Illumination's Despicable Me 4 Was a Waste Of Time...
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 лип 2024
- Just as quickly as Illumination Studios started to look good in recent years, with great movies like Minions 2: Rise of Gru, The Super Mario Bros Movie, and Migration... now we've fallen from grace right back to the bargain bin. Despicable Me is the franchise that put Illumination on the map (and made a lot of money along the way) and now with the FOURTH installment... it hasn't improved at all. Whilst the prequel sequel Minions 2 showcased iconic moments of great slapstick and an entertaining romp for all to enjoy... Despicable Me simply falls in under it's own weight with an over-bloated ensemble cast that ensures absolutely no one is given any satisfying screentime. Add that with an uncharismatic villain, poor jokes and unlayered cliches, and this just becomes a nothing movie. After I had high hopes from recent years, Illuminations Despicable Me 4 Was a Waste Of Time...

...Why did I ever get my hopes up...
Did you see Despicable Me 4 before me? What did you think of it...?
It wasn't good
mid
It was fun, but not worth the time spent. I honestly checked my phone halfway through the movie like “this will be done soon… right… right?!?”
Mid
I think it’s a good movie
Let's be honest, "4" in a movie title is usually bad news
Shrek forever after was good.
@@Zyron22 Shrek forever after doesn’t have a 4 in it, that’s the reason it was good.
Yeah true
Facts fr
That is why toy story 4 was bad.
I don't like them having a baby at all. Gru was already a father with 3 adopted daughters, and babies are annoying in movies. It feels like them giving Gru a biological kid is a slight to the girls, as if they're not his "real" daughters because they're adopted.
It might have been okay if the girls were more grown up. Margo being nearly an adult, Edith in her mid teens, and Agnes just becoming a teen. Then it might make more narrative sense to give him a new kid because his girls are growing up.
Weirdest thing is Ramsbottom looks much older then he did in the second and third, despite cartoon logic, I don’t know how to explain it but he’s definitely turning older
I think the "Despicable Me" franchise could still work with multiple sequels if they didn't keep introducing so many new characters, and focused on the ones they already have. You could make one film exploring Gru's individual relationship with the girls: One film for Edith, one for Agnes and one for Margo. They could even work as prequel films or even shorts, you could even do a spin-off about the girls life before Gru because I'm fairly certain they're not biologically related to each other.
@@ThePrincessCH "You could make one film exploring Gru's individual relationship with the girls" that just sounds wrong. I mean the whole story of a single grown up man adopting 3 pre-teen girls is a wtf in itself...
@@gentle285 Comedies are usually absurd anyway.
@gentle285 the first movie already went through why he adopted them. And why does Gru's father-daughter bonds being explored sound weird?
At this point, they might as well call it "Despicable Cash grab"
They can make 100 movies about the minions if they want, my brain is too mushy to care if the story is good or not.
@@Shadow-the-hedgehog-officaland that’s the point of them ngl
They have already announced despicable me 5 and minions 3@@18rocksthegames78
did it take you all day to think of that one?
@@Robyamdam yup - all night, too
The only part I hate is that they missed the chance to call Gru Junior “Grunior” smh
If they don't say it at least once in the runtime then this was all for nothing
@@kolonarulez5222I am 99% sure they don't call him grunior
@@geoffabbythomas7293They dont
Now that's a name for Grus son.
Its kind of stupid that they named him Gru Junior considering Gru is his last name
I know it's "cartoon logic" but it's weird that over the course of now 4 movies, the girls didn't age at all, yet time kept going for a baby to be born. It's kindof a shame that despite the first movie being all about Gru growing a heart and adopting the 3 he would've used as pawns in his evil scheme, now they're pushed to the back because the Minions were a smash hit. Even if they came up with "things" for them to do during the 3, or now 4 movies, you can tell they were an afterthought compared to the Minion's antics and the main plot with Gru.
If I remember correctly, the writers said that none of the characters would age in any of the future movies.
@@ethansanchez6267 Oh no. They got Ash-curse too!
We got Dr. Nefario on a Cryostasis, Lucy got pregnant and their kid is born, Silas Ramsbottom entered retirement and back, Gru climbed the corporate ladder and shown his skills even with nonconventional tech without Dr. Nefario, the minions gains new skills overtime, and Gru can afford Lamborghini after working for so long...
So at least Agnes, Margo, and Edith should have grown up AND entered a higher education.
Even my sister who has very high tolerance of cartoon logic calls this movie empty and mostly unfunny. Even more so, what was the entire Mega Minion side plot was for? They beat the bad guy post action and WITHOUT their powers!
What if the moviees take place in a year?
