[@ReelJames]

*What's YOUR ranking of the "Despicable Me" franchise?!*

[@НикитаТерещенко-э9я]

😒😮‍💨😒😮‍💨😒😮‍💨

[@hannahburke7328]

First Movie - Love It! Second Movie - Good. Third Movie - Hate It. Fourth Movie - Haven't Seen It Yet.

[@ReelJames]

@@НикитаТерещенко-э9я guessing you don’t like the franchise? Lol I

[@ReelJames]

@@hannahburke7328 you gotta let me know what you think of the fourth movie when you see it!

[@hannahburke7328]

@@ReelJames Maybe I Will. 😊

[@LauraM96829]

I’m calling it now. They are gonna make as many Dedpicable me movies as there are Marvel movies. This franchise has just made them too much money for them to ever want to stop.

[@ReelJames]

@@LauraM96829 I can’t handle 20+ Despicable Me/Minions movies! 😂 They must be stopped.

[@shannondore]

Thanks for the rant, James.😂 Minions are cute, so as long as there are kids, there will be Minion movies. And maybe Steve Carell is just bored with the character now. At some point, it just becomes a paycheck. Happy 4th!🇺🇲❤😊

[@jakedebruin2246]

I miss when the series was a movie that actually appealed to both kids and adults, and had heart and character arks.

[@ReelJames]

That's more rare these days than before, that's for sure.

[@Princess_-gp3ep]

Hollywood has to stop making too many sequels.

[@ReelJames]

It's been out of hand for so long and this movie is the latest example of why uninspired sequels need to STOP 😭 Have you seen the other Despicable Me movies?

[@Princess_-gp3ep]

@@ReelJames Yes. And I really don’t like them.

[@hannahburke7328]

I Agree.

[@Thecomebackking06]

What about you just shut up

[@Thecomebackking06]

​@@hannahburke7328shut up no one likes you either

[@hannahandbee]

Happy 4th, James! I started following you for TDP (hope season 6 has been enjoyable and living up to the hype!) but recently started listening to your commentary on other content too. I enjoy your takes - you balance excitement and passion, constructive criticism (never harsh for no reason), benefit of the doubt, humor, and giving credit where credit is due. It’s so refreshing. Thanks for the entertainment and keep up the good work! 😊

[@ReelJames]

@@hannahandbee wow, thank you so much for your support and kind words! This means so much to me. 🥲

[@extrashotofespresso_]

I am such a huge despicable me fan. I am in my mid 20s and watched it with my little sister (now 15) when she was a baby all the time. Our favorite movie is Minions. We watched it all the time together. I definitely understand that these movies are lacking depth more and more as they’re literally just cash grabs lol. I mean I don’t mind but I’m honestly super surprised they’re still doing these movies😂. I will be watching it with my sister because it is nostalgic for us at this point and it was one of the ways we bonded since we have such an age gap lol. Thanks for the video and I hope it’s a good independence day if you celebrate it! ❤

[@extrashotofespresso_]

Update: I saw it yesterday with my little sister and mom and we loved it lol! Idk I think it was pretty cute. I liked the relationship with Gru and his son and just watching the goofiness of the minions. It was just dumb fun honestly and I was kinda here for it. I appreciate that you were authentic with your review! Different strokes for different folks ☺️.

[@benpage-mn1bd]

Stop saying that we don’t need anymore sequels because franchises need to continue to grow and evolve in ways that Hollywood can make more franchises

[@ReelJames]

@@benpage-mn1bd it’s one thing if sequels build on the foundation set by their predecessors. It’s another thing if they’ve become dry and uninspired continuations.

[@TheBabyCaleb]

We don’t need sequels for everything. If the movies are good and continue to build on what came before then that’s fine.

[@Pak43lol]

Correct response, bro I swear I'm getting SO TIRED OF EVERYONE MAKING THESE GARBAGE MOVIES OUT TO BE MASTERPICES

[@creedecriswell634]

They’ll never stop until they stop making close to a billion.

