This is one of those rarities, an animated sequel that improves on the original.

3/5

The assumption seems to be that the public can't get enough Minions. Despicable Me 2 sets out to test that assumption to its absolute limit.

C-

[Despicable Me 2] is an example of totally disposable cinema, another spiky spur of sequelitis.

Nothing is surprising about Despicable Me 2, but then there’s something very unsurprising about that.

Will delight the kids, and some adults will get a chuckle or two.

Adorable movie, very entertaining, impressive visuals and with a sense of humor that never gets tiring. The jokes are so unusual and weird, it is hilarious. The movie focused a little bit more on the relationship between gru and his daughters, which I found lovely and made this second entry of the franchise my favorite so far. The only bad thing is that the plot is predictable, like almost all animation movies (and live action).

A good continuation to the story, adding in more fun antics and a more memorable villain this time.
