Movie Review: Despicable Me 3 7-3-17
In
the third installment from the hugely successful Despicable Me
franchise, Gru gets fired from the Anti-Villain League after failing to
catch former 80s TV star Balthazar Bratt (Trey Parker). Gru also
discovers he has a twin brother named Dru (Steve Carall, who also voices Dru), and he tells
Gru that their father was one of the greatest villains of all time. Dru
convinces Gru into going back into thieving again, but Gru is now a
father and a husband. Meanwhile, Balthazar Bratt wants to get revenge on
Hollywood for cancelling his show, and plans on destroying Hollywood with a giant robot.
Back
in April, I stated that I'm not the biggest fan of the Despicable Me
franchise. However, I tolerate them because my dad love the Despicable
Me movies. As for Despicable Me 3, the film is better than Minions, but
weaker than the previous DM movies. One complaint I have with the movie
is that there are four plots going on at once, and can be confusing at times: One of these is the
Minions going back into villainy and getting arrested.
I
also wished the girls, Margo, Edith, and Agnes, were older than in the
previous films, aged up by the very least five years. At least there's
some fan art of the girls if they became older. I personally wanted this
to happen because in Toy Story 3 and How To Train Your Dragon 2, the
characters became older than in the previous films.
Never the less, Despicable Me 3 is a thrill ride that the fans of the franchise will enjoy, but may be disappointing to some.
Rating: 3 stars out of 5
As
to which sequel this year was better (Cars 3 or DM3), I honestly have
to go with Cars 3. Despite not being a Cars fan, I honestly have to
choose Cars 3 because I feel at times, Despicable Me 3 tries too much to
remind us of the previous films, a similar problem Shrek Forever After
had. Cars 3, however, feels like its own movie, and serves as an apology letter for disappointing fans with Cars 2. However. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
