Just as HILARIOUS as the other DM movies...

Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2018

My kids & hubby LOVE Despicable Me (1,2, & now 3). I like it too, but not as much as they do... my favorite part is that if I let them watch the movie, it keeps them busy so I can clean the floor, do some laundry, etc. :)

DM3 is a great continuation of the other 2 movies & it makes sense... you know how some movie sequels come out & they don't make sense together?! This one DOES & it does NOT disappoint with HILARIOUS minion antics, adventure, & humor. Each one is just as good as the other, in our opinion. We were all cracking up & the kids wanted to watch it again... and again... and again. After round 2, I had to say no more for a while, but had I not stopped them, they would probably still be sitting there with glazed over TV eyes. Good things for moms, dads, etc. to prevent kids from rotting their brains & watching a movie for the 3rd time in one day.

GREAT family friendly movie withOUT all of the trash in many "family friiendly" movies out there!

We WOULD purchase this, though this time we rented it through Amazon Prime because we had sick kids & wanted to see something we had not all seen before without having to drive through snow covered roads to get a movie.

Not up to the First Two

Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2020

Despicable Me 3 is lacking something. As someone who loved the first two movies, I could buy the delusional former child star becoming a super-villain because it certainly fits the mold of the sort of cheesy over the top villain of the first two. But the family element of this movie just didn’t connect with Grew and Drew and seeming uncertain face and heel turns and it felt like they didn’t even need to go there. The endearing family element seemed way toned down as well.

That said, I did enjoy the 1980’s musically themed dance fight scenes and the Minions are the minions. But I didn’t really have the laugh out loud experiences that I had with the first two movies. Those moments are so rare when you reach a certain age that when they aren’t there, it’s unfortunate. I wish I could be more descriptive about where things went wrong for me, but I can’t be certain since the story itself wasn’t a bad idea, execution was lacking.

Missing the Belly Laughs....Let's Hope No Part 4

There was a lot missing in this 3rd foray into the realm of Despicable Me. It just wasn't anywhere nearly as funny as 1 or 2. It was just OK for me. I had belly laughs in the first two. That was seriously missing in this one. Many cut parts, but...well...let's hope there won't be a Part 4.

Of course if you like all the characters in the first two he'll love them in this movie too. The only thing about this one I didn't like was it seems like it was too rushed and they didn't spend a whole lot of time developing the characters.

The story was good it wasn't too bad, but they could have done a lot better of developing the story and implementing the minions. Course they do the same screwball stuff as they do in the other movies but it's just not as funny as the first two movies the minion seemed of take kind of a back seat in this one.

If they wanted to spend more time in a little more character development and more time on the script I think this would have been a better movie. If they do another one I hope they spend more time working on the script and involving the minions.
