Leave your thoughts about Despicable Me 3.
| Movie MomNell MinowThe problem with making the title character into a happily married good guy is that he is not despicable any more. He is therefore much less interesting than the villain. |
| Stuff.co.nzJames CrootI think the genius of these scripts has always been that while they look like candy-coloured explosions of inventiveness and cartoon villainy, they are actually founded on a rock solid core of emotional truth. |
| AV ClubIgnatiy VishnevetskyDoes the sight of a mulleted figure in shoulder pads blasting away his foes with a weaponized keytar sound mildly amusing? Congratulations, you’ll be able to sit through this. |
| Cleveland Plain DealerLaura DeMarcoThough not as hilarious as the Minions movie -- except for a gleeful Minions jailbreak sequence -- there are plenty of laugh-out-loud moments in this wacky and good-hearted but not saccharine comedy. |
| The Patriot LedgerDana BarbutoThe third entry arrives in no better shape than either the second movie or its spinoff, "Minions." |
| National Catholic RegisterSteven D. GreydanusTo call Despicable Me 3 desperate would be to ascribe too much effort and passion to the thing. Ice Age: Collision Course, now: There was a properly desperate sequel. |
| Assignment XAbbie BernsteinDespicable Me 3 wants to have something for everyone, but it spreads everything too thin, stretching some things too long and giving others short shrift. The results aren't despicable, but they are mostly bland at best. |
| Bowling Green Daily NewsMicheal ComptonEven with all the bells and whistles, and the introduction of a clever villain, Despicable Me 3 wears out its welcome quickly and turns into an overstuffed excursion that eventually becomes more exhausting than entertaining. |
| Matt's Movie ReviewsMatthew PejkovicWith its combination of Pixar's heart, Looney Toon's zany spirit, and strong characters to build upon with every new chapter, Despicable Me 3 just might be the best of the bunch yet. |
| HeyUGuysEmily BreenA joyful third episode for Gru and his minions, which promises much for the future of the series. |
