The usual foolishness and cool animation - it is popular in China!

Rating: 4/10 (23 July 2019)

I decided to watch this because I saw little Despicable Me minions all around China when I travelled there. Unfortunately I fell asleep a half hour in. The best thing about this is the kool Pixar-type animation. There are some funny images, like the ones featuring Gru bombing thru the streets of what looks like a hillier version of Brooklyn in his ridiculous jet-powered vehicle. The story is the usual violent cartoon foolishness. And I've said it before and will say it again - why in the world do they need big stars to do the voice overs in movies like this? Why not give some lesser known actors a chance? I'm sure they could do it just as well - althou Steve Carell does give another of his fine performances.
