![]() ![]() Minions: The Rise Of Gru Ending Censored And Changed For A Ridiculous Reason And now his family has grown even bigger, and will likely grow even bigger in Despicable Me 4. But then three things happened to Gru all at once: Margo, Edith, and Agnes. Nefarious and the always in trouble minions. He was mean, he was despicable, and he was bent on taking over the world. The result, well the first one, was the highly successful and fun Despicable Me that cast Steve Carell as the voice of the evil but loveable Gru. Obviously there were high hopes when Illumination and Universal took on Sergio Pablos’ creation. With the COVID pandemic constantly pushing things back, and with the new Minions not premiering until 2022, don’t expect Despicable Me 4 to be at the movie theaters until at least 2023 at the earliest. Back in 2017, Illumination CEO made that point clear when he announced that a Despicable Me 4 is already in development. With all these big numbers, there certainly must also be a Despicable Me 4 in the works. Minions was released in 2015 to huge numbers and the forthcoming Minions: The Rise of Gru is scheduled to drop in July of 2021. They play such a big part that they also got a couple movies of their own to help add to the Despicable Me haul. ![]() Thankfully unlike your racist aunt, Illumination Entertainment has not used the Minions for nefarious purposes.at least not yet.Of course, the Minions will play a big part in all the Despicable Me 4 shenanigans. Despicable Me 3 is at its core a thoughtless but entertaining jumble of sights, sounds and goofiness. And isn't that what this movie is ultimately about? To provide entertainment to children? While I don't necessarily condone families watching kid's films for their own sake (and this one in particular is all over the map as far as messaging), there's not really all that much to object about here. Parents will find these comedic bits more amusing than funny but the kids, the kids will be rolling up and down the aisles. ![]() One highlight involves Gru and Dru driving around the Freedonian countryside in a golden-plated mean machine while police follow while riding literal pigs. Yet as far as inspired moments of slapstick, Despicable Me 3 supplies a little bit more than is to be expected. The fact that none of the film's insanity really coalesces into a compelling whole, only makes the film feel more like a mediocre sitcom episode than an actual movie. About half of all this busy, busy, business works at least as far as furthering the plot. Gru bonds with his brother over Dru's desire to become a villain, Lucy fails, succeeds and fails again to become a mother figure to the three girls, Agnes, the youngest of the three tries to capture a unicorn, Balthazar Bratt sees his plans for world domination come to near-fruition and the Minions.well let's just say they have their own thing going as well. When the family lands in Freedonia, the movie descends into a series of fun but thematically incongruous vignettes. With nothing on their plate, Gru, Lucy and the girls (Cosgrove, Gaier and Scharrel), travel to the Mediterranean coasts of Freedonia to meet Dru. ![]() Fired by the new head of the Anti-Villain League (Slate), Gru and Lucy discover he has a twin brother named Dru (also Carell) whom their parents separated at birth. Of course it's to the detriment of neutering the refreshing mean-spirited-ness of the original, but hey, at least you still got those Minions am I right? Despicable Me 3 catches Gru (Carell) and newly minted wife Lucy (Wiig) trying and failing to secure the world's largest diamond from the hands of Bratt our flamboyant 80's themed villain. In-fact in may ways Despicable Me 3 is better than the original in that it improves its look-and-feel and provides a decent foil for once in the form of Trey Parker's Balthazar Bratt. It's not a particularly memorable film nor can it really hold its own against something like The LEGO Batman Movie (2017) but at least it's not unpleasant. As far as disposable sequels to kids films, Despicable Me 3 is pretty much on par with Cars 3 (2017). ![]()
