Just as fresh as the original one! cant recommend enough

Rating: 7/10 (4 July 2013)

Despicable me 2 This is probably the first time when a animated series' sequel has surpassed the excellence of the original movie. It was fairly unique as instead of the typical good guy as the main character, they put up a villain as the protagonist (although he ended up good) which made it more refreshing and more fun to watch. Aside from his pointy nose and hilarious accent, we were also invited to spend some time with the extremely adorable and mischievous yellow Minions, who speak almost entirely incomprehensibly in their own unique language. This time around, Gru's no longer a villain. The comedy here works too. The jokes are humorous and most of them work for all ages. Some of them may not be original or repetitive, but they're still able to give you a laugh. And it doesn't hurt that an incredible cast was behind the delivery of the jokes here. Steve Carell was charming as usual and he never fails to impress with his excellent voice portrayal of Gru. The rest of the cast was superb too. I for one,Liked the visual effects in this more than I did of Life of Pi. The sets were also very vibrant and colorful. They're so wonderful that they make the film come to life. Everything is splendid about the setting. They're also very detailed and it's just a treat for the eyes. The animation too is just eye- popping. All the characters' movements are extremely detailed and very smooth. The 3D is more of an optional choice though, but some scenes are especially tailored for 3D as they literally pop out of the screen, especially the end credits. Don't miss that one.
High points- Animation, dialogues and end credit Lows- a bit scary for lil ones Verdict- Just as fresh as the original one. I cant recommend enough!  7 on 10
