Review of Despicable Me (2010) by Kingmush — 17 Oct 2010

This was the other big animated movie that came out last summer alongside Toy Story 3. What intrigued me first was the fact that two great actors were lending their voices in it and one just so happened to be one of my favorite actors (Jason Segal and Steve Carell). If you don't know about this movie basically it follows a supervillian and his gang of minions as they try and steal the moon, but a group of orphans get in the way and you can figure the rest. I thought it was pretty clever in the whole storyline and it was very funny, mainly due to Steve Carell's one liners in the movie ("What is this? This is garbage. This passes for literature?"). Is it better or as good as it's "competitor" Toy Story 3? Hm.. Probably not I suppose but Toy Story is in it's own league anyway, this was a solid animated film. 3.5 out of 5.
