Mjeteconer Just perfect...

Steineded How sad is this?

MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

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.

adam-may-bower 'Despicable Me 3' is an unnecessary addition to the once-funny franchise. While the first two were great, Illumination Entertainment really should have stopped their. Alas, when a child's film becomes a commercial success, it is bound to be recycled into multiple following instalments. Sometimes this can work in some franchises, but others it just becomes tiresome. This is one of those franchises. While the humour in the film may still produce many laughs, it really is nothing more but uninspired gags borrowed from every other animated kids movie. It results in a film that is just noisy and overwhelming. The whole premise of having the main character as the villain with ridiculously funny motives, that made the first film so great, is now completely turned upside down and ultimately makes the character of Gru an annoying excuse of a character. The actual villain, Balthazar Bratt, was unlikable which resulted in the film being un-engaging as you don't support either the hero, or the villain. Despite all this negativity, this film still had great visuals and did make me laugh several times. It may be a great film for its target audience, but for the older members of the audience, it is just a noisy and unlikable film that you can't wait to be over.

eliotkeith The problem with continuing a franchise whether it be live action or animation is that the content dries up until all you are left with is a series of sequences joined together with little in the way of good narrative, to get people to the seats based on their knowledge of the previous installments. This is the problem with Despicable Me 3- apart from the need to make money there is no reason for this film to exist. Not all is bad though and whilst adults might want to skip this film, kids will probably enjoy it as much as the earlier films. (A fine family outing movie but nothing more than that)

nonslipshoes Despicable Me 3 is the third movie in the Despicable Me series. After the absolutely atrocious Minions movie, it made me wonder if this movie could stack up. And it's pretty good. Nothing that special, just...pretty good. It's not terrible in all means, but one of the movies main flaws is that it fails to explain key questions a viewer may have. For instance, it's never explained why Clyde is an actual robot if he was only intended for a show, and it doesn't explain how Dru knows all the girls names. The movie is split into one main plot focusing on Gru, Dru and Balthasar Brat (BB). The second is the Minions running away from Gru due to him not taking up villainy after being fired from his job. The third involves Lucy and the girls, where Lucy is trying to become a good mother. I liked the mother side plot and the main plot but the Minions plot seemed unneeded and only there for laughs, as all it leads to is them popping a giant bubble gum bubble. The movies presentation is fantastic, although it's strange how the lively city holding a festival suddenly goes quiet as Dru steals a lollipop. The plot is overall good. It's a movie where you can watch it without dieing inside. Worth a watch if there's people with you, but not so much on your own.
