Despicable Me 4 Reviews Aren’t So Great

[@Dahly3889]

Kids aren't going to care and they're the ones that are going to drive the box office.

[@isaacmartinez6904]

Despicable Me 4 is going to make tons of money since most families are going to theaters due to family movies.

[@tomfleming4777]

Once again a big divide between Critic and Audience score with currently 53% critic score and 90% audience score.

[@cementbox4430]

Don’t care, didn’t ask, kinda care, still didn’t ask.

[@nikunjdixit1175]

The reviews are pretty much in line with most of the franchise. Only the first two Despicable Me movies got genuinely good reviews.

[@bhaveshghanta369]

Rise of gru also got good reviews, no?

[@nikunjdixit1175]

@@bhaveshghanta369 Ok, yeah, Rise of Gru got decent reviews, but lower then the first 2 Despicable Me films. This one has basically got similar reviews as Despicable Me 3 and the first Minions movie.

[@kmmk5022]

Something I did wish the film did was have the three daughters have more agency in the movie. Like they could’ve had some stuff about Margo struggling to fit into her new school and maybe her and Poppy forming a friendship or something Maybe have something about Anges struggling with being in Edith’s shadow and trying to become her own person. Maybe have something about her standing up to the karate instructor and beating him in a fight or something

[@thedisneycentralhub5876]

It was a very weird movie lol. The plot was all over the place. You think the plot would go one way to tell that story but then gets distracted and goes off to tell another story and then the two stories link up in a very clunky way. The one review about the note cards hit the nail on the head with that comment. It’s a mess. But I will say, i took my daughter and she really liked it. And there are some very heartwarming moments. But ultimately it’s forgettable in a couple hours.

[@kelownatechkid]

I thought it was better than the third. It dropped the restraint and has exceptionally good 3D!

[@ThePonderer]

It’s Despicable Me, what do we expect?

[@MRLONG758]

Lol ikr.

[@monicadelgado5296]

Some people like it!

[@watchf]

@@monicadelgado5296I don’t think that’s what the original comment was saying. I think he meant more like it’s just a kids movie obviously it’s not gonna be very complex or thought provoking

[@ThePonderer]

@@watchf replace “kids movie” in that sentence with “Illumination movie” and you’ve got the idea.

[@MISCHIVUS]

No surprise, this franchise makes money overseas anyway

[@christianrapper5]

I don’t even remember the plot to part 3

[@joeelliott4820]

It had no plot Illumination do not care for plot bear minimum

[@KeeperProtector]

I haven't even seen the 3rd film, just 1, 2, & the Minions movie. Illumination movies aren't terrible, but just don't have any heavy impact for them to be memorable like DreamWorks & Pixar movies.😕

[@watchf]

It was the one with the brother who wanted to become a villain like him, so gru uses him to help steal the diamond back from the 1980s ridden villain Balvazaar Brat. I quite liked it actually I think y’all are slandering it 😢

[@ArthurGabrichGames]

and as someone who just watched it, its a lot of fun, great movie and they fit a lot of story in 1 hour in a half, the villain is pretty good and the ending is great

[@jimsmagnificentminiaturemo3235]

Regardless of quality, they'll keep making these movies till they stop making money. Whoop de doo. I wonder if this franchise will ever go the way of Ice Age.

[@thunderpantz]

No one stays critic proof forever. Adam Sandler was selling like a lead balloon after the aughts.

[@zrexy79s11]

Buddy, this franchise became just like Ice Age a long time ago.

[@AWorldofKayos]

Did kris Carr get fired or something??

[@kyleschneider2957]

Is it Friday?

[@JohnMack-s7x]

Critics ratings are useless.

[@Vin_solo]

Despicable Me is basically critic-proof

[@kenbozu1]

I personally don't care what the critics say, and I never read tomatoes rotten.

[@thevagabond1314]

Australia got the film early so I’ve seen it, it’s better than 3 for sure

[@Greatxz2007]

I agree!!

[@21HolidayGuy]

I saw Despicable Me 4 earlier today and I thought it was good. I think it's better than Despicable Me 3. Despicable Me 4 is not the best in the series but I think it's better than the third.

[@united8971]

No views in 40 secs.. John fell off

Bro hasn’t gained much subscribers in 5-6 years relax

[@balloonboy303thegamingrail4]

Ikr, it's funny because he has no subscribers himself either, lol.

[@bobbyvee9950]

I did love the first Despicable Me. After that they have been enjoyable but they all kind of blend together. This one will do well, but I am not motivated to see it in the theater.

[@C-Bee]

The bar is low with illumination so it doesn’t matter the reviews.

[@Daxed.]

