An average movie

Even though I did like 'Despicable Me', I didn't think it was really amazing but since it was a big success at the box-office, of course, they had to bring a sequel. Eventually, I thought it was a decent follow-up and it was fairly entertaining but I can’t say it was really an improvement on the previous installment. In fact, in my opinion, the story was actually pretty messy. Indeed, why did they hire Gru for this mission? What was his mission in fact? Maybe I didn’t pay enough attention but it was rather murky to me. Even though those movies are massively popular, I think they are mostly aimed at young children who won't mind such a rather weak story but since I don’t belong to the target audience, I didn't really buy it. Still, I have to admit that those Minions were again pretty awesome, Gru was really fun as well and, obviously, they had to add a mum to this family but Lucy was actually a very nice addition and she made me smile a couple of times. To conclude, I still think that this franchise is rather overrated but it remains a decent animated feature and it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
