What did you think about Despicable Me 4?

[@TheRealP.S.G]

It was good.

[@_big-dunk-gang_]

It was pretty good. I will see the movies a little rushed. I feel like they should’ve delayed maybe later on November or December this year or maybe next summer so that way they can just take their time and put more enemies in this movie but either way, not bad 7.5/10

[@RyobaHorrorAnime]

[@Its_A.Secret618]

I’d say losing their audience that likes the girls. As a kids movie I’d say it’s pretty important to have kids in the movie itself. Also, making adult designs for the girls seems like an impossible task, considering how strange and unrealistic the body proportions in DM are. It would be hard to make designs that don’t look weird.

They should just turn Despicable Me into a sitcom at this point. It's obvious that full length movies aren't gonna work anymore.

[@historicstudios2708]

Honestly, if it was a sitcom I think it would do a lot better story wise. It could be like the kid friendly family guy.

[@permere]

yes and it would be a good excuse to continue the franchise because if they continue like that there will be a despicable me 10 and it will be too redundant whereas a series of 12 seasons each season taking 2 to 3 years will have a less repetitive effect

[@OrangerJuice]

@@historicstudios2708 I'd argue that it'd be better than Family Guy. The minions aren't the best source of humor, but they work a lot better than constant cutaways and sex jokes.

[@OrangerJuice]

@@permere If they do ever make a Despicable Me 10, they need to stop throwing in new characters like as if it's a Vivziepop show by then. Like, a bloated cast would work for a sitcom, but, I don't need to see entire movies about a cockroach man and Gru's long lost identical twin. Those should be one off characters that could have a handful of tv episodes dedicated to them.

[@Erusean_pilot]

This movie is a sitcom with a high price. The amount of cutoffs make family guy jealous

[@angeles252]

It has absolutely no story, it seems like they were just comic shorts grouped into an hour and a half special; Even though Gru became the first-time father of a baby, the villains have no single motivation and are very forgettable, Lucy and the girls have no reason to be in the movie

[@isaacmurdock]

Great thoughts! Totally agree!

[@jeffreyquinde6707]

The second film was good but it was already showing signs of the episodic format of this franchise. 3 doubled down by having a lot of disconnected subplots, but there was still a main plot and ok pacing.

[@menace7885]

Yeah, it was abysmal. The problem of unnecessary characters was so clear with the m minions. Literally did nothing towards the story, and when they could've done a semi entertaining team up with gru in the already anticlimactic final battle, they don't. Useless.

[@jeffreyquinde6707]

@@angeles252 Honestly I can’t really imagine getting upset about these movies anymore. It’s clear they’re made to entertain children and make a billion dollars And honestly I enjoyed this movie much more than the third one

[@cyr0_gd]

You (assuming you are an adult) are not the intended audience. Good thing I watched the movie before I watched the reviews because that movie is kind of good. Knowing all the previous movies, I was expecting a dumb and goofy story that makes no sense but is fun to watch and it did not disappoint. I had no higher expectations than that. It's a minions movie, It does not have to be deep or with a meaningful story. Just turn off your brain and think like a child, pretty enjoyable movie. Ending musical is really good if Its the last of those movies and there is no more it.

[@Hepheat75]

Steve Carell's back must be worn out from carrying this franchise.

[@ZachMilneTalksMovies]

I have enjoyed this franchise in the past, but in this one it felt like they were more interested in doing a bunch of minion shorts and threw in a thin storyline for Gru to make it a feature length movie. I didn’t hate it, but I instantly forgot about it. Kids will love though, and I guess thats what matters.

[@nas0518]

As a DM fan and an Illumination fan, I would rewrite the story of Despicable Me 4 and make it only focus on Gru's relationship with his newborn son, Poppy forcing Gru to pull a heist and his whole family getting involved and be on the run from Maxime Le Mal who wants to hunt them down. That's it. The subplot can be about Maxime Le Mal also hatching a villainous plan to dominate the world by turning every human and animal into freaky insect hybrid mutants and making the Earth his bug-infested dystopia, while The AVL gives the family a mission to stop them. And what about the Minions and the Mega Minions? They can also be of some assistance. Also, give Maxime Le Mal more screen time, make him a lot funnier, give him an IQ of 200, and make him the best villain in the movie and the relationship between Gru and Gru Jr. would be very emotional and strongly heartfelt. And also Margo becomes friends with Poppy, while Poppy is struggling because of her toxic relationship with her dad. Her father wants to change her and be happy, while she keeps giving him the brush-off, all because she's fine the way she is, and that too can be emotional and heartfelt. I would've written the film a whole lot better and it would be better if I were the movie's director.