[@kiernanparsons9318]

Well, I'm pretty sure that Illumination has made more than a billion now. Man, I just hate how Illumination cares pretty much only about the dough they want to make and not the stories they tell.

[@christophergarrett7082]

You see Pixar does with inside out two and told a story for kids and adults. It makes you wish illumination would try harder

[@ReelJames]

@@christophergarrett7082 exactly!

[@TheBabyCaleb]

They really need to stop XD. Can’t wait for dragon prince s6! Happy fourth James 😁

[@SerowyKról-CheeseKing]

Am I the only one who didnt know this movie even existed? Like, how the flip did I not see a trailer?

[@ReelJames]

@@SerowyKról-CheeseKing 😂 The marketing has been less-than-memorable for this movie. Have you watched the other Despicable Me movies?

[@SerowyKról-CheeseKing]

@@ReelJames yeah, all of them, but never heard of this one

[@AlexisChoquette]

Exactly what happened to creativity these days ? Plot doesn’t make sense . They don’t care 🤷 what the audience thinks it’s sad 😔 evil 😈 bad influence for kids sexual

[@ReelJames]

@@AlexisChoquette While I agree the plot is a mess, I didn’t see anything that was sensual. Pretty harmless story, just poor writing.

[@katietheHTTYDcollector]

I’ll watch it when it’s on SKY TV I prefer the first two! The third was MEH 😒 and the minions movies are okay.. These movies are okay but just prefer Disney and Dreamworks and obviously Dragon Prince 😅 and company

[@Wulfgar1778]

Yes, they have gotten better

[@Isabel_fit]

I liked the first and third movie. Second was really boring. I didn't even know a fourth was coming out

[@chrisjohnston4273]

I can’t wait for the dragon Prince season six I’m so excited

[@ReelJames]

Same! It'll be here soon! Are you watching "Despicable Me 4" this weekend?

[@hannahburke7328]

Only 3 Weeks Away.

[@krimapatel5060]

Hey James! Are you gonna review Inside Out 2?

[@ReelJames]

Hi! 👋 I couldn't make that screening due to some severe weather, so I won't be able to drop a review at this rate. I'm so busy with other films and shows at the moment! Did you watch "Inside Out 2"?

[@krimapatel5060]

@@ReelJames oh okay, and I unfortunately have not. I have heard from my friends that it’s an amazing movie, with some parts of it being better than the first movie.

[@clarissawestbrook2203]

I’m a HUGE movie lover/fanatic and aspiring actress. I’ve already watched 21 new releases this year including my most highly anticipated movie of the year Maxxxine yesterday night. This was another good movie review. I would love for you to rank the Despicable Me franchise and review and rank the Beverly Hills Cops franchise and T. I. West trilogy since they all have new releases this year. ❤❤❤❤

[@ReelJames]

So glad you've already watched many new releases this year!

[@clarissawestbrook2203]

@@ReelJames The next movie I'm excited to watch is Longlegs!

[@jakedebruin2246]

So I guess despicable me has been milked dry….

[@ReelJames]

100%

[@WebHead_94]

Is worst than that, they not even trying to milk it anymore, just put minions and some colors and theres a movie....they characters and world they invented can be funnu if someone decide to write something funny whit it

[@extrashotofespresso_]

@@WebHead_94I guess something is wrong with me because I thought the movie was super cute and just mindless fun. It’s not that serious 😂

[@WebHead_94]

@@extrashotofespresso_ its not a something has to be wrong whit nobody, and i had a few giggles out of the movie, but they just felt like a bunch of youtube shorts glued in one hour in a half , i guess what the critic and a lot of us are pointing out is that: they could bring us a better product and feel like they not risking anymore , is not bad of you love or like it, even then just imagine that they could have done something even funnier or something that you as an audience enjoy even more : D

[@TDP_726w6]

I'd say it needed more funny stuff near the end but it was pretty good. I liked the animation.

[@Mvsticxve]

I don't understand why I always have a different opinion

[@ReelJames]

@@Mvsticxve and that’s OK! That’s the beauty of cinema: everyone will watch the same film and often times come away with a different view. What did ya love about Despicable Me 4?
