Hey guys!!! I would like to introduce myself! My name's Evan, I'm Darrell's cousin, and I like to write, which is probably why Darrell asked me to be another blogger on his review site. I also like to give my opinion, because I like to think I make an honest assessment of things that everyone around me could agree on. Well, let's get to it then! My review is on Despicable Me.....wait for it....2!
Ah, yes, the magic, splendor, and prices of the movie theater. We've all been there, standing in line to the next "big" blockbuster, the "scariest" horror movie, or the most "tragic" love story. Or in my case... the sequel to one of the most shockingly, funny CGIed movies of all time. In the first movie we learn the story of Dr. Gru, an evil, twisted, depressed villain protagonist that is trying his hardest to be the best villain in the world! The antagonist, of course, is Vector, a dimwitted, nerd, who's entirely too spoiled by his father. We also meet the lovable supporting characters which are the girls: Margo, the oldest; Edith, the middle; and lastly, Agnes, the cutest toddler of all time! And we can most definitely not forget about the minions, which are too many to be accounted for and named.
The second begins a lot like the first, but instead of ruining a little kids day, Gru is working hard at making Agnes's birthday, the best yet! Its a nicely themed party with knights and unicorns and Fairy Godmothers? It will have you cooing and laughing all at the same time, only a couple of minutes in. Now I don't want to give too much away, but rather give you guys a quick idea of what it's about. The scenes to follow involve Gru, a
kidnapping, a red head, and some underwater turbulence.
Gru is asked to be part of a secret agency as to which he accepts the offer of. While on assignment at the local mall, he and his partner are in search of a toxic chemical that alters the DNA structure of anything it touches. This alteration will be quite comical towards the end, but no give aways here!
The girls throughout the movie are trying their hardest to get Gru a mate, as well as his crazy neighbor from the previews. But almost undoubtedly, something catches one of the girls eye. Oh okay, who am I kidding, Margo falls in love. Which messes up the girls' quest to get Gru some love, or does it? Well that can only be discovered if you go and see it for yourself. The villains in this sequel are definitely not as funny as Vector, but collaboratively, I think
they add up to be closely ranked with him.
There will definitely be some surprising twists, but of course you will basically be able to expect them before they happen. It's been a while since I have seen a movie that just completely shocked me after every scene. But sometimes that's not a bad thing. In my opinion it allows me to grow closer to the characters and almost know what they're thinking and how they feel when they think it. You will love every character in this sequel. Some old, some new, some weird... but all are lovable in their own way.
In my honest opinion, if you loved the first one, then you should definitely go see this one before you can't, and have to wait months after before it's released on DVD/Blu-ray during Christmas! Now, I will be honest with you, I liked the first one more, but only because that's my own personal preference. I liked the first "Cars" better than the second, and I like every other original more than the sequel. But both Despicable Me and Despicable Me 2 will definitely be classics. Now for my rating, and its an honest rating, disregarding my love for the first is a.........
When I looked at it in the angle of the fact that it is its own individual movie, it was amazing! I definitely suggest watching it ASAP!