[@Wac5y6.Rap1tor56]

YES! I agree with you on that!

[@Du-yw1pz]

And on the topic of that. You or I should definitely have a spin-off solo prequel film about the gorls/Gru's daughters. As it ofcourse takes place before the Despicable Me films and it can show how Margo, Edith and Agnes became orphans. The plot can show us the girls bonding with their biological mother and can reveal that the girls have different fathers and how their mom has dealt with dishonest men in the past(which explains Margo's distrust towards Gru in DM1) and how their and especially Margo's wish for their mom is just make her happy and proud but ofcourse during this, the girls can probably accidentially due something stupid in the city they live in that causes the civilians to hate them and they become shunned for their actions, leaving them into running into their mom's ex/their stepdad(who would be the villain), he would lie to the girls and ould manipulate them into helping him build a machine to destroy the world, but the whole time the girls can think his invention is for good, only for them to realize during the climax of the film that they have been tricke and when the city hears this, it can cause them to hate the girls even more. But then during the final battle and the end, the city will have respect for the girls and they would finally make their mom proud before a scene would happen in which it would show how she died. (And their biological dad was already dad, but I guess the evil stepdad can probably die to.) Afterwards, it can set up the events for Despicable Me 1 to where they will then get sent to Miss Hattie's orphanage in the end. That's what i'd do.

Sometimes it’s best that some franchises stay at three movies, Despicable Me, Kung Fu Panda, and Toy Story.

[@doggo5754]

full grown adults when they dont like a children’s movie:🤬🤬🖕

[@UsuarioDeSubstancias]

The previous films were better

[@Fitzboy19]

Just because it’s made for children doesn’t mean it can’t be critiqued the same way as an adult film.

[@Anonymous-zu7dh]

A good children's movie should be able to be enjoyed by adults as well, children are often smarter than adults give them credit for. There are limits of course, toddler's entertainment mostly consist of pretty colours, pretty hard to make something that appeals to adults as well there. I really like the how to train your dragon movie trilogy, yep it's absolutely children's entertainment primarily, but it's enjoyable by older people still.

"A children's story that can only be enjoyed by children is not a good children's story in the slightest" - C. S. Lewis Idk, just thought of that quote for no reason at all

[@mrboomedout]

i thought the movie was great it just has really really fast pacing

[@isaacmurdock]

I happy you liked it :)

[@mrboomedout]

@@isaacmurdock i think it was my favorite of all the franchise and ik it’s a bad opinion i just loved it

[@isaacmurdock]

@@mrboomedout That isn’t a bad opinion at all! You like what you like, nothing wrong with that 👍

[@PussInBootsTheLastWishFan2003]

@@mrboomedoutI agree with you

[@Sailflish]

Why is my screen shaking

[@Krayd-q5j]

Imagine if these studios made a deal so Megamind could be in this movie

[@Somebuffoononline]

How much y’all willing to bet that this series’ll be pumping out 100 more movies long after the original cast is long dead and buried

[@LegoBlons]

7:05 AYO WHAT IS THAT MINION SEARCHING????

[@addisonpohlmann560]

i understand that the movie wasn’t amazing, but i was still able to watch it, yk? also, this movie was created for a child audience… so you kinda have to take that into consideration. but ofc any and all ages can watch!!

[@JuanEnriqueFloresJr]

I kind of liked it even if the plot didn’t completely make sense

[@munoz_jordan]

The cast was good, the animations were high quality, it’s just that the plot and script sucks

[@BeanieBroadcast-dk1yd]

Tbh, things would have been at the very least alright if Despicable Me had only 1 or 2 movies at most. Plus, everything from the 2015 Minions Spinoff-onwards kinda retcons them anyways.

[@BeanieBroadcast-dk1yd]

The first movie (as well as the queue for the Minion Mayhem ride) has a blueprint with the anatomy of a Minion. This implied that they were originally genetic creations from Gru and Dr. Nefario. But then Illumination with the 2015 spinoff and IT'S origins for the minions came along and said....screw it!

