So, my wife and I took our almost 3 year old son to see Despicable Me 2 this past Saturday. I wasn't too excited when the first movie came out but having watched it numerous times, it's been a movie that I've really grown to enjoy. So a sequel is definitely something I wanted to see. Plus, with a 3 year old, something new is always a plus. You can only watch certain Disney movies (that shall remain unnamed for their protection) so many times before you want to chuck the DVD (and/or Blu-Ray) into the nearest shredder. *In best PSA voice* We must protect others from the torture of repetitive viewing. Be Kind and Hide Your Discs.
Anyway, back to DM2. I don't want to get bombarded by pissed off blog readers because I posted a bunch of spoilers. God knows, there's not enough of that on the Internet. So I'll try my best to avoid them. I would say that this is a movie worthy of the original. Steve Carell returns a Gru and is as funny as ever! Kristin Wiig, who is Hilarious!, plays second fiddle very well (did you know she had a part in the first one, look it up [www.imdb.com]). Also, a lot of the others in the original voice cast are back, including Russell Brand and Miranda Cosgrove. Plus some great additions like Steve Cogan and a surprisingly hilarious role by Benjamin Bratt!
If you liked the first, you'll highly enjoy the 2nd and I hope they release a third. A good trilogy is always appreciated. I'd definitely see a 3rd, and maybe even in the theater (which I wish I did more of).
