PodBill Just what I expected

Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Executscan Expected more

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

niccindal 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.

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.

jackwolf-77755 The first movie in the series was alright. I'd probably give it a six out of ten. It's not exactly bad, but it's not even close to good either. Second movie started to take risks with dumb ideas that ultimately flopped. Probably a five. That brings us here, to the third installment, which I'd give a three. It could work if done better, but it fails on several accounts. It could probably be worse, but it'd take some effort. The first problem that shows up is the antagonist. He's not right for a few reasons. A Hollywood actor who lost his series when puberty hit. The first problem is, if the series was popular enough, they'd make a sequel series that works with this. Then we cut to him now, and he's a rich super genius who's got technology years ahead of the time, an inconsistent trait through the entire series where the important characters were trying to make profits through criminal means when they had more advanced technology than anyone else that they could patent and sell. We also hear his phrase, taken from his show to be used for laughs, but coming from a grown man, "I've been a bad boy" comes off as creepy and, to some, maybe even lewd for a kids' movie. From here we go on with a generic scene. It's not good, it's not bad, but kids will enjoy it. Then we get to my least favorite type of humor, awkward humor, except it's worse now because Gru is completely naked, hanging by bubble gum, floating in front of a window and trying to lighten the mood. This comes off as nothing but awkward. We then continue on to see our first plot point. Gru and the girl, whose' name I forgot because the characters are bland, get fired by a new owner to the criminal organization despite coming closer than anyone else to saving the the item being stolen. This could be done for some interesting things, but all it does is provide a hollow justification for a moral shift later on that, ultimately, isn't even the cause of the shift. It then goes on to Gru trying to survive without a job even though he has the before mentioned tech, and recieves a letter to meet his brother, Dru. Upon asking his mother about this, we find out that she was cruel to Gru to try and stop him from becoming a villain. The problem with this is that this is a lie, she was just cruel and put him down, there was nothing evil about child Gru. Then we meet Dru, which is a terrible reskin of Gru that doesn't come off as an alternate Gru but rather comes off as a gay stereotype. Except there's nothing else homosexual about him, leaving immediate questions as to what the character is. Then we find out that Gru's family has villainy in its lines, which amounts to nothing. At this point the forgettable tangle of pointless plots, like intelligent girl eating some cheese because her mother thought it was a good idea and getting tangled in a "romance" she doesn't like and cute girl going off to find a unicorn. At some point we reach an infiltration scene with a Gru-Dru sixty-nine thing that's probably supposed to look like Yin and Yang, but would sail over most kids' heads and disturb most mature viewers. We then get into a generic escape scene with a rip-off of Megamind's flying robots in the form of flying dolls, then reach a defiance of logic as the antagonist flies in and catches them disguised as the wife of Gru, apparently having bound and gagged her, made a disguise of her, and stealing the plane all while Gru and Dru escape over the course of a few minutes. Then we get to the climax where the antagonist has a giant doll robot from his TV days, in which he plans to use the diamond he stole to laser the city and use bubble gum to send it into the air. The motivation behind this is unclear. His robot gets foiled by Gru and Dru after some defiance of the established rules with the bubble gum. The movie ends of with Dru, who the entire time has been wimpy, useless, and unlikable, successfully stealing things from Gru so that he can be the new villain, a plot point which makes no sense at all. Gru was bland as always, I can't remember many of the plot points because they went absolutely nowhere, the rest of the characters were simple, and Dru, the biggest new character, was unlikable and useless the entire time, making us agree with Gru and the hate he spews rather than hoping for some sort of apology scene.

theguywill The film is one of the worst I have seen in a long time. I mean the concept it's self is so stupid. Gru meets his twin brother Dru. It sounds like a fucking joke. With brings me to my next point it isn't funny at all, you can't even laugh about how bad it is because it has reached that point where their is no possible way of looking at the film that you can find anything enjoyable about this film. The animation is so lazy they reuse every thing all the house and the extras, everything. I despise this film and anyone who found anything to enjoy about it.
