Review of Despicable Me 3 (2017) by Derekscritic — 09 Jan 2019

When I was Minions, I was disappointed that the film was not as good as its predecessors. This sequel to Despicable Me 2 is no different. Despicable Me 3 is another average sequel that proves the series has overstayed its welcome.

It is slightly better than Minion, but that's not saying much. My problems with this film is that the plot is a complete mess. While Minions was uninteresting, this film has way too many subplots. In fact, this film is oversaturated with subplots to the point that it just crams way too many different story into one film.

Also, the humor is weak in this film. There is also some problems with the characters as Lucy is as annoying as she used to be in Despicable Me 2, Dru is obnoxious, and the Minions don't serve any purpose in this film other than dumb gags.

Fortunately, the animation in this film is still great, the villain is cool, and the 80s references throughout the film were nice. As a sequel, Despicable Me 3 is a mediocre sequel that is less charming and funny than its predecessors.
