This will be just a very quick review and I’ll be honest
from the start, I didn’t give the movie my full attention. After no interest or
excitement from the first half an hour I did something I never do and let the
film continue in the background while I caught up on reading some of my
favourite blogs. As a result there is a good chance that I missed things in Despicable Me. The film
centres on an evil super villain called Gru (Steve Carell) who adopts three
young girls in order to help him steal the Moon and win the approval of his
mother.
I found there was little to laugh at during the film and I
wasn’t able to engage with the story. I’d heard that the little minions were
good fun and have since been given their own spin off but they did nothing for
me. There was little inventiveness in the story despite the inventions of the
various villains. The voice acting was fine and the animation was good although
I didn’t like its style. Overall Despicable
Me wasn’t a film I enjoyed but don’t feel qualified to give it a rating out
of 10 as I didn’t pay enough attention to it. I wish I hadn’t started watching
it because it was a waste of 90 minutes.
