a nice treat

Rating: 9/10 (7 August 2010)

i've got to tell you that the standard of animation movies is really touching the sky. this movie is yet another addition to a number of really good animation movies in the last few years- "toy story 3", "wall-e", "up" and "kung fu panda" just to name a few. the plot of the movie is quite different as the main protagonist of the movie is in reality an anti-hero but never during the movie do you realise this. it has a bit of warmth, a little sweetness and off course, the emotional component but the greatest thing about the movie is its humor. in the whole running time of 1hr and 35 min, you find yourself laughing most of the times and the movie springs up some really good originality in the form of "minions" and techie- air as well as road vehicles. the voice- overs of most of the characters are well done although gru's accent might appear sometimes as overdone. the only complaint i could have were a few clichéd moments of family bonding and the character of gru's mother. but over all, the movie is a real fun filled ride and a more than nice entertainer.
