Review of Despicable Me 3 (2017) by Sparky M — 10 Apr 2018

Though entirely too worried that a few similar elements were going to throw us back into a poorly veiled rehash of the previous two entries: namely the dissatisfaction of the minions, another brilliant but stereotyped enemy, a once again career-broken cast, etc.

I was surprised to find that it wasn't the dead setup for the previously mentioned, but an opportunity to let the characters turn in a new direction. While it may turn off some as a cheap trick, or because they think their favourite character hasn't gotten enough screen time (or barely any at all), I think it's a good direction.

So long as the franchise knows how and where to end, anyway. And I think three just might be the magic number.
