Underwhelming, but cute

Rating: 2/10 (26 July 2013)

I really liked the first film, so I was definitely looking forward to the sequel. I thought it to be one of the best animated movies the summer box office would offer.
I can't say this movie is bad whatsoever. I can say it was overwhelming and the plot practically nonexistent.
Despicable Me 2 is the epitome of cute, but hardly thought-provoking like the first film or features like PIXAR's (most of them).
Gru and Lisa had an adorable meet-cute and Agnes, Edith, and Margot are equally adorable. However, the villain and the ending of the film before the last scene was anti-climactic and leaves questions.
Overall, not a misfire and a moneymaker. Will I watch again? Probably not. Honestly, I kept thinking I was getting too old to enjoy films like this, but I do love many animated films. This was not one of them.
