Warning: Spoilers
Back again, in this 3rd Despicable Me film Gru and Lucy get sacked by the Anti Villain League for failing to stop the largest diamond in the world being stolen by Balthazar Bratt (a child star of the 80's turned super villain). Gru learns of his long lost brother Dru, somebody that's worlds apart but still managed to be a super villain in his own right. Teaming up they attempt to get revenge on Balthazar, while Lucy and the girls have their own adventures. The minions end up in jail and have their own issues to deal with.

Another fun film with all the voices you've come to know across the trilogy. It's got the same beauty as the first two films and manages to further the characters development. The plot is a little weak compared to the first films. For me it feels like the concept is getting a little tired now, it's a decent watch, but I didn't laugh as much, nor did I care as much as in the first two films. I was more amused at Balthazar Bratt and the 80's references than the main story, but that's because I'm a product of the 80's myself. Having done 3 movies now, 4 if you count the stand alone Minions film, I get the impression that the series is coming to an end. It's still watch this if it was on repeat sometime, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it. 6 out of 10.
