Despicable Me 3


Despicable Me 3 was released in Malaysia 15/6/2017, while in USA it would only be released 30/6/2017. I am a big fan of the cute yellow minions so I watched it the moment it was released. Overall, the movie is okay. It's quite entertaining. The only complaint I have is the there is too little minions. Minions don't play a major role in the movie, there are like side characters that are included in the movie simply because they were already part and parcel of the movie since the first film, and dropping them in the third movie seemed ludicrous so they introduced another storyline instead for them. 

In this movie, Gru found out he has a twin-brother, and so he travelled with Lucy to meet his twin-brother. Before that, he was fired from the FBI for failing to catch a master thief by a snappy new boss. Jobless, the minions prompted him to go back to stealing, to which he refused. And the minions ran away en masse, leaving only two loyal minions with Gru. Soon, minions and Gru will meet, but that's almost close to the end of the movie. Minions play a small role in the movie, and I hate that. 

But to be fair, the storyline on Gru and the main villain is itself quite awesome and entertaining. I personally prefer Despicable Me 2, which I think is the best, but Despicable Me 3 deserves an applause for showing that, without the minions, the animation could still charm.