@@ninmarbobI don't think that's really possible
My issue with this movie is that it tries to do too much. So many different plot threads went on that none of them either got enough screen time or felt like they actually mattered
It would work better as a show to be honest
Yesss the mega minions side plot was so unnecessary😭
They literally showed the mega minions in every trailer, they sold figures of them in the theater I went to, hyper them up in the move, then they only get about 15 minutes of screen time
@@BillyBob_1177 I know that was the most confusing to me. Every trailer hypes up the Mega minions and they do almost nothing in the actual movie.
Exactly this movie felt like they jammed two films together, and trimmed a bunch of scenes and plotlines for time lmao.
I swear I used to love the first movie when I was a kid. I used to watch it with my brother all day, over and over again.
TBH the first movie is a cute wholesome story about a villian becoming a father. The other ones tho...
same here!
@@Lionwoman I didn't mind the 2nd one but when the 3rd one came out I thought it was starting to go downhill. I wasn't keen on the villain and the 4th film was just awful imo. I'm never this harsh on films and I'm easily pleased but this was taking the mick
so i wasnt the only one huh
Bro the villain had a army of cockroaches and never used them. I REPEAT THE VILLAIN HAD AN ARMY OF COCKROACHES AND NEVER USED THEM 🤦🏾♂️
I was expecting a final battle with a cockroach army and people who he turned into cockroaches against gru and the megaminions.
TRUE!!!! they were just there for laughs! ike knockoff minions
U a roach 🪳
Bro Pls HE CAN TURN People INTO cockroaches
@@Minsgacha even then he only turned like 2 people into cockroaches it was so useless
Why does no one talk about the plot hole from the end of “despicable me 3” where the brother steals the minions 😕😐😐😕😕😅😓
I know! The fourth film was basically already written for them and they just did nothing with that cliffhanger. They just have Dru as a five-second cameo at the end. Also, Dr. Nefario is somehow no longer frozen in carbonite.
what third movie? despicable me is a standalone movie?? i have genuinely no idea what you're talking about
@@grammy_hnng there are like 6 despicable me movies (Counting Minions and Minions Rise of Gru)
Wdym it is a standalone film?
@@MaruchipawaIt’s a joke lol
@@LemonHallPartii Its a lame joke
This felt like a Despicable Me Tv series sticked together into a movie
Gru did not fear Vector, El macho or Balthazar Bratt had hard times with all three of them such as being shrinked and having to safe the girls from Vector, having your partner and your minions kidnapped by El macho, being publicly humiliated and nearly killed by Balthazar Bratt but despite all this Gru defeated all three of them but yet in this movie he runs away and goes into hiding from a cockroach 🪳 looking dweeb.
Would’ve actually been decent if they had a villain that actually did more than turn one guy into a 🪳 and why does he have to use a giant robot and not his 🪳 army
Besides we already had a giant robot fight although I wouldn’t call this one much of a fight
He was actually kinda afraid of el macho. And his chicken
Maybe it's a reference to people often being afraid of cockroaches?
He wasn't even afraid of the villains in Rise of Gru even when they revealed they were the antags of the movie. And he was a child
Tbf the minions were the ones that dealt with them at the end but Gru was there
I remember sitting in the movie theater and just… disappointed. There was close to no plot. And there were so many things going on that any plot that was there was drowned away.
They made a bunch of jokes and references, but no story. So I left the theatre questioning what I just watched.
👏👏👏 Well said! I totally agree. I had no idea what was going on and there was no story line.
They putted all INTO comedy it just feels like it doesnt give the feeling
Despicable me is a ip that just needs to make a show. Movies dont do it, and after 3 they should've done a Gru chasing Dru show. It actually might have been really enjoyable to watch as a series.
But... You Won't Get Money If You Make A Show Tho, Which Is Sad Cause That's Why Illumination Keeps Making These
The first despicable me movie was absolutely great, but then everything just started to flop...
after DM2, it went downhill from there
Well they obviously haven't flopped
@@lightdarksoul2097 yeah because illumination either drops absolute godly movies or piles of liquid dog shit like DM3 and 4
@@Pig_Mug very true but I don't think they had a movie yet that flopped at the box office right?
@@Pig_Mug DM 3 was one of those “so bad it’s funny” kind of movies. And honestly it had some pretty decent jokes. DM 4 was so boring that I literally went to sleep in the theater.
Nah bro they ruined gru hes sorta weak in this one like look at the first movie when vector takes his kids he goes absolutely fuckin beast mode but when that bug villain takes his baby son hes just weak
Guess his family life style has made him soft.
He punched the shark right in the nose!
Say it with me, guys: "It should've stayed as a duology."
“But money” :Illumination probably
It’s just a franchise they unfortunately can’t let go of 😔
The 3rd was nice with the villain, but the overuse of _some_ characters is honestly dumb. Like who cares about the goat over Dr. Neffario or the rich Gru brother guy that I don't know the name of?