Watched it, the whole cinema was laughing a lot. It’s a great little movie

[@lamarrion]

My daughter liked it and that’s all that matters

[@BrothersWebOfficial]

It's a kids' movie, and they are fun, so whatever as well John go see it! Enjoy, man!

[@ForkyandAnyaFan2009RESOR-ep8cr]

I don't care if the reviews ain't that good. Despicable Me 4 is STILL the greatest Despicable Me film out of every films.

[@batsaubattler3200]

The citizen Kane? Of the despicable me movies would you say or no

[@watchf]

Really? Even despicable me 1?

[@ForkyandAnyaFan2009RESOR-ep8cr]

@@watchf no but it had every experience besides I been hearing a lot of hate of Despicable Me 3 and there was a video where it say Despicable Me 2 is pointless (Even tho Despicable Me 2 was good too and Despicable Me 3 was okay). But the first film was the only one that is good.

[@watchf]

@@ForkyandAnyaFan2009RESOR-ep8cr well I love all of them

[@ForkyandAnyaFan2009RESOR-ep8cr]

@@watchf that good for you. I've been reading way many reviews of Despicable Me trilogy. The ones that is good but the other ones that is completely bad. But I do love the entire trilogy of Despicable Me ever since I was a child because I was so obsessed with the Minions (stop simping. Just being a fan)

[@reiomi]

Poppy Prescott was the strongest character in the movie and legit the only minions that got a laugh from me were the three that stood with Gru, the other ones especially the mega minions could have burned in a volcano and I wouldnt have cared. The movie is stronger without them. Imagine getting more time with the girls or gru if you cut like half of the minions bs or hell getting more with the villain despite how gross he was. At least we could have gotten more of a chance for him to grow on us. Sofias character was forgettable and the cockroaches with human teeth will haunt my dreams for the foreseeable future. Thanks illumination I hate it.

[@WebHead_94]

Everything that you being just a viewer think this movie could have done to be better, is an improvement to what they as studio and writters offer us and ended up givin to the audience, and thats sad, not because we cant be creative but because they suppousedly study to bring quality products

[@samwaller4092]

So just like the other Despicable Me movies?

[@timebandit1266]

Doesn’t surprise me after 6 of these movies eventually its gunna burn out

[@benm5970]

This is a franchise that quite frankly ran out of steam a long time ago, I’m a fan of the first 2 Despicable Me movies but that’s it, and the second one came out in 2013, meaning that this franchise hasn’t made a good movie in 11 years, I mean when your franchise hasn’t been good for over a decade and it’s still going what reason do I have to believe that this new one will be good? It looks like it’s just there to deliver the same tired Minions slapstick humor that your 5 year kids or 65 year old grandma find amusing and that’s it, only this time they seem to be chasing the current superhero trend by having that be part of it, I just have like no interest in this franchise anymore, whenever I see a new one coming out I just kinda shrug and go “Whatever” now

[@motiv8torcrew]

Who cares It's Universal. Cash cow.

[@turtlesnail9824]

Imo it’s better than DM3 and minions 1.

[@yoimvision]

100%

[@carrevenger31]

@@dannysanchez9919actually if you’ve seen Despicable Me 4, it doesn’t have fart jokes. No part of the movie uses it surprisingly. The closest thing to a fart joke is when Agnes tells the goat pet to sit but then it poops cause it misunderstood what she meant (“sit”). But that’s only one joke that ends up being kind of somewhat similar.

[@user-fp4dr1ne7z]

Movie was eh. Felt like the story was weak and not that interesting

[@SwiftieFan-45]

I saw the movie, I loved it! The movie had a lot of emotions in it like happiness and heart warming moments.

That's the bare minimum. The film only had cheap "Aww" moments and therefore it is what I call "lazy emotional pandering."

[@TheNetflixNook]

4.6 BILLION! smh

[@luckykat08]

Despicable Me 3 wasn't bad, but Minions 2 The Rise of Gru was awful, easily the worst of the series.

[@Jay-jb2vr]

Nobody asked for a 4th

[@randomguy6695]

I agree with that sentiment. I really don’t understand how people say rise of gru was one of the better installments. I personally didn’t like it at all.

[@zrexy79s11]

​@@randomguy6695To be fair, they probably didn't mean it was good necessarily, more like less irritating than the other sequels. Ofc, that depends on who you talk to though.

[@nebuloushammer8773]

When it comes to movies, there's nothing I hate more than being forced by my niece to watch garbage movies over and over again. I hate the minions so much.

[@sixfoursoul2538]

This movie sucked I literally walk out

[@JeremyMasterson938]

People seriously need to stop praising illumination. I can’t wait to see Moana 2 wreck this film. Just like how it’ll easily wreck Megamind 2 by a long shot.
