In-fact in may ways Despicable Me 3 is better than the original in that it improves its look-and-feel and provides a decent foil for once in the form of Trey Parker's Balthazar Bratt. It's not a particularly memorable film nor can it really hold its own against something like The LEGO Batman Movie (2017) but at least it's not unpleasant. Kids will probable be fine with it and it is enjoyable enough, but I don't think it's as good as the other three.Īs far as disposable sequels to kids films, Despicable Me 3 is pretty much on par with Cars 3 (2017). Most of the time the movie just jumps around to each one and it comes off as being unfocused. A Despicable Me movie really doesn't need this many plot threads. In all honesty I think there's more plots than The Dark Knight Rises.

Along the way we have numerous sub plots involving Lucy trying to be a good mom, the Minions fed up with lack of crime and going to jail (it's never specified how that happens), Agnes (Nev Scharrel) wanting to find a unicorn after hearing a legend, Bratt wanting to destroy Hollywood in revenge for rejecting him as a teenager, and the relationship between Gru and Dru. The master plan is to now steal a diamond from Bratt and hopefully be readmitted to the Anti Villain League. Gru manages to resist the urge for a whole 5 minutes. Dru attempts to get Gru back into villainy. Eager to get their jobs back Gru receives word that he has a long lost twin brother named Dru (Carell also) who invites him to his home in a country known as Freedonia (the same country that Groucho Marx ran in Duck Soup). The story is that Balthazar Bratt (Trey Parker), former 80s child actor turned super villain has eluded capture from Gru (Steve Carell) and Lucy Wilde (Kristen Wiig) for too long, and the new chief of the Anti Villain League isn't happy about it and fires them. It's not great, it's not bad, it's just average. It's a common curse with the third movie in most trilogies (assuming we don't count Minions.) The third movie is usually where it starts to wear off.
