Despicable Me 3















LANDON *
Allow me to set one thing straight.  I've never really enjoyed the "Despicable Me" movies.  The first outing was poor at best, and the sequel, while an improvement, is still pretty mediocre.  However, this one blows them all out of the water.  It's the worst one by a comfortable margin.  It maintains all the worst qualities of the other films in the series and then some.  It's not even a little funny, the villain is really bizarre, and it pathetically attempts to tug at your heart strings and completely fails to do so.  Plus, it plugs in a ridiculous character addition in the form of Gru's long lost (and utterly obnoxious) twin brother.  It not only feels like a desperate move on the filmmakers part, but they've also not managed to make him even a little likable.  This whole movie is ridiculous and doesn't deserve to be viewed in any setting.  It sucks.  Don't watch it.
