Rather disappointing

Rating: 3/10 (5 October 2010)

I usually only write reviews of movies which I particularly like. But "Despicable Me" provoked me to ask: Did you ever have the feeling that after seeing one movie made in Hollywood, you've seen them all? The cast, the music and the setting vary of course, but the storyline is somehow always the same. This is one of those VERY standard movies that makes you wonder if a script is actually being written after a great deal of brainstorming and creative discussion or if it is just being copy-pasted from the last blockbuster. "They liked "Mrs. Doubtfire" and "The Incredibles" - now, let's put the two together!" The only good thing about the film was the animation and the voice-overs. The soundtrack is terribly outdated (think 70ies), and the story is zero - literally - I've heard stories from 5-year-olds with much more fantasy and innovation.