It’s dru.its a very dumb name
It should've stayed as a duology.
I've not seen this movie, but after hearing it's essentially a "random BS go" type of film, I wont.
You literally summed up the entire fourth movie in this single comment. Do yourself a favor and just rewatch the first and the second one.
This movie franchise original target audience is maturing/aging. So, this franchise should also mature with them. The people in charge are still trying to cater to kids, but kids clearly don't seem to be so invested, except for "look funny minions." If they took their writing seriously and respected their own lore, the previous long-term audience would come back for more while gaining new, younger fans as a domino effect for years to come. But if they keep at it with nonsense and minimum character development, then no more DM films will transcend. Just fast food cinema. Take your pick.
honestly the story would've been good if poppy was a neglected child (which is why she wants to go into villainy) but is taken under Grus wing as he tries to guide her towards good and teaches her that just because she wasn't treated well that doesn't mean she has to go into a villain role. This in turn could get Gru thinking about how maybe HE has been neglecting his OWN girls and could try to address that and have a heart to heart with them about the move and the new baby etc etc
this would also make sense since Gru himself was a neglected child :/
It would make a far better story though even then the studio cannot resit adding excessive amounts of dumb minion antics and still making the overall film a bloated mess.
I was already done with this franchise by the third movie, not even bothered to watch the minion spin-offs as I seem to be the only person that finds them irritating.
We’ll probably see at least one more minions thing but hopefully Illumination finds something new.
…I’ve immediately thought of something that could be fun; alien invasion except they’re just here for an exchange program, we get an alien family and they get a human family. We see both perspectives, though I’m already thinking the human family would be more interesting to follow and the alien family would be the new minions doing wacky things.
Hire me Illumination!
Minion should be background characters doing their own thing without much focus just except helping Gru on his stuff
Illumination should hire you dude, that’s such a better idea
Man, that's *good.* Almost... Too good for Illumination.
@joeybillings1258 I can agree children are easily entertained however they aren't alone watching it. We the adults also have to watch along with the children. Imagine sitting through a movie comprise of jokes you aren't guaranteed you be impressed. The only saving grace is to have a coherent plot to follow through. Also children aren't that dumb either they can understand the film the enough times they watch it. So really it's not unfounded you want something decent from the mascot from the minions or children movies in general can't you?
The one supermarket scene with the lady who was mad that her hair was ruined was a reference to the Terminator movies and franchise. If you listen to the music in the background, it is a *_DIRECT_* parody to the one of the T-800 throughout all of the movies.
I actually thought that was so funny. "Why do I recognize this theme..? OH WAIT"
It was parody and in funny way. I like the movie
I actually completely forgot about that part and I only saw it yesterday
The song Pharrell made was the only saviour of this movie
They cut it up so much at the start of the movie it sounded really janky
And the ending.
Ferrell?
One of my friends wants our group to go see this film tomorrow for her *25th* birthday... needless to say, not looking forward to it. Especially not after this review. Pray for me lol
why you could choose to watch inside out 2 that's is a better movie
Tell me that isn’t all she’s wanting to do for her birthday, I could think of at least 10 other fun things to do instead
@@waiken3727Why would you choose to watch a movie for a birthday at all? Such a dull thing to do regardless what movie it is.
@@ObsessiveGeek maybe they just love to watch movies
@@waiken3727 if the at was true, they’d pick a good one. Out of all the recent titles Despicable Me 4 is the one I’d least want to pay money to watch. Pick an escape room that’s themed around a movie instead, go on a trip to visit real life locations of a series/movie you love, have a party and encourage everyone to dress as their favourite movie character…literally anything would be more entertaining than sitting in a cinema, you can do that anytime. Birthdays should be special/unique.
The very least they could've done is follow up the sequel bait from the end of the last movie.
THATS WHAT IM SAYING
Yeah
@@user-tq3wk4xv5v AAAAAAAHHHHHHH- *CRASH, throws out TV*
Uh…couldn’t find the remote.
I was waiting for dru the entire movie just to see him at the very end as a background prop
@@SmartRascalStudios
Nice reference
YOOO GRU AIN’T A VIRGIN ANYMORE 👍
Ah LOL
Lol
Must be nice 😢
I don't get the 'evil school' thing, coz it was established in DM2 and even in the rise of Gru that as a kid he went to a normal school where he was made fun of for trying to be an villain
He probably went to evil school when he graduated from elementary
I have a friend named Poppy. One night a few days ago, she sent me a message at 3AM saying:
"I'm gonna kill myself. There's a character in Despicable Me 4 named 'Poppy'"
She's already been teased a lot because of the Trolls movie. I think this is her breaking point 💀
i need you to tell her we appreciate her service and that i sincerely apologize for however many "whats poppin', poppy?" she has been subjected to
@@grammy_hnng Thank you 😂
She hasn't gotten that, but she's been called "Poppy the Troll" before.
