In Despicable Me 2 Gru is recruited by the Anti-Villain League to help deal with a powerful new super criminal.
I was not really a fan of the original Despicable Me, i usually enjoy animations that are good and love the great ones but Despicable Me did not stand out, however, the minions in the movie did and yes they can be seen as funny and they can be seen as annoying but they are the highlight of the film and i think the producers realized that because they are in it a lot in this film.
As i said i didn't particularly like the first, so why is it that this one is so great?
I have come to realize that all my favorite films this year are self-aware of themselves. Despicable Me 2 is very self-aware. It has lots of minions which people love, it has more laughs and an awesome supporting character called "El Macho".
I was on board all the way through with the film; the first half is really about family and Gru being a good guy but when you have that overly-done theme you also have the little yellow minions whilst the second half is a lot more interesting so you can keep up without slapstick comedy (which is still there).
The voice acting bugged me on the first film and on this one since I find Steve Carrel's voice very forced but i knew that coming in since it was a sequel of Despicable Me.
The third act of the film was really interesting and unlike Monsters University, we have a very cliche/stereotype animation ending but the fact that the film made me laugh that many times means that i enjoyed myself more than i'd liked to.
So overall
"Despicable Me 2 is lighthearted and not only funnier than its predecessor while it takes everything we loved about the previous installment and works more with it
7.8/10 (Surprisingly Good)
