Early Despicable Me 3 Reviews and Reactions

Early Despicable Me 3 Reviews and Reactions



The latest film from Illumination Animation is here, and it looks to be a force to be recommend with at the box office. But what are critics saying about it? Let's find out.

Slapstick Comedy

The comedy has been the selling point for these films. And it looks like this ilm will deliver more of the same. The previous two films have visual gags and slapstick comedy, mostly from the minions, and according to critics, this film has an abundance of it as its face-paced story brings humor.

The Minions are Back...

Everyone's favorite(?) sidekicks are back. As seen in the marketing, they will be back to support Gru in full force, and while Minions brought them to the forefront, for better or worse, they will be back again for this film. 

...But in a Smaller Role

However, critics have noted that they have been scaled back. They are a huge presence in the movie, going on their side adventures, but the fact that they have been scaled back from the forefront is a relief to everyone who is not a child. 

More Kid-Oriented?

Speaking of children, the critics seem to be saying that this film is more aimed at kids than ever before. While the previous two films have enough charm and elements that parents will enjoy, this film seems to be more for the kids than ever before. Illumination is notorious for bringing films aimed at children, unlike Pixar who aims at all demographics, seems to be presenting a film much in same vein. 

The General Consensus

This movie is good enough. There is nothing really that stands out to a hardcore movie fan who wants to see this film to see a good movie, but for children, this is the perfect movie to take them to over the summer, which is why it will do well at the box office. However, it may not do as well as many would have thought as many critics agree that this is the worst film in the franchise (besides Minions) thus far.