Mate I would love to have my name in the movie Kian is just too obscure for anyone to really name a character by
@@kwproductions6737 I know she really does love her name, but she's been teased so much that she really dislikes her name in movies. I think when the first Trolls movie came out, she loved the fact that her name was in it, then the teasing began.
"Despicable Me 4 is a waste of time"
You don't say!!
This was the worst of the franchise.
1. Despicable Me came out 14 years ago, so the original fans are 14 years older. Why is this movie made for kids even younger than their original fans?
2. Gru stopped being a villain after movie 1. That's what made it interesting, without this it's a bad spy movie. Spy Kids at least stuck to a gimmick. Why is a former supervillain groveling to make friends with the neighbor?
3. Filler. The movie is only an hour and a half, with too many scenes which do nothing for the story, and are hardly funny enough to justify at all. The salon, supermarket, and tennis scenes were just painful, boring and pointless. All they did was show our former supervillain and superspy being utterly incompetent in normal life, which isn't fun.
4. They skip the plot. Supervillain escapes from maximum security, off screen. Evil schoolmaster tracks down the family under witness protection, no explanation. Baby and supervillain are transformed from insects back to humans, like it's no problem. We get filler scenes while the plot is swiss cheese.
@@alexkaen1701 I get that the film has some flaws, but at least I'm not some cynical pessimist who drowns myself in negativity over a "stupid plot".
Not every film has to fit the high standards set by stuff like Inside Out 2 or Toy Story; movies can have action over story and still be decent, like Godzilla x Kong or the 1st three Bayverse Transformers.
There will be films where you just gotta shut up and have fun!
@@J-B_713 Clearly didn't read my post, so I'll add another critique. A sequel's standard is its original, if it doesn't meet that standard, it should never have been made.
The evil schoolmaster tracked down Gru because the badger they stole had a tracker. When she's looking at Gru's new address on her screen, it says "Lenny tracker" in the top right corner. It's quite brief though, so it's easy to miss.
Alr, here are my ideas to improve Despicable me 4, so let’s get on to it. (This may have spoilers)
------------------
- Instead of making Gru jr a baby, he should be a kid, so it would be sympathetic and some good character development with gru.
- The opening scene should have started with the news showing that Dru has been arrested by the *AVL* due to a chase along with Vector sent back to earth (so it makes sense for the post credit thing)
+ also the minions are in custody for details.
- Also as Gru is watching the TV, feeling sad for his brother’s arrest but gets called by the *AVL* that maxime la mal is their wanted target.
- After that call, make him prepare his *AVL* suit and also make his car entry like how dru’s car is like in the 3rd movie.
- At the villains ceremony, instead of making gru reveal that he’s an *AVL* agent, The *AVL* agents have no patience so they charge into it.
- As the *AVL* agents are fighting Maxime la mal, they should call his name to reveal that gru is an agent and the villains are shocked.
- As Gru has no choice but to fight Maxime la mal, the villains should also help maxime la mal, but some of the *AVL* agents retain them to prevent the villains not to hurt gru.
- While when gru is fighting maxime la mal, Lucy calls him to take her to the hospital. But while when gru is shocked and thinking about it, Maxime la mal should uppercut his jaws.
- As Maxime la mal tries to kill gru, the *AVL* agents use some device to prevent him from killing gru and arrest him.
- After that, gru rushes back to the car and then it cuts to lucy trying to give birth with Dr nefario, the girls, and the 3 minions, and the man himself, Gru. Accompanying him and helping her.
- After when Lucy gives birth, it cuts to Gru Jr, crying, and then when the characters says the one word “aww”
Gru picks him up and covers him in a blanket, Lucy tells him to name him they should make it name him “Gru Jr”
- Now as i am human and not a AI robot, i shall rest now until i feel like editing it again and putting my new ideas into it.

@@toasttoast7487 Ehh No
Illumination is turning this franchise into the new Ice Age. Possibly even worse (Land Before Time)
WHY WOULD THEY NEED A THIRD ONE OMFG
@@yhluciaa 💰💰💰💰💰
This is the first video I’ve seen about this movie that actually mentioned Sofia Vergara’s character, goes to show how little relevance she genuinely had in the whole thing
I found the movie ok nothing too crazy, but I wish they tried not to put too many plots in the movie. Honestly each plot could of been their own movie, like the parents learning how to live a normal life and take care of their baby or one of just training poppy to be a villain, it would of been full circle as a famous villain taught Gru so him being a famous ex villain teaches a child who was like him to be a villain. I just think they wanted to do to much so it became watered down.
