REVIEW:
If you were dying without The Minions from "Despicable Me" in your life, then don't fret anymore, as "Despicable Me 2" is here with more Minion jokes than ever. Luckily the Minion jokes, while often funny, were not the only clever and hilarious jokes in this movie. "Despicable Me 2" is just as good as the original in every way imaginable. I'm not saying that as a bad thing, because the first one, while flawed, is still a good family film. A sequel to "Despicable Me" was never needed in the first place, but I will admit that it was nice to see what Gru's been up to after becoming a full on dad/good guy. The voice acting's great, the story is fine, and the animation/3D is gorgeous. If your kids enjoyed the first film, then take them to see this one. Chances are that they'll be entertained, as will you. The only problems with "Despicable Me 2" is that it's predictable, some of the humor falls flat, and the villain, El Macho, isn't as clever or funny as Vector from the first film was. Other than that, "Despicable Me 2" is an enjoyable 3D family flick that kids and parents are gonna eat up like tasty popcorn. Plus, it's pretty hard to resist the Minions, who are surprisingly the best part of this film.

Hello viewers of this blog,
Due to recent comments of spam and profanity present from obnoxious kids who think they are the funniest people in the world, I would like to request that the comments posted here are in good taste, meaning that they have no Anti-Semitic remarks, profanity, sexual innuendo, or any insults to myself. You can criticize the review and give pointers on how to make them better, but how about we be adults about this. Ok? Thank you, and have a nice day.
