Review of Despicable Me 3 (2017) by Neutralmilkh — 06 Jul 2017

Watching this movie was a harmless experience, yet I couldn't help but feel angry over how many flaws this movie had that could've been easily fixed. First, the movie is rushed, the relationships between the characters are poorly experimented with and the Minions presence in this movie ultimately proves to be extremely unimportant despite having nearly a third of the movie to themselves.

Themes involving parenting and siblinghood are so undeveloped to the point that it's a complete and utter bore to listen to the dialogue... because most of it didn't even need to be there in the first place (especially from Lucy) let alone the fact that it could've been replaced with dialogue that properly developed the characters in the movie.

There are funny moments, but they don't really apply to the "older" audiences... at least the intelligent older audiences. Despite the fact that Illumination had bland animation in Sing (Count how many times they use the same crocodile in Sing.

.. I had to use a youtube channel just to figure it out) at least they had more developed landscapes, especially the roads which are surprisingly unique. It's one of their better visual treats, but not even close to being the best emotionally (because the title to that belongs to Despicable Me.

.. which was basically Annie but if it were actually good.) Still, if you have children, or if you're a child on this website (because I know that most people on the internet are children) I do recommend watching this harmless movie.

.. it won't make you lose too many brain cells.
