Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Michelle Ridley The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Platypuschow Okay fine I'll admit it I'm a big Despicable Me fan and I love minions, don't judge me!I thought both of the first two Despicable Me movies were fantastic and to a lesser extent enjoyed Minions (2015) so logically I was going to enjoy this, but did I?Well it has the same charm, it has the great voice talent, it has a stellar soundtrack and it has minions! What is there to dislike?Well I don't dislike it but truth be told it's not on par with the other movies, I don't know quite what it was but I just wasn't feeling it this time as a lot of the jokes missed their mark, the minions took a backseat and the twin brother aspect of the plot was a tad weak.Regardless Despicable Me 3 is a lot of fun for all the family complete with lots of jokes that the parents will appeciate and a great retro 80's soundtrack. Being a big South Park fan I really appreciated the work put into this by Trey Parker, he's a multi-talented fella as demonstrated here.The franchise still has life in it and hopefully won't be going away anytime soon.BANANA!The Good:Great soundtrackSame ol'charmTrey ParkerThe Bad:Story is weaker than previous filmsThings I Learnt From This Movie:Giant titan mechs can be made by one single person in a matter of daysTrey Parker needs more voice workI want a uni-goat!If she doesn't get fluffy back in the next movie I'm rioting.........awkwardly..........by myself

adam-may-bower 'Despicable Me 3' is an unnecessary addition to the once-funny franchise. While the first two were great, Illumination Entertainment really should have stopped their. Alas, when a child's film becomes a commercial success, it is bound to be recycled into multiple following instalments. Sometimes this can work in some franchises, but others it just becomes tiresome. This is one of those franchises. While the humour in the film may still produce many laughs, it really is nothing more but uninspired gags borrowed from every other animated kids movie. It results in a film that is just noisy and overwhelming. The whole premise of having the main character as the villain with ridiculously funny motives, that made the first film so great, is now completely turned upside down and ultimately makes the character of Gru an annoying excuse of a character. The actual villain, Balthazar Bratt, was unlikable which resulted in the film being un-engaging as you don't support either the hero, or the villain. Despite all this negativity, this film still had great visuals and did make me laugh several times. It may be a great film for its target audience, but for the older members of the audience, it is just a noisy and unlikable film that you can't wait to be over.

Hitchcoc While there are several interesting things going on at a rapid fire rate, there seems to be no real center to this thing. Even in an animated film, we want a story and characters that we recognize. The animation is awesome and I enjoyed the Mean Kid actor and his adult incarnation. I quickly became bored with the minions. They have no soul or interest to me.

Prismark10 There is nothing much wrong with Despicable Me 3 if you are a kid. If you are an adult I think the charm is fading a bit and as far as the plot goes, so does originality. I think this is another cartoon where an incident happened to someone in childhood which drove them into becoming a supervillain in adulthood.Balthazar Bratt an 80s child actor had his hit television show cancelled when his voice broke. Out of the limelight, he really imagined himself as a villain with hit 80s music as an accompaniment. Now he is one causing bubblegum mayhem.Gru and Lucy fail to capture him once again but get the diamond that Bratt stole. Not good enough for the new boss of the Anti Villain League who fires both of them.Gru finds out that he has a long lost twin brother called, Dru and his dad was a super villain. Gru travels to the country of Freedonia and Dru is just like Gru but with hair, more cheerful, a bit incompetent and wants to follow a life of crime. He persuades Gru go get back to being a bad guy which is something the Minions failed to do as they walked out on him and ended up in jail.Gru and Dru steal back the diamond from Bratt but Bratt takes the children and is off to destroy Hollywood for destroying his career.It is all rather scattergun as there are various plot threads to get its core audience excited about but it is also rather vapid.
