic fling as well?!) and is quickly caught up in the world-saving game again.In terms of comedy and adventure, this movie provides it in spades! It's amazing that it took this many years of human history to think up such hilarious characters as Minions, as they can make even the most sourpuss among us crack a smile (and have most of us rolling in the aisles!). Their crazy antics are unrivaled in the history of animated feature films.There is also a nice little touch of emotion in the movie involving Gru finding a partner (or mother, as asked for by Agnes). I actually wish the movie would have focused on this movie, as a more developed and focused emotional aspect could have easily vaulted it to five-star status.Overall, though, "Despicable Me 2" is fine comedic fare for anyone who enjoyed the original. The girls might touch you, the Minions will have you laughing throughout, and Carell's Gru is such a crazy character that he is a joy to watch. A fun film for the entire family.

raqueltmnunes In Despicable me 2 Gru has now left his villain days and is focusing on contributing positively to Margo, Agnes and Edith's lives by being a parent and even attempting to run his own Jam business. He tries to live a normal life until Lucy who is apart of the Anti villain league approaches Gru to get involved in a new mission. When Gru declines the offer it is then evident that he has changed and now prioritises his family by being selfless, even though being a villain will always be apart of him. In the end Gru is able to save the day and balance his life and make everyone proud of him, even the unexpected.. his mother. This movie has humour and not only enjoyed by children but adults to.
