Cried during Despicable Me 3. Mostly at the ticket price.

Despicable Me 3: where physics filed for emotional distress and lost.

If padding runtimes and stalling plots were an Olympic sport, Despicable Me 3 would take consecutive gold medals.

If exposition were a contact sport, Despicable Me 3 would be banned for life.

The cinematography in Despicable Me 3 is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows

Look, I wanted to love Despicable Me 3. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Despicable Me 3 actually is?

Everyone praising the Despicable Me 3 performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.

Hot Take: Despicable Me 3's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece

Just got out of Despicable Me 3 and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Despicable Me 3?

Honestly, Despicable Me 3 would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.
