\"\"<\/a>Despicable Me 3<\/em><\/strong> is a perfectly \u2018fine\u2019 CGI animated movie, though there\u2019s nothing here that particularly stands out, but thanks to the Minions storyline and the scenes with Balthazar Bratt, I did manage to chuckle a few times.<\/p>\n

THE MOVIE \u2014 3.25\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Plot Synopsis: <\/strong>After he is fired from the Anti-Villain League for failing to take down Balthazar Bratt (TREY PARKER), the latest bad guy to threaten humanity, Gru (STEVE CARELL) finds himself in the midst of a major identity crisis. But when a mysterious stranger shows up to inform Gru that he has a long-lost twin brother \u2013 a brother who desperately wishes to follow in his twin\u2019s despicable footsteps \u2013 one former super-villain will rediscover just how good it feels to be bad.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Quick Hit Review: <\/strong>I\u2019ve found the Despicable Me<\/em> franchise to probably be a step ahead of the first few Ice Age<\/em> films, Minions<\/em> was a misfire however, and with this third entry, it solidified itself in the good but not great category. The Gru character isn\u2019t anything special though having the likes of Steve Carell voicing does help making him fun but where Despicable Me 3<\/em><\/strong> excels is with the introduction of the newest villain, Balthazar Bratt, a 1980s child star grasping tight to the era, including some great music, and holding a grudge for his show being cancelled when he became a zit-faced teenager.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the Bratt villain that helps out from what was an otherwise lackluster, even jumbled, sequel that has more amusing scenes and set-ups than anything that made me laugh-out-loud, though outside of a crude scene or two, is perfectly fine for families. The story is on the basic side although they do add a wrinkle giving Gru a twin brother, Dru which in itself does set up for a potential fourth movie which is probably a given with this raking in over $1 billion worldwide against an $80 million budget.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

While I did like the first movie and even these now two sequels, not sure how much replay value Despicable Me 3<\/em><\/strong> has as I find Gru to be rather one-dimensional saved only because of Carell\u2019s voice work. The others such as Kristen Wiig and Steven Coogan are more or less underutilized which makes sense since the central focus is on the twin brother relationship and stopping Bratt.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