Exactly this movie felt like they jammed two films together, and trimmed a bunch of scenes and plotlines for time lmao
I think the "Despicable Me" franchise could still work with multiple sequels if they didn't keep introducing so many new characters, and focused on the ones they already have. You could make one film exploring Gru's individual relationship with the girls: One film for Edith, one for Agnes and one for Margo. They could even work as prequel films or even shorts, you could even do a spin-off about the girls life before Gru because I'm fairly certain they're not biologically related to each other.
I just made a comment very similar to this, and I agree so much! The appeal of the first movie to me as a kid was the focus on the girls, and being raised by a single villain dad, and not the nuclear family dynamic they now have going on
@omppul I personally don't have an issue with Lucy and Dru, I just think they should try to integrate the girls a bit more. Like Dru being so rich and "successful," it could have been an interesting setup for Gru's feelings of inadequacy, competing with the "cool uncle" for his daughters' attention.
@@ThePrincessCH ohh I see your point, that does sound interesting as well
They should really let the three girls grow up, so that there's more potential for conflict. Have Margot go through high school drama, Edith become more rebellious, and Agnes become a little older, so that she can contribute more to the story.
But no, it had to be a cartoon logic world wherw everything just stays shiny and youthful! Stupid writers...
id say a more evolved version of that where Margot wants to go to college to do normal people stuff and Edith wants to follow more in Gru's footsteps. And Agnes wants to start an animal sanctuary.
The hijinks will all revolve around helping Agnes's animal sanctuary get off the ground and they have to pool their different skills and passions when they have to defend it against the big bad of the movie. Gru and which ever else daughter(s) and/or son get to be "dispicable" Chaotic good goblins and do it for the right reasons and the mom and Margot do their lawful good stuff and just protect their family in the best way they know how.
........BUUUT that would require ACTUAL passionate managers to greenlight it. Not whatever illumination is doing.
@olleselin its not the writers.
Its the writers BOSSES that tell them not to do more than just enough to make big corporate profit line go uppies on their charts.
Literally. Having them not grow at all really stuns things
if it had vector return and has him hiring all the other previous villains (so scarlet and the ones from rise of gru could be from a retirement home for villains) it would have been nice
My thoughts... minor spoilers ahead...
There is a lot to go through here, it feels like 10 trailers and 1 tv episode made into a movie, with some jokes from many years ago like "Honey Badger don't care" circa 2011.
First movie came out in 2010 and was not aimed at 1-5 year olds, this one is 14 years later and is aimed at 1-5 year olds. The first 2 "jokes" of the movie are "they don't make regular milk anymore" which is a 1/10 Dad joke, and a goat that poops.
The goat and baby raises several issues if you are dealing with Earth. Assuming the first movie was set in summer 2010, movie 2 can happen within days, on average 12 months to plan a nice wedding, Lucy is Pregnant in summer 2011 and this is roughly when they get the goat. Gru Jr. Is born 9 months later in fall, 12 months later he might speak, so we are probably into fall 2012.
Not a problem but...
So if Agnus was 4 at the start, Edith was 8, and Margo was 11... then Agnus would be 6, Edith would be 10, and Margo would be 13.
But the baby goat would go from baby to adult in just 6-8 months, so Agnus' goat was young, had a son, and that son had a son to get the current one looking so young.
Starting Scene, big issue
Like 12 AVL agents attacked an evil high school with staff and a principle and 30 evil guests... and they somehow captured everyone or put trackers on them to capture before they left unharmed??? An evil high school that has no weapons checks and honestly should not have let Gru in because he's a famous snitch.
Later all the bag guys from all 6 movies are in prison, the minions break the walls open, and none of them leave... none of these evil people who sing about how evil they are act like real humans.
Big issue
The Mega Minions story did not connect at all, AND most of the minions went to Dru by the end of the 3rd movue so why does Gru have more than a couple of his most loyal?
Minor
Why was Gru a solar panel salesman, we never saw a scene.
Minor
Why was Lucy so bad at hair, she was smart in movie 2 and could have at least looked up some basics
Major
Margo went to high school. Edith and Agnus went to Karate for like 8 hours, was it a just a Karate themed daycare, is the Karate Daycare Worker going to have to sue the AVL for emotional damages and lost wages while he can't wotk and has to move because he lost the respect of his students?
Yes, somehow the evil school had to only be 10-30 minutes away from the second town and over an hour away from the city. Doable, but weird.
Witness Protection doesn't really work without the disguses, Gru and the minions still look like Gru and the minions. I feel bad about the one who got stuck in a vending machine until he ran out of snacks and starved, why couldn't they just let him out by the next scene? Also who is Ralph, what happened to Kevin and former king Bob?
