Absolutely Fantastic

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Overall this movie is very "eh." The animation is very lazy and boring and cheap. The voice acting is good. The characters are flat. The plot is kinda fun but mostly stupid and full of holes. There is nothing special about this movie. As something that exists to sell toys I guess its ok. This movie has nothing very interesting or memorable to offer. There are a lot of errors and this movie is full of stupid. I wouldn't recommend this thing but I guess you could put it on for a kid and they'd like it. You could also put on something good, which they'd probably like better.

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.

The first "Despicable Me" effort introduced audiences to the goofy, rambunctious Minions as well as the relationship between villain-turned-good guy Gru and his three little girls. The second movie plays to those same strengths and offers more Minion mayhem and more heartfelt moments.For a basic plot summary, "Despicable Me 2" sees Gru (voice of Steve Carell) recruited by secret agent Lucy (Kristin Wiig) to join the newly-formed Anti-Villain league. Though at first nonplussed by the offer and content to be just "Dad" to Margo (Miranda Cosgrove), Edith (Dana Gaier), and sweet little Agnes (Elsie Kate Fisher), Gru begins to feel the tug of adventure once again (as well as perhaps a bit of a romantic fling as well?!) and is quickly caught up in the world-saving game again.In terms of comedy and adventure, this movie provides it in spades! It's amazing that it took this many years of human history to think up such hilarious characters as Minions, as they can make even the most sourpuss among us crack a smile (and have most of us rolling in the aisles!). Their crazy antics are unrivaled in the history of animated feature films.There is also a nice little touch of emotion in the movie involving Gru finding a partner (or mother, as asked for by Agnes). I actually wish the movie would have focused on this movie, as a more developed and focused emotional aspect could have easily vaulted it to five-star status.Overall, though, "Despicable Me 2" is fine comedic fare for anyone who enjoyed the original. The girls might touch you, the Minions will have you laughing throughout, and Carell's Gru is such a crazy character that he is a joy to watch. A fun film for the entire family.

Now that Gru has given up a life of being a villain to raise Margo, Agnes and Edith, he is trying to figure out how to provide for his new family. As he struggles with his responsibilities as a father, the Anti-Villain League, an organization dedicated to fighting evil recruits him to think like a villain in order to catch a new evil. whilst on the mission he learns about his daughter, who has her eyes on the villains son, in this mission to capture the perpetrator of a spectacular heist, he also helps his daughter to see the bad in her boyfriend. This movie was very interesting, after enjoying the first movie, i was excited about seeing this one. This animation was enjoyable and definitely unforgettable. There are a lot of different values the little ones can learn from this movie, really a great watch!
