Despicable Me 3 Review

Despicable M3 is a film directed by Pierre Coffin and Kyle Balda. Honestly speaking I am a fan of this series. I loved the first two films, the Minions spin off was also OK. I saw both the trailers of the film and loved them.

Plot: Gru faces off with a new villain named Balthazar Bratt and simultaneously also bonding with his long lost twin brother Dru.

Story and direction: Despicable Me franchise is the most successful one of the Illumination's production. And as I said before, I am a fan of the series. I saw the first scene and I thought, "Yes I am about to get a great film". But that was it. Yup. That was it. But I am not saying it was a bad film. Despicable Me has not produced a great villain since Vector (who was both funny and menacing). Balthazar is a very flat character. I was shouting to please give some character to it. But thank god for introducing Gru's brother. That portion was actually kind of good. I hoped the writers could have actually focused on that. Also the Minions were very small portion in the film. Yes. I know here Gru is the main person. But still..... Here Gru's mother and Dr. Nefario (non Existent in this film) who are also some great characters were not given scope. We have some very silly kind of subplots like Agnes trying to get a unicorn, Margo being forced into an engagement, etc... Even the ending left a possibility for the fourth film. If this film would have focused on the two brothers, it would have been great.

Favorite Scene: I guess it would be where the Minions go in a studio and sing a song in their Minion language. That was a great scene.

Verdict: This film is actually better than the Minions spin off. But yes, the first two were far better. I still am crossing fingers for a good fourth film.

I will go with 7/10.