Climax felt weak compared to the all the 5 other movies, felt smaller scale and lower quality action.
I have seen Spy X Family, Gru and Lucy doing Tennis had amazing promise, and they gave up for dozens of red card jokes that did not land.
Gru should have expected an evil high school pet to have a tracker, and the evil principal should have sent the bug man to Poppy's Treehouse, she only got to Gru's house a few minutes before the bug man arrived.
Missing scene, I wanted to see how the bug man's bugs got hin out of super jail.
Kharma Chamelon is a weird song choice, puts talent show around 1984 (after song came out), almost no 5 year olds are going to get a 1984 song reference with lipstick and wig. So somehow Gru was about 10 in 1969 to see the moon landing live, and then 14 in 1984 for talent show. That one bothers me....
In my theatre, the nearby kids almost never laughed, but a few freaked out at when the bug man gave his angry threat video.
KING BOB
At this point, I don't mind spoilers especially from this franchise. They should have made a TV series next, not film #4
If you ever feel useless, remember that this channel's existence is simply about hating every movie that comes out every year
He just made a video complimenting Inside Out 2💀
i agree
14:45 It's Dr. Nefario, not Dr. Nefarious. You're mixing it up with one of the villains from Ratchet & Clank
Ok because of this comment now I’m imagining this happening:
Ratchet:” Clank, who is that? I haven’t seen him before.”
Clank: “I don’t know who that is either ratchet?”
Dr. Nefario: “GRU!! GRU!! I think one of the minions sent me somewhere far away somehow! Gru? GRU!?”
… Now I’m imagining Dr. Nefarious having a bunch of cookie robots like in the first movie. Perfect 😂
Despicable me was a waste of time.
The grass is green, the sky is blue.
I went to see it with my little nephew and niece and, at one point, even they were bored.
There was a man behind us who was histerically laughing at every single joke, though. He seemed to be seriously enjoying it.
That’s me Ngl sorry I’m 18 btw I enjoyed it actually Lucy’s my favorite character
Fck ILLUMINATION, FCK DREAM WORKS, and f*ck them all.
BUT HOLLYWOOD MARVEL? F*CK YEAH!
Those superheroes are the REAL DEAL, darlin'.
And HAIL DISNEY, the true powerhouse of animation!
We're talking classic, heartwarming, and damn well-made films.
So if it's Hollywood Marvel and Disney, we're all about that good life!
Hail Disney😈.
This movie felt rushed especially the final battle that felt like a battle that should’ve occurred in the middle of the movie

And yet the Illumination people like Chris Meledandri and Minions: Rise of Gru co-director are on a mission for Shrek 5
I think the movie was too short for the amount of content it includes. I'm not gonna lie I liked the Mega Minions more than I thought I would but still. And also why did Gru start singing with the villains who are supposed to hate him and stuff? Dr. Nefario also did not appear enough and same thing with Dru (Not that Dru is even a good character)
I agree with all of it and i dont think the supermarket scene saves the film but you got to see that scene cause it was iconic, the only part of the movie I want to see again
Is it bad that me and my family actually liked Despicable Me 4 when we saw it in theaters and laughed at every joke and had a great time together?
Its ur opinion
Finally someone didn't mind it
It’s ok I really enjoyed it myself im 18 btw along with Inside Out 2
It had places and things it could have done better with.
But me and my dad loved it when we saw it
This is like side plots the movie. A collection of side plots.
Fantastic choice of background music from Katamari Damacy! Haha
Feels like this movie is a victim of the first draft being pretty solid, but then subsequent drafts take and keep fun scenes without knowing why they were good. In the end, making a fun movie with little to no natural connection to each one
I wish we go to focus more on the girls, they haven’t been the focus in SO long. Then a random baby comes along and takes all the focus and some random neighbor 💀 I watched it with my mom and sister and it was alright.
There’s 7 movies, they’re just milking it at this point
Saw this yesterday, and yeah, it's very 'in one ear, out the other'. For the majority of it, I was just bored more than anything else, which was weird considering there was a lot going on and yet almost nothing stuck. I remember the baby being cute, the minions having an impressively high body count as well as the one stuck in the vending machine(that was a good running joke) and the villain's history with Gru as well as the pay off at the end, being beautifully petty. Other than that, there isn't that much to say about it. It's a movie, it exists, that's it.
Man, Shrek wasn’t even milked *this* much
The whole time i was watching this movie i was thinking "oh, i wonder how this will be tied in to the main plot? Wait, no, its already concluded." It really feels like they just threw in as many characters as possible so they could make more toys. Like other people said, this would honestly be much better as a show. I would legitimately enjoy watching episodes centered around the tennis plotline or the mega minions actually doing LITERALLY ANYTHING of value.
