Fantastic animated movie for the entire family.

Rating: 7/10 (27 November 2010)

Another awesome animated movie to hit us movie-lovers in 2010.
"Despicable Me" is a really nice movie, both in story and appearance. The movie is very colorful and superbly animated. There are so many little details going on in every scene, and it is just wonderful. I think it is great how far animation movies have reached by now. And there is somehow somewhat of a Tim Burton-feel to the way "Despicable Me" looks like, I mean the way the characters look and such. Not that the style here is dark or semi-Gothic, but they bear some resemblance.
The story of "Despicable Me" is a warm story, of how the villain Gru's life gets turned upside down when he adopts Margo, Edith and Agnes for a scheme, but ends up thawing up his frozen heart. That is enough said about the movie plot, and it is all that need to be said actually. The story is fast paced and takes you on a roller-coaster of fun and excitement - and superb animation, of course. It is the type of story that will warm your heart and sink right in, probably one that you will have with you for quite some time actually.
The impressive cast does a very, very good performance in their voice acting, and all characters have a lot of personality and quirky traits that you just want to see more and more of them. From the villainous Gru to the small yellow minions, you just simply love them all.
I hadn't thought "Despicable Me" would turn out as cool as it was, so I was thoroughly surprised when I watched it. If you haven't already seen this phenomenal animated movie, get your butt in gear and do so. It is definitely one of the better animated movies of 2010. Universal Pictures actually nailed it right on the head with "Despicable Me". Thumbs up, way up!
"Despicable Me" can be enjoyed by adults and children alike. And it is a movie that should be on every movie collector's shelves.
