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

musicalchick18 In the first two movies, I really enjoyed the story lines and the interactions between characters but for this movie, the whole twin thing is awkward and not that great of a dynamic. Maybe if it was his Dad instead of a brother? Anyways, after watching this a few times, I'm starting to realize that things just don't add up for various scenes. Where Dru lives, Fredonia, they seem to be known for their pig farms which is a weird concept in general, and then the girls go to a cheese festival in town for a bonding experience. The thing that doesn't add up is that we don't have pig cheese, it's not a thing. I work in a cheese department in a large grocery store and we have cow's, sheep's and goat's milk cheese but no pig milk cheese. Pig's are very difficult to milk so this cheese festival - where did all the milk come from? To make the statement of their cheese obsession even grander is when you see a guy dunking his brie into his coffee when Dru and Gru are running away from the police. Next confusing bit is when they arrive to the festival and Lucy asks the butler what is going, which he answers, but when Lucy tries to distract the girls from the Tipsy Unicorn, she suddenly knows about the traditional dance that's happening. The first couple times I watched it, I didn't really catch that but now that I see these glaring holes, I can't unsee it.

invisibleunicornninja Logic - If you like watching movies with consistent logic, or movies that have established rules that they follow or movies that are at least coherent, then skip this movie. This is just a load of nonsense. Yes, there is a plot, but a lot of it makes very little sense. Your disbelief is going to be so suspended, it might break. Plot - See above point. Also, there are a ridiculous number of side plots in this movie. All of them manage to be stupid and unfunny and boring. Characters - The characters in this movie are even more boring and simplistic than ever. They're also even more inconsistent. They keep ignoring everything that has already been established. I feel really bad for the voice actors. I cannot believe that Trey Parker is in this movie. I have no clue how he agreed to be in this nonsense. Animation - The animation keeps getting worse over time. It is so incredibly lazy.This movie is not funny. It is not entertaining. There is no joy to be found here. This is a terrible movie. I really hope they don't make another one. The only good thing about this movie is that its pretty short. The only reason I saw this in theaters was because my mom made me see it with my dumb brother. That theater was pretty full and guess what? NOONE LAUGHED.

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.
