I’ve said it already but Despicable Me 2 actually has heart, depth, whatever you want to call it. It’s short but Directors Chris Renaud and Pierre Coffin have managed to actually make something that was well worth the entry fee. I expected a pretty lame, cheap attempt at mimicking what made the first one so good in order to draw in the same crowd, but #2 actually manages to infuse some new stuff into the set-up, going in a different direction with Gru and actually showing that most shocking of all things: character dev elopement over two movies. I was actually very, very surprised by Despicable Me 2, in so far as I actually enjoyed it rather thoroughly. But when a shadowy figure begins doing all manner of suspicious and nasty things with secret formulas, Gru gets called upon by the Anti Villain League to help them investigate, along with beautiful agent Lucy (Kristen Wiig), for whom Gru soon falls head over heels. Gru (Steve Carrell), now retired from the supervillain game following the events of the first movie, has devoted himself to going clean and being a good father to his three adopted daughters, worrying more about eldest Margo’s (Miranda Cosgrove) sudden interest in boys than the likes of stealing the moon with his minions and Dr Nefario (Russell Brand). Everything about it seemed to scream “cash-in” to me, and initially I wasn’t even going to bother seeing it. It wasn’t anything too spectacular, but it was a charming story with plenty of funny and heart-warming moments.īut when I saw the trailers for the inevitable sequel, I was rolling my eyes before the title came up. I have a soft spot in my heart for Despicable Me, the Steve Carell vehicle that was, in comparison to other CGI films of the same period (I’m looking at you, Cars 2) a little bit under the radar. I guess I haven’t really been to see many light-hearted movies this year. Every member of the species has between one and two eyes.Steve Carell is back as Gru in this surprisingly charming sequel. For unknown reasons, they wear blue overalls and goggles. The minions are small, yellow, tic-tac-like creatures. They speak their own language, "Minionese", which is actually a mix of several Earth languages. They have an obsession with Bananas and apples, referred to as 'bapples'. However, as of Saturday Morning Minions, they are no longer serving him, as they aren't seen with Dru Gru.Īs their name suggests, the Minions are minions, who seek the most evil people to serve. After Felonius redeems himself and becomes a parent, the Minions decide to start serving Felonius' villainous twin, Dru Gru. During the 1960's, they served Scarlet Overkill, before going on to serve Felonious Gru. During the French revolution, they killed Napoleon, by shooting him with a cannon.
In Prehistoric times, they served a T-Rex, whom they accidentally killed, while in Egypt, they served and killed an unnamed Pharaoh by dropping a pyramid on him, killing him (as well as other people). As stated in Minions, their only purpose is to find and serve the most despicable masters in history. The Minions predate Humans by Millions of years.
