Animation -good, 3D-impressive, Story-good, But nothing new...

Rating: 7/10 (8 August 2010)

Despicable me is a story about a Villain name 'Gru' who wants to be at he top of his profession, by stealing the moon! His only competitor is a nerdy villain called 'vector' who steals a shrinking machine from Gru. The machine is required for stealing the moon. So Gru adopts three orphan girls who sell cookies to get inside 'Vector's super-protected mansion and uses them in his plan to get back the machine. But then what will he do with them later? Can a super villain be a father? What follows is an adventure that is mostly predictable , although it is enjoyable in every way. The three girls are indeed very cute and Steve carell does a fine job in giving life to Gru. The 3D is impressive if not breathtaking. It's only the story that lags slightly in the beginning although funny dialogues and loads of slapstick humor make up for it.
In Conclusion, it is understandable if 'Despicable me' is not appealing to all adults. However it is definitely a movie that should be in the top part of a list of 'Good family flicks' to watch on a Sunday.
