Despicable Me 3 (2017)

Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

A lot of fun.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Back again, in this 3rd Despicable Me film Gru and Lucy get sacked by the Anti Villain League for failing to stop the largest diamond in the world being stolen by Balthazar Bratt (a child star of the 80's turned super villain). Gru learns of his long lost brother Dru, somebody that's worlds apart but still managed to be a super villain in his own right. Teaming up they attempt to get revenge on Balthazar, while Lucy and the girls have their own adventures. The minions end up in jail and have their own issues to deal with. Another fun film with all the voices you've come to know across the trilogy. It's got the same beauty as the first two films and manages to further the characters development. The plot is a little weak compared to the first films. For me it feels like the concept is getting a little tired now, it's a decent watch, but I didn't laugh as much, nor did I care as much as in the first two films. I was more amused at Balthazar Bratt and the 80's references than the main story, but that's because I'm a product of the 80's myself. Having done 3 movies now, 4 if you count the stand alone Minions film, I get the impression that the series is coming to an end. It's still watch this if it was on repeat sometime, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. 6 out of 10.

This movie's villain is bar far the best and most entertaining out of all of the movies. In fact I wouldn't mind seeing a spin off or continuation of Balthazar Bratt. Even though my kids don't get the 80s references in the slightest way, they have found everything about this villain (music, costumes, weapons, and dance fighting) very entertaining.I'll be interested to see where they go with this franchise with the addition of Gru's brother and the change from Villain to hero but they managed to pull it off in this movie so I'm sure they'll find a way. This is probably my favorite movie out of the Despicable Me movie set, followed by 1 and then 2. Maybe I'm easily entertained or maybe the critics are too critical. I'm leaning more towards the latter since Ive found most critic's reviews to be off, at least for my taste. Also, I think kids movies reviews should also be based more on the entertainment factor kids get from it.

The 3rd was trying way too hard. They tried to feature the girls more as they should have, BUT it was forced. There is so much bad I could say about this but I am one to offer a solution.. I think this 3rd movie should have featured something from the girls point of view, like Agnes' dance or performing, and tie in a villain going after the dance school somehow or something with their school or summer plans! How fun. Maybe something is buried under their school or their playground at the park, introduce some new kids, maybe Gru adopts one more from the orphanage. To me, this would have been much more creative than saying that Gru had a twin. The first two were centered on Gru, a minions movie, and now this one with Gru having a twin?? NO. I didnt even finish this movie sadly and I love these characters. Please make it right in the 4th one if there is a 4th.

I absolutely loved the first Despicable Me movie. The second was just as good. But a third movie? Why ruin the series with a thrid movie when the other 2 were already good? I remember that I didn't really find this movie funny nor appropriate for kids under the age of 12. In the movie they mention the word "Boobs".Also, why and how did Gru go from being evil to a good guy in the movie?
