Despicable Me 3, what happened? It seems like the writers were running out of ideas. The Despicable Me movies have always been able to influence how much a certain family member was needed. The first one told about how Gru loved and needed the girls, the second told how the girls wanted a mom and Gru wanted a wife. This one was supposedly about Gru meeting his long lost brother. But there is no good reason why he needs his brother at all. Just for continuity sake I guess.
The minions are not funny on this film, they just drag the plot along, and make you wonder when they will just disappear. Lucy is trying to get used to her role as a mother, but does terrible. She literally forces Margo to participate in a courting ceremony just so she could look Maternal? Bad, just bad.
Next, Agnes and her unicorn. Of course she learns that a crazy guy says he saw a unicorn in The Valley, so she goes to find one. While watching I was thinking: "They're going to make her find one because they think she's adorable. They're going to make her find one because they think she's adorable". I was half right. She found a goat, but the fact that they passed it off as a unicorn shows how bad this series is going.
Finally, the villain. He doesn't deserve for me to mention his name, that's how forgettable he was. Honestly, it's not menacing or scary when your villain just says over and over "I'VE BEEN A BAD BOY!" It just makes them seem immature. Vector and El Macho were different. Vector was nerdy, but he could pose a threat when needed. El Macho was menacing, and he knew what he was doing the whole time. This villain was terrible, he brought down the movie even more. The fact that he forced Gru, the former master of all evil to do a dance fight was just cringeworthy.
Will I see Despicable Me 4? Probably, it depends on if the franchise redeems itself. Right now, it's starting to become Ice Age.