[@cooldude8738]

I think that this movie was very good. I didn’t really care about the lack of major story because this is literally a children’s movie meant to be funny. I also thought that the villain was pretty funny even though his character felt a bit half-baked

[@devinbrice991]

The movie reminded me a lot of the universal ride, where a lot of goofy, random things happen that are fun to look at, and theres a heartwarming sentiment at the end, but it doesnt feel like the haracters do anything to earn that ending. Also, they feel like hammed up versions of themselves, like their actors paid to say their catchphrase, get their check and go home instead of animated characters

[@wyattcollett7809]

Honestly it wasn’t the worst but it definitely felt hollow. The story didn’t feel fleshed out, the girl Gru robs the school with had no reason to be there. The villain wasn’t even villainess and there wasn’t even a big epic fight scene with him. I enjoyed the finale scene with everyone but the song really didn’t fit. It wasn’t like the others where the final musical number was absolutely amazing

[@Waddle_dee_edits]

mega minions shouldve had their own fight but noooo, they come in at the last moment when the villian was already defeated.

[@Seraphim-11]

Mega whatever the hell his name is, the one who looks like a cracked wheel of chess makes me so uncomfortable for some reason

[@fakhrymuhammad4612]

From many movies, i think the best villain for me is Vector and Scarlet Overkill. Both had actual motive and had the guts to do evil stuff.

[@mabuhay1480]

A movie made for kids isn't enjoyable as an adult, who saw that coming??? I know there are some that both adults and children can enjoy but c'mon

[@Aniparapix]

Please, in comparison Inside Out 2 would be the better big company film to spend your valuable time on. I've become sick to the double death of this franchise's continuation. Frustrating how the girls have not changed appearance wise.

[@isaacmurdock]

Yeah Inside Out 2 is the much better film.

[@iLoveBread260]

Thats cuz inside out 2 takes place 3 years after the first one

[@bentleyis]

They had so much potential and it’s all thrown away

[@brodieholland3656]

This gives me JonTron vibes. I like it.

[@cheesegrater5100]

I just got through watching it, Villan was mid but for me, ending makes up for it though. I'd give it a 6.5/10 or a 7/10 first three were way better though.

[@Meme_lord._.G]

How about this as a better story maxin is more mad about the fact that gru got him arrested but ends up going to the same prison as all the other past villains and then goes on to team up with them to get revenge boom already a better start then once they escape they end up looking for gru while gru goes into secret service but sooner the villains end up attacking the avl to find where gru is and while that happens rumsbottem gets the super minions made to help gru fight all the villains and while all that happens gru starts training while also trying to bond with his family. You can pick up from there for what happens next. Boom already a 1000 times better movie idea then that shit of an excuse for movie they call despicable me 4

[@0a1_]

honestly, i thought it was a pretty funny movie, but the plot just seemed pretty odd to me after watching it. and after watching this video, you have some pretty good points.

[@juletbrook222]

I Don't have the ability to cringe so instead i just laugh The "ok boomer" joke was actually funny for me because you know one of the executives were like "what do those kiddos do?" And then they just put that together and were like "yeah this is good" And I find that 10x funnier than any genuinely funny joke

[@mackfarlainethebarenakedau5113]

I always thought one Despicable Me was enough. It really didn't need 3 squeals, a spinoff, and a prequel/spinoff sequel.

[@Whyyoulooking45]

I KNOW YOU HEARD THE RUMORS !!!!

[@isaacmurdock]

Rumors?

[@pennysanchez7656]

@issacmurdock That was a reference to the song, “Double Life”

[@brodylee1446]

Bro is saying a kids movie is garbage just because its their fourth movies

[@Selan-hp7yd]

Funfact: the german voice actor for the villain (can't be bothered to look the name up) is known for casino-streams while having a young audience and having literal shit send to him. Good PR-choice Illumination!

[@iluvchess14736]

In fairness, gravity falls actually handled the surprise twin trope well because when you rewatch it everything makes sense.

[@BigBobCanLob]

Why does that one minion look like a skittle after I bite into it and take it out my mouth

[@colinrogers9896]

“Number one movie” yeah cause everyone wants to see how bad it is

[@genericname4739]

The stupid part is the Minions have no right being in this movie. Dru canonically is the boss of the Minions now. Gru is not the boss anymore and the AVL is not a villain organization. And to think. We were rid of those stupid oversized pills, but no. Illumination has to shoehorn a few that just stayed when the minions are a collective that collectively follow what all of them view as their boss.

[@ZionDuh-_-]

Bad movie✅ Fun to watch with friends✅ Bareable to watch by self❌

[@baxelbox313]

I liked El macho more then vector but both are the best part of the franchise beside gru

[@dhay03]

Baby Jack Jack errrr…. I mean Gru was actually probably the best thing about this train wreck. Also, why didn’t the girls age?

[@EGGarden190]

Despicable me 2 is the best one

[@Chadmiral]

Thanks for adding the Smash remix of Air Man's stage for your outro. 🔥🔥🔥💯

It’s such a good remix 🔥🔥🔥
