Movie Review: Despicable Me 2

One day a boy was strolling through a place of some kind and he stumbles upon a movie theater.

He checks to see what movies hey have out of curiosity.

When he does he sees that there’s a movie called Despicable Me 2 out.

He nods his head and walks away.

Of course he buys a ticket though because next to the movie it said Original Version.

Rating:  PG

Time: 98 min

Director: Pierre Coffin

Stars: Steve Carrel, Kristen Wiig

In Spain, they do not call Despicable Me, Despicable Me.

I don’t know why but instead they call it a different name that I will now translate into English.

In Spain, Despicable Me is called Gru 2: My Favorite Villain.

So they put the main characters name and also they put my favorite villain.

He’s not even a villain in this movie!!!

In the trailer it obviously shows that he is now working for this top-secret anti-villain league.

Well I can’t really blame them for it though they named the movie when the first one came out when he actually was villain.

But to move on to other stuff I have been looking at other people’s opinions on this film and some say that they like the first one better, and surprisingly some say that they like this one better.

It’s only surprising because most of the time, the original movie is better than the sequel.

I can’t think of any exceptions at the top of my head besides that I liked New Moon better than Twilight even though in the end, they both sucked.

But anyways, let’s get on to the review!

So Gru has stopped being a villain and has turned into the really boring normal person. (He still has his minions though!)

And so an anti-villain league hires him and Kristen Wiig together to find a bad guy and take him/her to JUSTICE!

So what was good in the movie?

Like in the first one, the best things about the entire film are the minions.

In the first one they were so funny and now that the producers see that they put a lot more effort into them.

And it works!

In every single scene that the minions are in they crack you up!

They are so funny and stupid and so unique!

The humor was good I guess.

For kids mostly, but I think that a couple of jokes applied to adults.

The art is getting better and better in every animation film.

I really liked the different character personalities in the film.

They were all great to watch and none made me want to strangle them.

But yeah that’s pretty much it.

So what was bad?

I thought that the kids in the movie were way underused.

In the first movie the kids were the movie.

They made the plot thicker and the humor funnier.

In this movie, they barely do anything!

If they were just removed from the film entirely, to me it wouldn’t have made the slightest difference.

Also I thought that solution to problem at the ending was bad and dull.

It was sort of like… “OH NO THERE’S SOMETHING BAD GOING ON!!! BUT DON’T WORRY! LUCKILY ENOUGH BEFORE ANY OF THIS HAPPENED I CREATED THE SOLUTION! YEAH!!!!!!”

That’s pretty much exactly how it goes.

But not just that though!

I also felt that of the big moments of the movie were done poorly but if I said which I would spoil it, so I won’t.

But all in all, the movie is really fun and if you have little kids than you should definitely bring them to this.

Score=7.0
