Inadvands Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess

DipitySkillful an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

JokerMichel I can't understand why people love this movie so much I left the theatres at the middle of it I couldn't find anything interesting in it , not funny , not entertaining... maybe kids would love it , I don't know

Neil Welch Gru is fired from the Anti-Villain League for his failure to capture child-star turned villain Benjamin Bratt, and Lucy also leaves as a gesture of solidarity. The Minions quit, because Gru refuses to return to villainy. Gru discovers he has a wealthy and successful long-lost brother Dru, the white to his black, but it remains to be seen whether the brothers will get on with each other.After two previous movies and a Minions stand-alone, we pretty much know what to expect from the Despicable Me Universe. A lot of knockabout slapstick humour, imaginative and funny animation, excellent voicework, an emphasis on family, and a plot which sets Gru's despicable tendencies against more important values. And that's exactly what we get here. So what makes number 3 different from what came before?Two things. The first is that Steve Carrell gets to do Dru as well as Gru (not the easiest of things to say. Fortunately, I'm typing it, not saying it). You can hear the fun Carell is having, especially when the two brothers pretend to be each other, fooling nobody at all.The second is Trey Parker, playing Benjamin Bratt exactly as if he was a South Park character ie. miles over the top. Now it may seem like foolish to point out something over the top in a film which has hundreds of little yellow idiots in it. But the main characters usually play the voices straight, which contrasts nicely with the outrageous visuals. However, Parker's voice performance here is absolutely perfect.There is quite a lot of plot here, and the Minions are sidelined somewhat, but as a result they are all the more welcome when they do show up. And, as usual, they are a hoot. There are loads of sight gags, especially centred around dancing. Many are blink-and-you'll-miss-'em,so keep your eyes peeled.The 3D is pretty good.This is fun, the kids will love it, and I liked it too.

Pjtaylor-96-138044 When you have to bring a long lost twin brother (with the same voice actor, no less) into the fray, it's a sure-fire way to tell your narrative has run out of steam. Yet 'Despicable Me 3 (2017)', which clearly suffers from the aforementioned issue and even has to resort to finding increasingly abstract ways to shoehorn in the now irrelevant minions, also has arguably the best villain of the three, a grown-up child-star who's motivations are exaggerated but believable, and a climactic battle that actually involves some proper slapstick fisticuffs, for once. Still, it's all surface and just another excuse to make a bunch of juvenile jokes that play only to the youngest of the audience and further accentuate its cartoon aesthetic and sensibilities. The plot truly comes second here, as some fairly nice character elements are discarded just as quickly as they are introduced, and the whole affair once again unfolds without any real audience engagement. 5/10

sergelamarche This one is probably the best so far. The main character looks a lot like a vilain in the old Spirou and the fast submarines also. The animation is getting even better it is smashing. The comedy is quite funny but not super hilarious. Excellent overall with great ideas. Reminds me of the Zorglub series also.
