Just as Despicable

Rating: 7/10 (26 August 2013)

To produce the perfect sequel animated or not is hard to do, especially in the case of this film where the original was so beloved.
I think the smart move made by the creative powers that be was to take the bits of the original that people enjoyed and make more of them. So yes, we get a lot more minions and a lot more interaction between Gru and his girls.
The character of Gru is developed well which was important and there is some genuine heart to be found in amongst a wide range of jokes that appeal to both kids and the adults who've more than likely taken them to see it.
This sequel achieves it's aim of bettering (or at least being on par with) the original but I think it would be better to leave the series on a high rather than produce further sequels.
