travisluken This movie's villain is bar far the best and most entertaining out of all of the movies. In fact I wouldn't mind seeing a spin off or continuation of Balthazar Bratt. Even though my kids don't get the 80s references in the slightest way, they have found everything about this villain (music, costumes, weapons, and dance fighting) very entertaining.I'll be interested to see where they go with this franchise with the addition of Gru's brother and the change from Villain to hero but they managed to pull it off in this movie so I'm sure they'll find a way. This is probably my favorite movie out of the Despicable Me movie set, followed by 1 and then 2. Maybe I'm easily entertained or maybe the critics are too critical. I'm leaning more towards the latter since Ive found most critic's reviews to be off, at least for my taste. Also, I think kids movies reviews should also be based more on the entertainment factor kids get from it.

OneEightNine Media Yup. Ten or twelve minutes. That's right. I stopped watching after less than a quarter into this film based on three things; 1. I didn't laugh or have a spark of interest during the previous mentioned time interval of viewing. 2. The first two films of the series are overrated as funk. 3. Time is too precious to waste on a lackluster cash grab.

SnoopyStyle Balthazar Bratt (Trey Parker) had been a child star portraying a lovable villain in the 80s. After losing his job, he decided to become a villain for real. Gru (Steve Carell) and Lucy (Kristen Wiig) stops Bratt from stealing the world's largest diamond. When the AVL change leadership, they get fired. The Minions abandon after Gru refused to revert to villainy. Gru is told that he has twin brother Dru who is a pig tycoon on the island nation of Freedonia. Dru reveals their late father's super villain persona and wants Gru to teach him the ways of a villain.I still like the characters despite this less-than-stellar outing. It's shocking that the movie without credits is no more than 80 minutes. This feels like a rushed job. I even like Bratt. If not for the love of these characters, I would consider this a failure. As a character, Dru holds some interesting promise. For that promise to be realised, he needs to turn evil. In fact, that should be the plot of this movie. Once Dru is introduced, that turn becomes fully expected and it should be executed sooner rather than later. Despite liking Bratt, I would prefer putting him in cold storage and first developing a better story for Dru. This is a misstep in franchise management.

vciccarello I absolutely loved the first Despicable Me movie. The second was just as good. But a third movie? Why ruin the series with a thrid movie when the other 2 were already good? I remember that I didn't really find this movie funny nor appropriate for kids under the age of 12. In the movie they mention the word "Boobs".Also, why and how did Gru go from being evil to a good guy in the movie?
