Review of Despicable Me 2 (2013) by Chillerboot — 16 Jul 2015
The first film was amazing. It had a great story arc and we watched Gru gradually grow and develop as a character.
This one is not so good.
It trades comedy for pop culture references, and the comedy it does have just falls flat. HalfThe first film was amazing. It had a great story arc and we watched Gru gradually grow and develop as a character.

It trades comedy for pop culture references, and the comedy it does have just falls flat. Half of the screentime is devoted to the minions, who are generally not funny and are just wacky characters for the kiddies. The plot is also quite boring, and has no trace of the personal stakes for Gru that the first film did. It's just a boring mess.
