Well Deserved Praise

An action-packed slog

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

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.

Okay fine I'll admit it I'm a big Despicable Me fan and I love minions, don't judge me!I thought both of the first two Despicable Me movies were fantastic and to a lesser extent enjoyed Minions (2015) so logically I was going to enjoy this, but did I?Well it has the same charm, it has the great voice talent, it has a stellar soundtrack and it has minions! What is there to dislike?Well I don't dislike it but truth be told it's not on par with the other movies, I don't know quite what it was but I just wasn't feeling it this time as a lot of the jokes missed their mark, the minions took a backseat and the twin brother aspect of the plot was a tad weak.Regardless Despicable Me 3 is a lot of fun for all the family complete with lots of jokes that the parents will appeciate and a great retro 80's soundtrack. Being a big South Park fan I really appreciated the work put into this by Trey Parker, he's a multi-talented fella as demonstrated here.The franchise still has life in it and hopefully won't be going away anytime soon.BANANA!The Good:Great soundtrackSame ol'charmTrey ParkerThe Bad:Story is weaker than previous filmsThings I Learnt From This Movie:Giant titan mechs can be made by one single person in a matter of daysTrey Parker needs more voice workI want a uni-goat!If she doesn't get fluffy back in the next movie I'm rioting.........awkwardly..........by myself

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

While there are several interesting things going on at a rapid fire rate, there seems to be no real center to this thing. Even in an animated film, we want a story and characters that we recognize. The animation is awesome and I enjoyed the Mean Kid actor and his adult incarnation. I quickly became bored with the minions. They have no soul or interest to me.