Fck ILLUMINATION, FCK DREAM WORKS, and f*ck them all.
BUT HOLLYWOOD MARVEL? F*CK YEAH!
Those superheroes are the REAL DEAL, darlin'.
And HAIL DISNEY, the true powerhouse of animation!
We're talking classic, heartwarming, and damn well-made films.
So if it's Hollywood Marvel and Disney, we're all about that good life!
Hail Disney😈..
I liked the movie, really sucks to see it flopped
I think they should have made the girls older, because at least then it would be understandable why they didn’t play as big of a part in the movie.
Despicable Me 4 huge success is leading to Illumination focusing on Minions 3 over making original movies!
I watched it on a sketchy website with my friend and we heard floor creeking sounds every 10 minutes 😂
From what I can tell, it suffers from doing too much. It's not just an A plot with a B plot, there's also a C plot, a D plot, an E plot. So many plots that could have been split into more installments, or some just as shorts.
I can agree, it has way too many subplots and they all end up being too short because of it? Stuff like the badger heist and mega minions can easily be fit into a future installment
IMO the movie has the following flaws:
(text dump btw)
- Storylines that have potential but barely have any purpose or effect on the plot and are only used for the funnies. (aka. how Lucy and the girls adapt to life in Mayflower)
- Maxime has NO purpose as a villain: he’s introduced as someone who used to bully Gru, then painted as a victim who bullied him bcuz “gRu sTolE My sONg aT ThE tAlEnT sHOW!”, only for it to be revealed at the end that he was bullying Gru even before that. So he hates Gru because Gru hated him, basically! He also relies way too much on his wife to pose a threat, and if it weren’t for her he never would’ve temporarily gotten the upper hand. But more importantly, he only posed a threat to Gru and his family, unlike all of the other villains, whose threats actually affected Gru as a character.
- Also, he gets defeated WAY too easily, and it’s anticlimactic. His “defeat” was merely just a way to make the Mega Minions have plot relevance, and even then, it’s honestly pathetic.
- Speaking of his wife, she also has no purpose and gets defeated even EASIER than he did.
- Generic dance party ending. Granted, the cover of “Everyone Wants the World” is decent, but HOW THE FUCK did Maxime become a human again? This applies to all of the other villains as well, for obvious reasons.
- Perhaps the biggest flaw: it tries to be hip and modern so it can appeal to kids, but it’s pretty unfunny. My biggest examples would be the music used (including songs by Blackpink and BTS… which weren’t really needed) and the new kid characters: Gru Jr. and Poppy. They’re likable, but everything about Poppy, from her attitude to her appearance and even her lisp screams “KID/TEEN CHARACTER TRYING TO APPEAL TO THE KIDS/TEENS.” And need I say anything about Gru Jr? He’s literally just “the funny baby with an attitude” and a major plot device. If not for the plot, Gru Jr wouldn’t have any siginifance, and to top it off unlike his other children and Lucy Gru doesn’t go through any character development because of him. And in fact…
- NO Character Development. I get that all the characters have already grown, but they can still grow. Show how life in Mayflower changes the characters, not how it affects them. The only characters who change just a little are once again, the new kid characters trying to appeal! The villain(s) especially don’t change one bit!
- Humor is subjective, but I know not everyone is open to toilet humor and/or likes the Minions, so I’ll include this as a flaw also.
- It’s really predictable at times. Ofc the baby will get kidnapped then later save Gru, ofc Maxine will manage to find Gru, and ofc the characters are too situationally stupid to put their house in lockdown!
Overall, the film’s hilarity and likable characters (well, and I guess the soundtrack) are the only things that make up for the lackluster in story “kid-modern wannabe” excuse for a conclusion.
I’m pretty generous, so I give it a 4.5/10, because I generally liked the film despite its flaws. What do you all think?
They did put effort in it, calling it waste of time seems bit harsh
I enjoyed it and I’m 18

I think it should’ve continued with the fight of Gru’s brother vs gru in despicable me 3. Doesn’t make sense how he got his car rocket thingy back
I wonder the reason the girls didn’t age at all, is maybe because the 2nd movie happened very close after the first one,but that’s not the point…. They should of aged at most A LITTLE
While I haven't watched it yet, it's clear the franchise needs to be willing to be a bit "boring" sometimes.
As in, focus more on the story with a few cast of characters while putting the comic relief characters on the sidelines.
Isn't it amazing that there are now 3 animated quadrilogies with a fat but fearless protagonist?! Shrek, Kung Fu Panda, and now Despicable Me!!!!
The plot felt like a recap of an episodic series, but I didn't hate the movie, illumination always nails the visual part, and while not the best I kinda enjoyed just watching the characters do random crap. Maybe it's cuz I don't watch a lot of movies
But is it…
…

bananas?
