Animated Antic Some sequels don't have the charm that their predecessors had. If anything, most of them fall apart and mostly lead to a sequel that really don't make any impact to the story as well as not evolving its characters and or story. Luckily, "Despicable Me 2" is not one of those sequels. This is a film that carries the same charm and humor the first film had back in 2010, but gives us bigger laughs, funny new characters and also evolves the older characters which is something a good sequel should do. Want to know why it works? Well, here's a little brief synopsis which I'll try not to spoil as the trailers weren't exactly that revealing.Some time after the first film, Gru (Steve Carell) has been living a new happy life after he gave up being a super villain and instead became a father to Margo, Edith and Agnes (Miranda Cosgrove, Dana Gaier and Elsie Fisher). Although he is a great father, he has been unsuccessful to do anything new as he even attempts to create new jams that leads to some humorous moments. Then he is recruited by agents, and partnered with one named Lucy (Kristen Wiig), who work for a secret organization known as the Anti-Villain League, an agency that tries to hunt down and eliminate top super villains. Hoping for something to do to impress the girls, Gru accepts the offer and is put on a big case involving a toxic serum while not realizing that his Minions are mysteriously vanishing as part of a master villains plan. That's all I'm going to give you guys because I think you need to see the film to figure out where it will go.The thing that works best about this movie is that it continues the story and not repeats it. It also does the same to the joke which Illumination gives us newer and fresher content and not the humorous moments of the first movie. Trust me when I say that some of the scenes are so hilarious that I was laughing so hard, I sometimes had to constantly catch my breath. Not only are the jokes made better, but the characters are also improved as well, particularly Gru. The reason why is because he fully stands by his word and saying he won't return to evil and actually does certain scenes that are different from the first movie notably scenes involving Margo and a boy she has a crush on. The new characters are also a lot of fun as well. Lucy might be my favorite character in the movie. I really liked the funny and quirky personality she had which was brilliant brought to life thanks to Kristen Wiig's fantastic performance. However, one thing I'm pretty pleased at with the film is actually not in the film itself, but rather the marketing. It was very clever by not showing the villain and keeping certain story elements to a minimum which allowed us to guess where the story would be going. I was very pleased by this desision. As far as problems go, I could have used a little more screen time with Agnes and Edith. Although both characters got some laughs and had a considerable amount of screen time, I didn't think they got enough."Despicable Me 2" is easily one of the funniest animated sequels I've seen in a while. It steps up what made the first film great while also adding some new elements that make it stand out as a good sequel. I can easily say that this was a great sequel I've been waiting for and I hope I can get more in the future.

DarkColors-2018 Despicable Me 2 was annoying, unfunny, cheap and really bad. The animation was lazy, the movies has no grasp in terms of actual quality animation, not only a lot of the backgrounds are repeated with no really variation into the environment making look cheap, but a lot movement of the characters, their modeling and their design was kept in a minimal and simplistic level and it's visually poor and awful looking, and also easy to make. The movie recycles a cheap and overused plot involving spies and so forth and it's very predictable in the sense that it doesn't do anything new or inventive, including there's no reason these movies should exist, it's completely pointless and it got made in order to make a profit at the box office, considering the big revenues the first one gained. This movie is dumb, obnoxious, unfunny and lazy

OneEightNine Media What I'm starting to notice about these Despicable Me movies are how they put the best jokes in the trailers and everything else in the actual film usually s@cks unless you're a five year old kid who can never get sick of the minions talking in gibberish. This is a four out of ten stars kind of movie but I'm giving it just one star to help offset the current ranking. I swear, people love to give the stupidest movies ten out of ten stars if it can make them laugh just once. And that is why this film is near garbage. I know, I know.. this movie is made for kids but, is it really? It has, or tries to have a bit of adult humor but it fails. I swear I'm not going to pay a penny to watch anything by these directors.

aaditya-nikam I loved the first part to be honest .In fact it had the right recipe for a complete family entertainer.This one on other hand is so awful that when you watch this with lot of expectations it doesn't even fulfill even 1% of what you are expecting. my family members fell asleep behind the 3D glasses. Please its a super bad movie.. Go watch the first one again avoid this part 2. even the 3D couldn't save the pathetic animation..This is just made to make money on the fame which part one garnered . Similarly how the big studios try to en cash James Cameron's name after the super success of titanic.These animation studios are the real villain who rob money by misguiding the public. Any way i Wasted the money but you don't.
