When a criminal mastermind uses a trio of orphan girls as pawns for a grand scheme, he finds their love is profoundly changing him for the better. Despicable Me mixes laughs, action and lots of Spy stuff in a way where it works perfectly. First of all the whole plot with the Moon sounds ridiculous but on screen it works so freaking well done and packed alongside with the chemistry between Gru and this 3 little girls it makes for a real heartwarming animated flick. It's not a movie that was meant to win Oscars or last a life time but it has some great messages for kids and terrific humor plus lots of minions doing their minions stuff that seem to work. (A+)
Despite its many flaws, this is a fun and entertaining movie. Especially if you are a child.Animation - The animation in this movie is very lazy and simplistic. It is full of continuity errors. I know that this is a cartoon, but its like the animators are holding up big middle fingers to the very concept of proportion. Characters - Though a bit simplistic, the characters are fun and interesting. The voice acting is decent. There are a lot of inconsistencies with the characters, but pretty much everything in this movie is inconstant. Plot - This is a fun dumb movie with a few holes. Nothing too bad. Its entertaining. Comedy - Overall the movie is pretty funny. Some of the jokes work better than others. Logic - If you like watching movies with constant logic that create rules within the universe and are coherent - then skip this movie. It doesn't get as bad as some of the later movies, but it is pretty nonsensical.
Probably the major asset in my perspective of Despeciable Me are, engaging narrative and concrete plot. Universal's this animated is full of pure gems. The humor is rich thorough the movie. Steve Carell did a likable work. One thing impressed me! How 5 peoples managed the most creative section of the film? Two Directors (Coffin-Ranaud), One story writer (Pablos) and Two screenplay writer (Paul-Daurio) are those guys. Well, sometimes population even create a good thing. By the way, Coffin's voice-arts are praise able. Its worth watch, you can watch it twice with lots of ease.
One of the funniest animation movies I have ever seen, from Steve Carrel's awkward humour to the minions Mr.Bean type sounds.The movie follows the lovable villain Gru and his minions, as he tries to become the best supervillain that ever lived, by stealing the moon. Of course along on the way he meets 3 girls who he adopts, which inevitably teaches him the error of his ways.It hold up as a film for children and adults, a really good family experience. The littlest girl is the cutest thing ever and the minions are hilarious and adorable. It's a lot of fun to watch, by yourself or with your family. I'd recommend it to anyone really, it's a heartfelt story with a lot of laughs.68%