I keep hearing people say this will take the award season over Inside Out 2 I saw hope not
The third one doesn’t have the best plot but it is pretty fun to watch and this was just not it I almost fell asleep
Minions 3 is coming in 2027…
Already?! sheesh we already have two minion movies and Despicable Me four. They have the Mario Bros movie sequel to make, and they’re already talking about another minions threequel
@@TVTIME-be8ze 😂
It feels like this movie had a point A and MAYBE a point B if you squint. Then they couldn't actually come up with a cohesive plot, so they came up with a bunch of modular scenes and smooshed them all together to make the audiance think there's something going on. The only parts of the movie I enjoyed was them using "Word Up" (Cameo) at the begining, "Everybody Wants To Rule the World" (Tears for Fears) at the end, and then the Honey Badger pop culture joke from the early days of youtube. Which was great, that actually got a laugh out of me. The rest of the movie, though? Not one. My biggest issue is that they wanted to spend so much time with the minons. I never understood why they were liked for more than 5 seconds, and I certainly don't understand why people would watch an entire movie about them. It was an entire 20+ minutes in this movie that they wasted either to pander to the grandma's on facebook or to pad run time. They literally served no purpose to the plot as a whole. They came back in the last moments to "help" defeat guy. His name and existance was not memorable enough. It's just annoying at this point.
I saw the first movie when it came out, it was so good and it still gives me the warm fuzzies today. It actually had a plot, and you almost never see a guy adopting kids (even if entirely selfish and garbage at first) it's found family, but literal and I appreciated that. Unfortunately, the entire franchise, including spin offs, is just a pointless cash grab at this point. It's sad to see something that was really revolutionary get turned into some more soulless slop.
The ending with Gru and the villains singing "Everybody wants to Rule the World" makes it worth it
37 Minion movies were announced and I dont know if its fake or not 💀
If Ur talking about the mega minion stuff that's fake yeah lol
They were criticising Marvel
@@copper2747 I hope it’s joke
@@adreamworksemployee it is lol
They aren't making 37 minions movies. No despicable me 5 has been announced however minions 3 has been announced for like 2027
it's fake.
12:55 ah yes, my favorite animal, M O N E Y
The sound track was the best part
Well... At least the voice acting, the animation, and the music were all good!
The karate scene makes me want to hug ‘Brittney’
When I saw this movie I couldn't stop thinking about terraformers when the cockroach guy was on screen😂
*hears list of main/supporting characters*
... Why did they make the group big enough to rival the last couple of Ice Age sequels-
Splatoon 1 music on a minion review is interesting
I've only ever watched one and a half of the movies, and after my friend caught me up on the lore, I really think it should've stayed as a standalone movie, or stuck to just Gru and the girls as the protagonists. Yes even the woman character sounded really... weird to me for them to add. Wasn't the first movie already praised for not having a nuclear family, but a single dad with three adopted kids?
Idk if it’s mentioned in his video bc I haven’t finished it yet, but another problem is the fact that they refuse to age up Margo, Agnes and Edith.
I don’t care what anyone says. I enjoyed the movie this movie is 10 times better than anything Disney has put out over the last year. I’ll watch this movie hundred times then watch a Disney movie that came out all the last year.
You could explain the movie story in 5 MINUTES
For me, personally, the movie was too all over the place. I was rather disappointed when I left the theatre.
It would’ve been better to have mr Perkins as the villain instead of the actual one we got…
Yea she feels like she owns an army of to Its and Maxime le mal doesnt seen to be that evil BUT only WANTS revenge
The best part of the movie was when we saw the other villains at the end, and we got to remember what good villains are
All of them except for Balthazar bratt were actually good, even Herb and Scarlett with their couple dynamic
@@adamH.1 Balthazar is good purely as a meme. Plus he's better than 4's villain
You can watch this cartoon only if you have spare 50 iq points. Why? Because you will lose them..
Something I’ve noticed about movies, specifically animated ones is that the original classic first one is always the best and the rest of them are just boring empty jokes glued into a crap story.
gotta love how the last movie introduced a long lost sibling only to barely explore their relationship all that much rush them to a happy ending and then not feature him at all in this movie except for a brief cameo at the end.
wonder if the same will happen if there's a 4th Trolls movie? since it did the exact same thing for its Recent third film.
Let's just hope "Spiderman: Beyond the Spiderverse" will actually be good
This feels more like a tv show than a movie
the end made me lose faith in illumination
I really thought Super Minions had more action sequence and ready to take down Maxime but nahhh they just basically show up.
At this point, every Illumination movie is a huge waste of time except for Mario and maybe Migration.
Ah yes, the obligatory Cash grab
thank you for saving me $25 canadian
This was the first despicable me movie that made me disappointed
