Reviewer notes
RecommendedDespite having state-of-the-art security, the world’s largest diamond is stolen from under the very noses of the anti-villain league and so that gets “Gru” and “Lucy” shown the door! They are not the giving up sort, though, and so set about planning to recover it from arch villain “Balthazar Bratt”.…
RecommendedA no-frills third installment of <em>'Despicable Me'</em>. I found the initial few scenes of <em>'Despicable Me 3'</em> to be solid, with a few chuckles chucked in there. However, from around minute 30 it loses all steam and ends up being a fine but uninspiring 90 minutes. The voice cast are alright, but the characters themselves aren't all that interesting.…
RecommendedThe 80s scene at the beginning was awesome and worth a watch. The rest was the traditional weird mess shared by all the other Despicable Me movies.
RecommendedTrusted family reviewers**It's a family time!** I'm not a fan of this film, except I always loved Minions, particularly their solo film before this one. That prequel was awesome, so much fun. But it's hard to believe, this franchise has already reached three films/parts. Yeah, the Minions helped to find its place among the animation fans, but in this film they were kind of ignored. That's the truth.…
RecommendedNothing will beat the first film. The originality fades with most sequels. Unfortunately this is more the rule rather than the exception. For the same reason, I hope they don't bother to create another "Rango". That was another fun and brilliant animation in my opinion. Kids will like it and by all means don't avoid it. Just don't have high expectations.
